I took it upon myself to use the animation departments facilities that I had access to last year for the animation module. After trying to decide whether we would go for a model animation or a drawn animation we went for drawn. This was because we were unsure as to how the model animation would work when viewed through binoculars from a distance, a flat image would be easier to make out.
Me and Faysal designed a few different boats in our sketchbooks and decided on the final boat. I then took it to the animation department and drew 12 frames in the correct size for the praxinoscope. These were tested out when we got back to Hackney and worked well, they will later be mounted on stronger card and painted.
