This was the first animation that I created in a group this semester in an experimental animation module.

The animator we studied in that week was Lotte Reiniger, who created silhouette animations using card models and backgrounds (some backgrounds were made out of tracing paper). The movable joints were attached/ hinged using thin wire.

We had to pick a fairy/ folk/ traditional tale to create a 10 second animation. My group (4 of us in total) chose to animate segments of jack and the beanstalk. The scenes we animated were:

1. Seeds planted and beanstalk grows
2. Jack climbs the beanstalk
3. Chased by the Giant and destroying the beanstalk

------------------------------------------------------

I was responsible for:
-Creating Jack's character (character design and his models)
-Creating the beanstalk and its vines
-Moving everything frame by frame

This originally had audio which I took out as it used music from different games which is against the rules here.

Had alot of fun making this but we had problems with the software and the camera not working correctly at times. We also didn't know how to sort out the focus on the camera where scenes with large empty spaces caused the focus to go off.
