movie with audio


this is my original claymation done as a class exercise to learn more about how to do animation, but added some audio to it. its almost finished now, i need to added a title screen and credits and i will be finished.

i used garage band to add the audio, this made it very easy and fast.

 my movie was too long for the song so i had to slightly loop it. i did this by dragging from the top right corner of the track to the end of the movie.

this is an example of lego animation. this is just on of the many types of animation.

this is a flash animation. this is very advanced and would be very tough to pull off. i will be avoiding this as its not very easy to get a good animation from.

revenge of the pig


This is the video i edited. it is called 'Revenge of The Pig!' I edited it using imovie. i used the far far away title screen as a reference to 'Star Wars Revenge of The Sith.' for the credits i just used the standard scrolling text on a black background.

what i want to do for my arts award

I would like to learn to develop my skills in animation through learning how to use animation software to produce my own animation. This will mean having to learn how to use new programs like 'iStopMotion' and 'iMovie' for editing as well as making my own characters out of modelling clay.

weaknesses and strengths

My main strength is probably digital imaging (mainly photoshop). I really enjoy it and would like to do more of it.


The things i would like to improve on are my drawing skills o that the characters come out better each time i make a new animation.
In the future i will use my time more effectively so that everything  is smoother.
I would like to learn many new skills in animation so that after college i can use my new skills to try and get a job.

this is a robot chicken remake of Scooby Doo. its funny because they change the smart character to someone who figures everything out i 2 seconds but is ignored.
This is a song from the movie 'Nightmare Before Christmas' sung by the main character 'Jack Skellington.'
This is a small clip from one of the best claymation cartoons of al time 'Wallace and Gromit


This is a web series called 'RWBY' made by rooster teeth. it is about 4 girls who get into a university for hunting monsters.  This episode shows the main character and how she was accepted into university.





cyanide and happiness. two overweight guys fighting over cholestoroles.

we made a pretty funny video at newcastle. dean (the main character made it better because he wasn't very good).
i was doing the sound which hurt my arms but was still fun and it was a good experience.

i made a really funny video today. (the big model is mine)

the models were made using plasticine which didn't take long but was a little frustrating because the pieces kept falling off.

To make the video, we used a program called 'iStopMotion 3' and a flexible webcam. this was really easy to use and made making the video a lot faster than usual.

i really enjoyed doing this and im looking forward to doing more of this.
