For the first workshop, I broke down the frame sequence and drew what I though were the keypoints. This is important to capture the eventual movement of the animation.

I then digitally drew the keypoints out.

The brief: I was required to create a 3-5 second ident for Ulster University.  Using Stopmotion.

When creating the ident I had to think about what Ulster University symbolises to you and how you would visualise those aspects.

My group an I brain stormed some ideas, concepts and materials we could use in response to the brief.

Storyboard 1 (Play Dough Stop Animation)

# data[].attributes.body
I started off with something simple, to get used to stop motion and play dough.

I had the idea to have balls (representing people) gathering into one to create ulster university. This symbolic of how the people from different corners of the world create ulster university and how community brings them together.

Storyboard 2

My next idea was about the individual and how they benefit by going to ulster university. This ident is a bit more promotional and the symbolism is clearer. Words that have “U” flash on the screen. Adjectives that can be applied to an ulster university student. Such as “Unique, Ambitious, Useful and Educated”.

I’ve added sound. In reflection. I could’ve made some shots clearer.

I’ve added sound by foley. I scrambled up paper and wrote to capture it. Again, I could’ve made some frames clearer. I could’ve also made the words thicker so it can be legible.

Quick 2D idents (draft and test)

Idea was that you “Dive” into new opportunities (ulster University) If I had more time and better devices I could make it better. Made on flip note, on phone.

My theme was: items that hold water.

As you can see, the motif is the interior shape of a bean which represents water.
