Hello from Pudsey Bear

Animated Pudsey Bear. This is a great example of a simple idea, also only one feature on Pudsey is being animated at a time, making the short sequence easy to watch for the viewer.

This animation was made with Animation In A Box in only 2 hours. This great studio solution makes animating quick and easy for all ages and abilities.



Made for Children in need.

Remembrance

This film was made yesterday, with a small group of teachers on a training event, from Wrington Primary School, in North Somerset. Touching, simple and very relevant for today. I love the way the rain drops, look like tears, falling onto the mud. Made on the day long animation masterclass, with Oscar Stringer

Special effects are also animation

All the special effects we see in films, TV programmes and adverts, are a form of animation. Similar to stop-motion animation, special effects are drawn, painted or composited onto individual frames, one at a time. This short tutorial video shows you how to make a Lego Indiana Jones wink, drawing onto the individual frames, that have already been captured. Using the drawing tools that are a feature of the animation studio software that comes with Animation In A Box, from The Real Animation Company. You can draw and paint simple effects onto your already captured animation. The key to success here is making sure the effects are quick and don't last too long, also a sound effect can be added to them to give the effect more depth and have been planned in advance. Painting a wink onto a Lego character is a good place to start.
