My ideas for creating my Zoetrope

Here I have added images and a vague outline of why I have come up with these ideas. Also I have outlined what technique I would use for each one if I was to create them. I would like to create all of them but I feel to start of with first before I do anymore I am going to go with my last idea which is using my dog as the key aspect in this project. I feel by using her I can get the images on my camera alot easier whereas with the animals such as squirrels and blue tits I can not guarantee they will be there, they would be a lot harder to film or even take pictures of. If I had more time then I would maybe do one of them but I feel that what I have chosen will be fun, creative and sentimental.

Sequential, what I'm going to do next

Now after completing one conceltina storyboard I am going to create another one but using different images from magazines. The object in my story to give a little clue is clocks and time freezing. I will hand paint that one and place it on my blog to explain how and what the story is about.

Final sequential storyboard

The story here is; A girl goes into a clothes shop looking for a dress, she spots this perfect, pink dress and as she grabs it another girl grabs it as well. They start arguing about who seen it first, then it turns into a cat fight. Using the phrase cat fight I thought it would be moire creative to turn these two girls into cats. One of the cats/girls then using cute eyes says 'PLEASE' for the dress and she stands still so tyhat is where I added the main words that had to be put in which were 'BE STILL'. The other girl gives in and gives the dress away. The story ending with the cat/girl holding the dress and cheering saying 'YES I GOT IT!'
I have really enjoyed this part of the project. It has been productive, fun, and very successful. To get to this point I started of by collecting images from old newspapers and magazines and created a collaged piece on a rough template of the conceltina, picking out an object and a starting point, in this case a girl. With the collage I created a vague story filling in rough sketches of the missing parts so that the story made more sense and linked together a little more. I then re-drew the image as a hole so that it looked a lot more like a story and flat.
From this I scanned the image into photoshop and edited it to create a more professional finish. Overall, I am very pleased with the out come, it looks professional, bold, colourful, and neat. I don't think I would change anything about it as it came out better than i expected seen as I am not brilliant at photoshop. The only thing I would do is maybe hand paint with watercolours as well which if I have time I will do. I feel it would be a good idea to do as then it gives an alternative so I could determine whether or not digital looks better or the hand painted one does for next time
