Animation Blog - Step One


"Stop Motion Animation is a technique used in animation to bring static objects to life on screen. This is done by moving the object in increments while filming a frame per increment. When all the frames are played in sequence it shows movement. Clay figures, puppets and miniatures are often used in stop motion animation as they can be handled and repositioned easily.

Once Tara and I had decided we were going to work together, we decided what the best topic for our stop-motion animation would be. We wanted to use a topic that would be affective and would teach the children something useful for life. As students we needed to think outside the box to make sure that the audience would understand our message, this is then when we came up with the idea to do our topic on alcohol abuse. The reason why we chose this topic as we believed it was a well-known problem to people, we also wanted to show the signs to our audience on how a problem can get worse.
 

Alcohol abuse means drinking excessively, drinking more then what the recommended limits of alcohol consumptions. Alcohol abuse can lead to number of health problems which can affect you physical and mentally, such as alcohol poisoning, cirrhosis of the liver, inability to work and socialise and destructive behaviours, such as drink-driving.

A problem with alcohol starts with the increase amounts of alcohol you take in. The three main risk categories based on how much you drink, that can be used to help judge your own level of risk, are lower-risk, increasing risk and higher-risk.
