As mentioned in earlier posts, here is our previous work on animation. There is a jump cut from one of the blobs having a thought bubble to Malcolm in a forest. The problem there was that istop motion could only handle smaller files and therefore after reaching a certain size, about 30 seconds worth of footage was lost and we were so close to our deadline that it would have been impossible to recreate that exact footage. So instead we just worked on sound in all the scenes we still had to give it a bit more life.
To create Milly, Marvin and Malcolm we used small plasticine blobs on a whiteboard. The whiteboard featured all of the background and imagination aspects, whereas the plasticine simply showed the character's position. Sound was also very important in this piece as it gave the on screen violence an innocence. For example when Milly is introduced people shout "MILLY" in a very childish kind of way which is typical of children's television programmes. Its is this that helps Milly, Marvin and Malcolm stay within the borders of our target audience, this being children between 3 and 13.
