Experimental animation test

for my experimental animation i have decided after watching the youtube videos i want to just experiment with using different art materials and making it into a stop motion animation.

With this test which i hope works as rendering it was a nightmare!!! i tried using plasticine, pastels and water colours. i wanted to try and get them to flow into each other so i made the pastel wipe away the plasticine so i would have a clean piece of paper to go onto the watercolour. However i did fail as the lighting went wrong cause i did the watercolour at a different time so it became darker. Which i need to watch out for when im making my actual animation. With this test i was just seeing how they would work not worrying about the music for now though i can see how it would work with the music. I would like to experiment with more art materials before i get started with the actual thing and do more tests. And also check the size of the images im taking as the first load i did were extremely smaller in file size compared to the next load which is most likely why it took ages rendering and uploading. And why the quality is so bad cause i kept trying to make it smaller =S .



I really like the effect of the watercolour and how it spreads and i think where i made the plasticine create a wave looks effective and would work well with music. I think the pastel worked well to switch between different mediums as well. I could also in another test try drawing with pen ontop of the watercolour to see how that works and the pen should bleed with the water too.
