design and planning of the 5 a day stock

Hello I work for a  media company and have been asked to create a production for Coleg Llandrillo.My first plan would to be researching the stop motions to find previous successfull stop motions so i looked on this website http://spyrestudios.com/stunning-inspirational-stop-motion-videos/ . using the my target audience for this stock motion are 15-25 year olds and i will be using a screening plan from my own home.

My plan is to use the famous epic meal on youtube but in the form of vedgetables. Here is a example of a epic meal clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFB_vHVFM_8 . The tasks i have to prepare are the stock motion and the software and the materials required for the stock motion.  I will need a camera for the and the software and hardware for flash in order to create the stock motion such as photoshopa dn flash and among drawings of the picutre si create if any. Since this will be a epic meakl version but with vedgetables i will need vedgetables to cook and eat.  Sounds would be used by the free sound in order to enlighten the stock motion or i will use sound that is created by my own creations.

My characters will be myself and my background will be my kitchen using the photos i provided. the story board will be the characer with the vedgetables and telling the audience about eating healthy. doing this i will cook the food and have a 5 a day counter on the side to help show the healthy side of the cooking to appeal to the audience. the camera angles would be the normal and zooming out as well as zooming in and using different angles. The background will remain the same unless provoked by animals or humans. my effects would be jazz hands and fire.

I will make sure the music works perfectly with the timing of the of the effect that is meant to happen to help the effect of the video appeal more.
  1. The targert audience is aimed at 15-25 year olds so the possible screening plans would be a bit of colour but mostly fire and jazzy colours
  2. The sources and resources that i will need are softwares such as flash and adobe photo shop. i will also need a camera and paper for the resources of creating the animation.
  3. my animation will be a cut out animation of epic meal. i will probably be using free sounds so that no copyright is intended but will be allowed to credit the music maker.
Drawings and designs

the characters  am planning are the bowl mr stickman and the bear with the fruit been added as the resource of mr stickman. the background of this animation will be paper so that the cut outs will look very detailed and stand out compared to the background.

initial storyboard.

the storyline will be a bowl with fruit shown as the fruit is placed and sliced into the bowl which then mr stickman challenges to its healthyness, after eating the bowl he feels he can challenge the bear and so he did and he becomes victorious. the movement will be sued as frames per second with slow but effective movement. the effects that will appear at the beggining and end of the  animation are fade in and fade outs of the animation. 

Design soundtrack

i will make sure that the animation and the sound are in sync so that the music does not lagg or go over the time that it is meant to be produced and developed to allow perfect synchronization.

Development log

In order to create the animation i designed i will be using paper and pencils for the animation and then the addition of the camera in order to fully allow the movement of the animation to run smoothly. Doing this allows me to prepare my assignment and allow the creation of the models to be made after they have been created I then took pictures of the created models and once that was finished I ut them together using windows movie maker in order to create a simple yet effective animation. After that was complete i then looked on http://www.newgrounds.com/ in order to find free music to add to my animation with giving credit to the author of the music.
