Evaluation:
Roller Animation 1:
When rolling the Roller Animation, it first appears to be in some case a "Robot" who is seen crouching, in a sense pulling a disturbing face and raising his hands/ arms slightly. His general look and his antennas coming out of his head show clearly that it is a Robot. Through the actual Animation it shows a "Robot" standing up, and then proceeding to crouch over and over, but it generally looks realistic in the way of how it generally looks. In terms of this roller animation I would say it was generally easy to make, and would definitely consider making these again, and recommend it to anyone willing to try new things as they are so easy to make and can be seen as quite interesting.
Roller Animation 2:
When rolling this Roller Animation, it appears to be a cartoon smiley face, who is generally just smiling in a creepy manner. The general look I went for was cartoon appearance, when the rolling starts you can simply see the fact that the face turns from smiley to a laughing animation, face. From this idea I felt it would generally look different from the rest of my peers.
In terms of thinking about the two examples in which I used being animations, I would definately say that they are as they both animation as they both manipulate time.

Thaumatrope Animation & How it works
Thaumatrope:
Through the thaumatrope in which I created, i made it using very basic animation. The images on the thaumatrope was a fish and a fish bowl, and misleading the audience to believe that the fish was in the bowl. If you are twisting the elastic band on each side too slowly or too fast then you will not be able to see the animation clearly, but as the animation is required to be twisted moderately fast this helps to then be able to see the animation in a more clear perspective. What is good about thaumatrope animations is that it can be drawn as whatever you please from a stickman to a fish and fish bowl, you can use your imagination in this situation and that is what is so good about it. The thaumatrope itself is an animation as it is an illusion of movement which tends to use photography which shows that the fish is inside the fish bowl but really it's not. The thaumatrope is quite fun, but won't keep you entertained for long as it tends to get boring after a while, but in terms of how long it takes to make, it's definitely worth the experience. When comparing to an animation film, it doesn't tend to have as many different shots that would incur within an animated film. From looking at my previous post analysing what animation is, I would definitely say that my thaumatrope is definitely on the side of being an animation, although I would say it's not the best.

Animation
What is Animation?
Animation can be seen as the illusion of speed in movement when using photography to allow images to capture certain images which are then moved at a rapid speed when edited and or projected. The progressive technique of photographing can be used with objects such as drawings or even puppets/ models.
· Drawn / Cell Animation Examples:
Drawn Animation which can also be known as directanimation or animation without a camera is the overall animation technique where footage is produced by creating images directly onto the film stock, as to oppose to other forms of animation where images or objects are photographed frame by frame with an animation camera.

· Stop Motion / Model Animation Examples:
Stop motion animation is what captures one frame at a time, with physical objects that are moved between each frame. Once the sequence is finished and you play back the images rapidly, it tends to create an illusion of movement.

· Computer Generated Animation Example:
Computer generated animation is the overall process used within the creation of animated images, pictures. Computer generated animation encompasses both statis scenes as well as dynamic images, while computer animation tends to only refer to the moving images.

Scenario / Vocational Context
A new animation website, which will operate commercially to deliver content to subscribers and simultaneously fulfil an educational remit for which it is receiving government funding, is commissions a series of short form animations as part of its launch. I have been invited to contribute to the educational resources section of the site and produce a micro stop motion animation short, which will be aimed at 14-19 audience, to be features within the launch week.
