My Chosen Idea

I have decided to create a children's colouring book for my extended project, I will use Adobe Illustrator to create the images of objects/animals. I have bought a colouring in book to get some ideas. I will also create the front and back cover. I'm not sure whether to make the colouring book themed, or just random pictures. If I choose to do a themed colouring book, i could do all sorts, for example: animals, people, objects, places. 

Children's Colouring Books.

My second idea was to create a children's colouring book, it would consist of man pages of animated animals/objects/number/letters etc. in which children can colour in, and having five niece's myself a colouring book comes in handy. I would create the animated images on Adobe Illustrator , we have only just started learning how to use Illustrator but this project would allow me to develop my skills further. I have looked on Google at animated images and have picked a few of my favourite.

i Stop Motion Animation Video's

I have been looking at i Stop Motion animation video's on YouTube. There is a wide selection of video's ranging from people using Lego to create the animation, using other objects and using themselves. I have picked a few which I really enjoyed watching and hopefully if I choose to create an i Stop Motion animation for my extended project I could pick up some idea's from the video's.

This first video is two young men making an animation using themselves and t-shirts. I really enjoyed this animation, it has humor and you could watch it over and over. 

The second video is made using Lego, it is a re-creation of a scene from the film Grease, I really like this animation firstly because i love the film Grease and you recognize who the Lego characters are meant to be acting.

This last video is falls into the comedy genre, it's just a simple wooden model but the creater HansSeg has been clever and given the model a character, sort of like a personality, it made me laugh so much when the creater slaps the model for moving while he's drawing her, I think it's a really good video and has had a lot of thought put into it. 

Idea's For Extended Project

Idea One: My first idea for my extended project is to create an i Stop Motion animation. I have had previous experience using i Stop Motion when I was on work experience at Arbury Primary School, I had a group of young children and I had to teach them and help them create an Egyptian themed animation. It was a great experience and think I would thoroughly enjoy it.


Idea Two: My second idea for my extended project is creating a children's colouring book on Adobe Illustrator. We have been learning how use illustrator in class over the past week and iv'e still got a lot to learn. I think this idea is a good idea and I could maybe make some money out of it, I have five young niece's and know what young children like.
