As you can see, the animated film is very detained in every aspect, from each blade of grass to the shading on the face this because computerized animation is able to take one image and adapt it in many different ways to create the effective image. The film was budgeted at £145,000,000 and the gross making was £176,000,000. A typical animated film such as this one would take the producers up 3-5 years to create before it will reach the big screen.
Stop-Motion
Compared to computerized animation there is also the use of stop-motion animation, which is the technique of physically shaping images or objects to then make you believe that they are moving by themselves. However, the technique is created by taking many individual captions of the image/object every second that it may change movement, making the process look slick and flowing. Unlike computerized animation, the process of created a stop-motion animation takes much longer. A typical stop-motion animation such as Wallace and Gromit would take up to 7 years to create
The stop-motion I have focused my research on is the film Chicken Run which is made by the same creators as Wallace and Gromit, which is directed by Peter Lord and Nick Park. The film was made at the Aardman Animation Studios which specializes in stop-motion clay animation and was produced in partnership with Dream Works within 2000. By using clay as the characters and throughout the film, the director were able to bend and shape them as much as they want to create the illusion of them physically moving by their own. The film is 84 minute long which the models were manipulated and photographed 24 times every second of the film. Within my next post I will attempt my first stop-motion animation. References
