Creating the animation
In this blog I will be showing my
experiments in animation. All images were taken using a Fuji Finepix S1900
Bridge camera on an octopus tripod. The majority were filmed indoors unless
stated otherwise. When using artificial lighting, I used 2 desk lamps
positioned either side of the set and an overhead light to even things out and
reduce shadow. The quality of the photographs were too high for the animation programme I was using so on realising this, I then found and image resizing programme
through which I processed all of my images before finally uploading to Gifmaker
to convert to an animation. In Gifmaker, I was able to choose the speed I
wanted my animation to run at – frames per second. As you will see throughout
my experiments this was a thing that took a while to get right.
