MUSEUM TRIP

Today was the trip to the Museum of the Moving Image. Although my group's tour guide didn't really stop at many of the demos before the museum had to close, I did get to take part in their animation station. Basically, it showed how animated movies used to be made before computers. It involved taking a couple of shapes and moving them along a background bit by bit to photograph them in each position. Once you achieved 100 shots, you would have a 10 second movie once all the shots play together. I only managed to do 44 shots but got a pretty decent short out of the deal. Since I have a background in creative fields, the concept as a whole wasn't really new to me, but something I did learn was that for each position you had to take two shots. Which makes sense as you want the image to have some exposure so it can be seen by the eye and not have it go too quickly and be completely missed.
