Diet Coke Advert.

1.) I liked this video because it was a different way to advertise this type of product of using literal puppets on strings, I liked how it was all put together with the whole video and script. The thing I found most interesting about this video was how the puppets were dresses in a whole different type of fashion,hair and makeup. It was very well made and put together with the right pace and sound volume and clarity. It was very creative and was clear that the advert was about diet coke also  they used the product in the advert.

2.) Key inspirations I had watching this video were about how life like and up-to-date I can make my characters.

3.) Ideas I would like to use and try in my animation would be to try and make my characters as life like as possible.

4.) Things I need to do in order to be able to fufil my animation would be to make sure everything would be correct and my characters would be how I wanted them to be.

Dolmio Sauce Advert.

1.) I liked this video because the way they used human puppets to advertise this product instead of people. It was well made and easy to understand about what they were trying to advertise, the sound was also very clear and when they were talking. It was creative and clear I also understood the message that they were trying to put accross in this advert it was funny because of the way it was put together and the script. There is more than just one video for this product but using all the same characters each time only sometimes you would see new characters in the advert.

2.) Inspirations I had from this video was the type of script I could use in my animation.

3.) Ideas I would like to use in my animation from this advert might be to on how I can word and put together my script.

4.) Things I would need to fufil to make my ideas would be to make sure I would have all the characters I would want also to make sure my scenes and script were correct.

Meerkat Insurance Advert

1.) I liked this advert because I'd never seen an advert like it before especially with talking meerkats. It was a very well made video because they made the animals look relistic in the way they looked,acted and spoke with also how they dresses in clothes and how they made them speak. The video was very creative how they put it accross to the audience with what they were trying to advertise and sell during the advert. It was clear and easy to understand I also found it quite amusing how they made the advert and the emagination of the charcters they used.

2.) The key inspirations I had during watching this video was that I could set it in what ever scene I wanted also the type of characters I could use.

3.) The ideas I would like to use in my animation would be to mainly make my characters talk if they were an object or anything that could'nt talk otherwise.

4.) The things I would need to fufil to make my ideas would be to use some type of animation program if my characters are doing something I cant do by just moving them, might have some effects depending on what my animation is all about.

Chocolate Fingers Advert

1.) I like this advert because its a different, unique way of advertising this product, in the way they make them act as humans, make them speak and to be dressed and wearing wigs, the first time saw I  this video I thought it was quite funny. Its eye catching and would make the person who's watching the advert to want to buy the product.

2.) The key inspirations I had from this video is how the different ways I can move my characters and that we can record ourselves talking to make the characters speak even if they can't speak or if they're normal objects.

3.) Ideas I would like to use in my animation would be to try and make the characters talk also the different shots and ways we can move them around the set.

4.) The things I need to have and do in order to fulfil our ideas would be to make sure we've made the full story board and make sure its capable to do also that we have the right amount of characters for the amount of frames we have.

- Computer animation or CGI animation is the process used for generating animated images by using computer graphics. 

Modern computer animation usually uses 3D computer graphics, although 2D computer graphics are still used for stylistic, and for faster real-time. Sometimes the target of the animation is the computer itself, but sometimes the target is another medium, such as film.

Computer animation is essentially a digital successor to the stop motion techniques used in traditional animation with 3D models and frame-by-frame animation of 2D illustrations. 

It can allow a single graphic artist to produce such content without the use of actors, expensive set pieces, or props.

To create the illusion of movement, an image is displayed on the computer monitor and repeatedly replaced by a new image that is similar to it, but advanced slightly in time (usually at a rate of 24 or 30 frames/second). This technique is identical to how the illusion of movement is achieved with television and motion pictures.

For 3D animations, objects are built on the computer monitor (modeled) and 3D figures are rigged with a virtual skeleton. For 2D figure animations, separate objects and separate layers are used, with or without a virtual skeleton. Then the limbs, eyes, mouth, clothes of the figure are moved by the animator on key frames. The differences in appearance between key frames are automatically calculated by the computer in a process known as morphing. Finally, the animation is rendered.

For 3D animations, all frames must be rendered after modeling is complete. For 2D animations, the rendering process is the key frame process, while morphing frames are rendered as needed. For pre-recorded presentations, the rendered frames are transferred to a different format or medium such as film or digital video. The frames may also be rendered in real time.

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya English Dub

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya.

I really enjoyed this Anime film because it was different and i would have never have thought to  watch it if it wasnt for media, but im glad I did because I really liked watching it and its taught me how Anime is done and made. The whole movie was Anime but was English dubbed. The story follows the a boy called Kyon,  student entering high school, who is dragged along with the character Haruhi Suzumiya who is  a girl Kyon goes to school with. She is an girl woh was supernatural powers such as, she time travelers. She makes with Kyon's a club to investigate mysterious events  which is called the SOS Brigade. Haruhi later recruits three other members, Yuki Nagato, the shy character Mikuru Asahina, and the friendly transfer student Itsuki Koizumi. Haruhi, who is un-known of her own destructive power. The three additional members have been sent by their various organizations to observe Haruhi and prevent these powers from being unleashed, leaving to Kyon the task of maintaining for Haruhi  to make the illusion of a normal life. So the main storyline is he has to find Haruhi Suzumiya to turn time back to the way it should be so that everything could go back to normal. The sort of characters that are in Anime are animated chinese typed cartoons. The director of the film is Tatsuya Ishihara. I think ANIME and Japanese films have influenced UK/US animation films by, it has changed the way we think about Amine and aminated cartoons/films and has made us make all of our animated cartoons and films more realistic and human-like, they way the japanese do in their films. I think ANIME is different to 'western' animation because the way Anime make their cartoons and how delailed they are and also all the different facial over the top facial expressions.
