Morph

The film shorts series 'Morph' was a huge inspration for our sequence. It is animated to a brilliantly high quality with loveable characters and simple, funny story lines. Morph was created by Aardman. A production company that focuses mainly on stop frame animation and has been responsible for many fantastic childrens films and expertly realised plasticine animations such as Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run and Shaun the Sheep. As our style of film is similar to films produced by Aardman, it would be a perfect company to help us make and release our film. They also have fab studios and facilities within their comapny building in bristol, specially designed and built for them.
   This clip was shot at about 30 frames a second, alot more then our 10 fps. This allowed the animation to flow smoothly and alot of detail to be put into the movement of the characters e.g. natural looking walking, the response the rest of the body has to a small movement, making the models talk. The draw back, this is very time consuming. Unfortunatly, we didnt have the time to have the frame rate so high for our little piece of footage, no the required animating skills, but it's something we can aspire towards.
