Blackton Animation

Blackton

 

 

Blackton animation is where at each frame you draw an extra piece to the drawing and record every little bit you add, and then pause it whilst you are drawing, which makes the image look like its being drawn its self and makes the image look like its animated.

 

This is a very cool technique although it can take a long duration to actually collect the clips needed.

 

I have tried doing this animation and i found it incredible hard as if you do a mistake it makes the animation look out of place and distorted as well as it takes a long time to record, as we were only recording around 30 seconds of film it took us arround 40 minutes to actually create which wasvery slow.
