Zu3D

In our last lesson we had the opportunity to use Zu3D, which is a software that enables you to create stop motion animation films quickly and easily. Here is a link to the website which explains and shows all the things that this software enables you to do: http://www.zu3d.com/features
At first when I opened the software, I thought it was going to be quite difficult to use and didn't think I would be able to create a really good stop motion mini film, but after watching Mandy's demonstration and trying a few times for myself, I quickly got the hang of it. Once getting familiar with the different options and understanding how to take multiple frames, we had to get into small groups and create a small stop motion film. Me and my friend decided that we were going to use paper to create our film and came up with the idea to make a paper origami game and the stop motion film would show how each different section of the game is made. The amazing thing that this software enables you to do is take lots of images that end up becoming a film once finished, so you can go back over the images to get them perfect and delete the ones that are not. Once we had finished our film we were so pleased with how it turned out, we couldn't actually believe that we had made it. The completed film shows our paper design coming to life all by its self, even though it was quite difficult we were able to take all the images without our hands in the pictures, which left the film looking professional and really effective.

I will upload the film to another post as it is saved on the university computer, but below I have uploaded a short paper stop motion animation to show you what they are like.
