Painting Research

Physical S.E.X. - 2005, Copywrite Tim Bavington
This piece is very appealing and simple. I like the rainbow effect on a simple background. The use of positive and negative space surprises me and the overall feeling is heart warming.

Black Form II - 2012, Copywrite Ellsworth Kelly
I love the simplicity of this piece. It has basic shapes and communicates a lot of design to me. The colour scheme also impresses me.

Not Titled - 2015, Copywrite Richard Wright
Very straight forward, and interesting. I love the simplicity of this piece.

12 Principles of Animation

5: Follow through and overlapping action

This principle is used to finish up actions after one action has already been completed. Such as when a character stops, there hair keeps falling until it is still. It is a very important action to make stop motion look more real.

6: Slow-out and Slow-in

This principle shown how many frames there will be in different timing of an acton. In the beginning there might be a lot of frames to make the action look smooth, near the middle there are less frames to make the action hold up a little, and near the end there are more frames once again.

7: Arcs

This effect is used to create a smooth circular effect.

Techniques for Stop Motion Animation

This tutorial is very helpful to use with stop motion. The guy talks about how to set up the camera so it is very firm and still. Plus he talks about some cool techniques to do with stop motion, like the dry erase board he uses to do so. He also explains what materials he uses to set up and make the animation itself.

Phenakistoscope



How it works:
The phenakistoscope uses the persistence of motion. This technique creates an illusion of movemnet.
History:
In 1832, Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau and his sons introduced the phenakistoscope. It was also invented independently in the same year by Simon von Stampfer.
Interisting Facts:
The machine is actually not being modified between frames, but is just being spun, the result is an effect of motion.
