This is our storyboard for the animation. It has a picture for each chapter. I have not coloured it in because the book it black and white with a one thing in red.

This is the lighting and camera plan, the largest hits will be close by but slightly to the side, we must make sure there is no obvious reflection. The camera positions will be directly overhead for the stencil animation part,  and directly in front of the animation for the silhouette animation part.

This is our written proposal for our final major project.
We are going to make a film by animating a children's book called Ottoline and the Yellow Cat. The book has pictures in it already so we are going to use these by photocopying them, printing them and cutting them out to use as stencils.
The animation techniques we are going to use are stencil and silhouette animation. We will animate the book chapter by chapter so we make sure not to make any mistakes and if we do we can edit them and correct it.
Because we are working as a pair and each person has to have a different final project one version will be with voices and the other will be a silent film but with music and sound effects.

The target Audience will be children 7 - 12 years old and their parents.
Some of the existing products that we have been influenced by are: the Owl Babies, a children's book that has been animated to a good standard and has vioces and some sound effects. Also we have looked at a 1922 silhouette animation by Lotte Reiniger of Cinderella. It is also a silent movie and is still enjoyable to watch as well as animated to a great standard.

We both share any production roles and responsibilities because we are only a pair and will be working together on all aspects of the production.

The cast will be people who do the voices of the  characters, we are going to ask each person we have in mind if they are willing and if not we will find someone else. If we cannot find anyone we can use someone from either the drama department or someone else on another course in the media department who is willing.

We will be keeping record of our production work using our diary log and talking about what we have completed and using pictures of the day's work.

The main risks are of electrocution, tripping over wires and chairs, and crashing into tables, lights, cameras and other people.

There are very few possible legal and ethical issues, the biggest would be copywriting or plagiarism by claiming that the story and book were our own which it is not in any  way.

This is an early silhouette animation by Lotte Reiniger in 1922. it is basic and has not music or ound effects but is good because it clearly enables you to know who the characters are and what is happening, especially if you know the story already. This could be a good example to follow and the stencils and movements are very good as well as the plot.

This is a silent movie that is CGI animated and it does have sound effects and music. I like the fact that it is not boring or with not a lot happening but is quite fast paced and entertaining. i would like to do something similar with our stencil animations.

"Silent" is an animated short film created by Academy Award® winning Moonbot Studios. It celebrates how storytellers, inventors, and technology work together to create cinema magic. The story follows two street performers who dream of bringing their "Picture and Sound Show" to life.

This is a silent clay animation, we might do something like this but we would have more happening as in this film it only stays in one room and there is only one character but it still very well animated and it is very smooth and must have taken a long time to complete.

Silent Thoughts 2008-2009. Directed by: Waref Abu Quba & Antoine Entabi. WINNER, BRONZE AWARD FOR SHORT FEATURE FILM COMPETITION, DAMASCUS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, 2009.

This is an imitation of the animation created for Harry Potter, they have used Hermoine's narration form the film but have created their own version of the film using silhouette instead of CGI. This is good but we would use faster animations as this is quite slow and have a golden background instead of just black and white.

A silhouette animation I made for my senior project.

This is a type of silhouette animation, we would like to incorporate some of this in our film, but with Windows and a light shining behind it or at least appearing to.

This is the animated version of the book, the very hungry caterpillar. We would like to do something similar but with better animation that is smoother and better audio as this be had fuzzy sounds in the background when the narrator was talking.

This is the animated version of the book Owl Babies. We would like to imitate something like this for our own f.m.p.

Today we have begun to plan our final major projects. So far we have put ourselves into production groups, I am with Lewis. We have created a mind map of our ideas. We have agreed that we are going to animate the book Ottoline and the Yellow Cat. We think we will do one version with sound and speech but do another version as a silent movie. we have a possible over 20 characters who speak so we need to ring the right people and are considering the drama students. we are going to use mostly stencil animation definitely but are also going to use some silhouette and possibly some object animation. the picture is of an example of a silhouette animation.
