Object animation

Object animation is a form of stop motion animation which involve the movement of any non hand drawn objects, such as toys, which we used for our final animation which was lego. This cannot be something that is fully malleable,such as clay or wax as its object can be formed into different shapes so it would have to be an object that can retain its shape. This a form of animation that is not as used a technique for films and television and more one that would be featured on youtube instead such as with lego animations with "star wars characters. One popular object animation was robot chicken which was a tv series that aired online in 2001 and created by seth green. Each episode was roughly 11-12 minutes, it is still running, which shows the popularity of the medium which many people like. it is unique as this isn the only form of this animation which people are watching and no competitor has tried to replicate this technique. A poitive of this technique is that you can use anything and get hugely creative, also lego is great object to use as you a variety of characters you can use, "The lego movie" proved this. A negative is that you cannot move the objects so you cannot add a huge amount of depth the characters that you are using.  We used this for our final animation and was a fun process and we could move our characters in any form, luckily i had some other tools to use with the characters.
