P2. Animation Comparison Write-up
South Park:
Everything starts up with the storyboard and thy usually spend about an hour on each page of the story board. they also mentioned that the storyboard had to look sort of like a comic to begin with.
Every time there is a new character they compare it to a main character to know how tall they will be compared to them as the main characters from south park are pretty small.
The also do the front, side and back of the character which will help them remember what they look like and also makes it easier for them to draw it.
After that they bring sound and start to work with it.
The first thing they see everything that has been done the storyboard come to life is with the editor.
The whole idea of South Park started by a 2 min project at college which was directed and mainly writen by Trey Parker and Matt Stone who also do most of the voices along with co-perators.
The did cut outs instead of drawing every frame because none of them could actually draw and it was just easier as they sort of worked like puppets.
Dot:
To make this awesome animation they used a nokia phone and a microscope as shes 9mm tall which is absolutely tiny therefore it was hard to film.
A day all they can manage to do is 4 seconds which is insane because it would take them months to do a project with dot worth a minute considering all the little dots they have and how precise they have to be with the background and also the moves.
You cant actually manipulate her as she is so fragile and they also mentioned how you cant make her smaller than that without their heads falling off.
The also change the hair as she runs to make it look more realistic and make it flow.
They did a 1000 frames and they were 3/4 of the way so they werent even done after all those frames.
Peppa Pig:
Peppa Pig was made with the CelAction 2D programme. This is a really high quality programe.
its all made in London and they have about 30 people producing the animation.
They also try to make an animation/week and the have 4teams and 4 animators.
They decided to set on pre school animation and thought of the idea of making an animation out of an animal such as a pig.
And the first thing peppa pig did was step put of her house which was made by Aaron.
To create the first series of Peppa Pig cost them about £1.4 million to make which is fairly cheap compared to stop motion.
They made a 3 minute "trailer" which they did by making a storyboard and a script which they then brought with them to a broadcast to present their idea.
When he said he was going to show some of the first drawings he could find of Peppa i was so surprised by how rough they were and how simple yet the animation itself its really good and well made.

P2. DESIGN AND TARGET AUDIENCE
T.M.N.T - they fit their characters well because they have an athletic body and you have a well built up body as their ninjas whereas in Adventure Time for example its all more about princesses and saving them which explains why this turtle has a crown and long hair whereas in T.M.N.T they have swords.
In Pokemon the turtle is blue, small and round meaning he's good and he's a water pokemon whereas in adventure time and T.M.N.T they're green meaning they belong on the ground. Also i believe the fact that they have made him small and round is for it to appeal cute and sweet as its aimed at children. Also in adventure time, its for children but also for grown ups therefore the design its not as childish.
Whereas Octonauts is for really young children which explains why his facial expression is really simple and he's smiling.
