Hey everyone here is my Short Film that I did for Social Media
Blender Week 3
Cat Character
Last Thursday I have been creating a character that looks like a cat
This is some the screenshots of what the progress looks like so far

Blender Monkey Animation
For today’s first lesson on Blender we were just playing around with the software so we can get used to and also learn something
Monkey’s rendered with my bright light blue and streaks of pink
Then I decided that the monkey’s would spin around the donut
Feel free to play around with the Monkey’s
- You can zoom in and out
- You can click and move it about
P.5.js Playing Around
I have just been playing around with P.5.js web editor and here is some the examples I have done

Infomercials Research
Boy George – Karma Chameleon Telephone
I like this Karma Chameleon Telephone infomercial because when people phone Karma Chameleon starts to sing the Karma Chameleon song that everybody knows
Atomic Charge Wallet Commercial As Seen On TV
I like this infomercial because is about wallet that can charge your phone at the same time and no need to carry around that big wallet
Phone Relief Hands-Free Headset
This is fantastic infomercial because you can use your phone handsfree so you can still continue whatever you were doing
Cat Tower
This fantastic Cat Tower infomercial because cats are always sitting on your funitune and now they will have their own place to chill out and relax and also it is easy to move so you can place it anywhere in your house
Amazing Elastic Plastic
This is a fantastic Amazing Elastic Plastic infomercial because you can just make anything out of it and also it will not pop like normal balloons do
Shower Wow
I like this Shower Wow infomercial because before kids didn’t want to take a shower but after the Shower wow is put on they will always want to take showers now
Playing around with my Intials
Enjoy watching my Intials idea this was one of ideas for my animation 🙂
Spyder’s Adventures
Here is my first year animation.
Enjoy watching it 🙂
Animation Techniques
There are 5 types animation, they are
- Traditional animation
- 2D Vector-based animation
- 3D computer animation
- Motion graphics
- Stop motion
I will talk about them all but give you the shorter version of them
Traditional animation
In traditional animation, animators draw images on a transparent piece of paper fitted on a peg using a colored pencil, one frame at the time. Animators usually test animations with very rough drawings to see how many frames they would need for the action to work. The animation process of traditional animation can be lengthy and costly.
2D Animation
2D animation is the term often used when referring to traditional hand-drawn animation, but it can also refer to computer vector animations that adopts the techniques of traditional animation.
Vector-based animations, meaning computer generated 2D animations, uses the exact same techniques as traditional animation, but benefits from the lack of physical objects needed to make traditional 2D animations, as well as the ability to use computer interpolation to same time.
3D Animation
3D animation, also referred to as CGI, or just CG, is made by generating images using computers. That series of images are the frames of an animated shot.
The animation techniques of 3D animation has a lot of similarities with stop-motion animation, as they both deal with animating and posing models, and still conforms to the frame-by-frame approach of 2D animation, but it is a lot more controllable since it’s in a digital work-space.
Motion Graphics
The skills for motion graphics don’t necessarily translate to the other types of animation, since they don’t require knowledge of body mechanics or acting, but they do have some attributes in common such as understanding good composition and the all important camera motion.
Stop Motion
Stop-Motion animation can be referred to any animation that uses objects that are photographed in a sequence to create the illusion of movement.
The process of stop-motion animation is very long, as each object has to be carefully moved inch by inch, while it’s being photographed every frame, to create a fluid sequence of animation.
