This is an experiment I have done in After Effects to show that I can do more than just stop motion. If I had the time again I would use After Effects more, as I really like experimenting with the different effects it has to offer.

Final Animation
This is my final animation. I have put it on YouTube and uploaded it from there. I hope you all like it! Stop motion worked well with my audio track and the animation flows at the same time as the music. It was not what I originally intended to do, but my original idea was too literal and character based, I found I over complicated the original idea and would have taken far too long to achieve. My final animation followed my storyboard quite well, however I changed the ending because it didn't work with the time of the music.

My original idea
Rough Sketch
Final Storyboard
I had planned everything out and created my final storyboard, but then I listened to the music again and it made me realized that I had gone completely in the wrong direction. It was too literal and I didn't really like the idea of having so many characters in my animation. I will have to put my thinking cap on once more and start again.
My own example of animation
My Experimental video
This was an experimental clip. I used paper here and manipulated it so that the girls arms and legs moved. I should have used a black background so you could see it better.

Initial thoughts of Audio track
My audio is called "Excited" I can describe it in three ways: Pleasant sounding, Getting ready in the morning and Lively.
Initially I couldn't get the word Excited out of my head and thought of Celebratory music. After listening to it a few times I really thought it reminded me of first thing in the morning, just after your alarm goes off and you get out of bed to get ready for the rest of the day.
Animation research
Hand drawn animation is the place to start, very simple but time consuming which i found out through the workshops.
Below is a very cleverly made animation, I would like to achieve something like this for my final piece, although I think I may me getting ahead of myself.
The animation below contains a similar story which I would like to have in my animation.
Beginning: Waking up to an alarm clock
Middle: getting ready
End: end of the day?

Brief:
We will be allocated a piece of music which we must familiarize ourselves with and then choose three descriptive words which are inspired by the soundtrack. The choice must be intuitive and based on our emotional response to the music. The research process will then take a visual form once the words have been chosen, and will be about making and doing. The final animation should be between 20 and 30 seconds long so we will have to edit the audio accordingly and select a shortened section that is the most inspiring and appropriate for your narrative.
