Lense Based Gif

I bought some plasticine in the hope that I could make some models for my characters. I have done clay work before (working at an arts and crafts club in the holidays) and understand that you need to work from blocks of clay rather than making little bits and sticking it on as it doesnt work. Therefore I made plans of the different sections of I was going to model. I bought 3 tones of the same colour so that they would match the drawings of the characters.

I engraved this using an etching tool, pushing the neck back so that it would stand back from the chin. I didnt realise how difficult it was using plastecine until trying to craft this figure! It is not as malleable as clay at all.

Basically she couldnt stand up. The blocks used for her head and skirt and top is waaaaay to heavy compared to the arms and legs. I was considering how I could maybe add something through it like a pole or hand her from her head and hold her with string. I also couldnt figure out how to glue the parts together because PVA glue wasnt enough.

I therefore was panicking slightly as I didnt have very much time but luckily my models were free! So I got them to dress up in their costumes and go outside to the road where I could take lots of photos of them acting. I stood in the same place and filmed it 2ce. There are some absoultely amazing mid run photographs of the guy

I then had to over lay the different photos and put them in the right order . I tried lining them up by the curb and the girls shoes. I also made the first image low opactity so I could line up the images better.

I has 11 different layers/images.

I then had difficulty saving the Gif. It wasnt even so much the saving it was that something happened to the image quality. It either saved very pixlated with different colours of grayed the colours. What was bizarre was that when I saved the Gif and put it into the 4 different options they looked normal and how it came up on my screen but as soon as they actually saved it went wierd. 

I decided to submit the Gif that had over exaggerated colours because I felt that it made the people look more like characters.
