STEP BACK WALLACE AND GROMIT!...the king and his lil peepuwles are here!

This is the final animation which took quite a while but in the end it paid off. I have to challenge myself by using plasticine and the outcome was good! I think i could have done a lot better if i had more time on my hands. The reason being is because i thought i was able to lend out a camera during the easter holidays but the uni was shut though out uni so i had to wait until it was open...on the last week. so i practically only had 3/4 days to start and finish the animation. But between the holidays i prepared myself by creating the characters and patterned backgrounds.

Story of the animation


We had to create a story by using/listening to a certain soundtrack (mine was tribal). we also had to come up with 3 different words which relate to the story and soundtrack. So i picked king, bounce and shake.

The story of this animation is very abstract. It shows the characters dancing and the person in the middle eventually becomes king whilst the little people watch on. Eventually the little fellas work off then the king becomes confused as to what is going on. So he carries on his dance, but then the crown jumps off his head and falls to the floor, then the main character shakes away...whilst the backdrop carries on shaking.

I wanted to relate the to the idea of basquaits work which has the quote of  'all kings must get their heads chopped off' so i took this idea want manipulated it into my own version, and made it humorous for the audience.

The crown is the most emphasized in the animation, as it starts off by shaking...and ends off by sitting up-side down.
