Design Process for our Stop Motion Animation Project

When me, Rhiannon and Stacey first heard of the project and what we had to do we were all petrified because none of us felt that we were particularly creative enough to do such a thing and none of us had done anything of the sort before. Trying to think of ideas initially was really difficult because as you can imagine there are thousands of different messages you could portray through the use of stop motion animation and many different ways of doing so. However, on the first day of designing the animation I was unable to attend uni therefore Rhi and Stace carried on without me but continuted to text me and keep me in the loop all day about ideas and we shared suggestions on different ideas and little things to do. We finally agreed on creating a stop motion animation using clay and our story was to be about the life of a flower and how it grows and so on - something scientific and educational for children to learn in a fun way. Rhi got on and started to make the set and stace started creating our little clay characters which were flowers, seeds, the sun moon and so on. Here is a picture of them getting stuck in below :D:D.
