Stop your motion-Art Hurumanu

For the past 8 weeks we have been working to make a movie. You could use a whiteboard to draw or clay to construct the movie my team chose to use clay. My team was Levi,Miguel,Jrae and me.

The steps to do this were find out our topic for our movie making it was Manaakitanga.
Think of an idea of how to show this in our movie.
We then started working on making our clay models and painting backgrounds.
After a while we started to record the stopmotion.
After hours of work we were able to record the voice over for the stopmotion.

Although our stopmotion was short it took a lot of time but I think the end product was worth it.

This is a quick little story I made about what I enjoyed about this Hurumanu.

What we did: We learnt about art and different types of it before making art. We made our art through stopmotion and made a short movie. This movie showed an act of manaakitanga. We had 2 ways of making it, either drawing this on a whiteboard or making clay models. My group (Levi, Miguel, Jrae and Me) chose to use the clay. We then made the clay characters painted the backgrounds and made the movie with a voice over.

What I learned: I learnt the different steps on how to make a short movie and how frustrating it can be. Also thinking of ideas that go with the theme manaakitanga was hard.

What I enjoyed: I enjoyed a lot of this hurumanu. Listening to the wild ideas that others have and trying to make these different characters come to life. Although trying to make them come to life was difficult is was interesting and something new to me.

What I found difficult: Making the clay models was the hardest part of this. Trying to make the stay together and stand was really hard to do. The end product was worth it but while making it was something hard to do. Trying to remember the theme of our movie was hard to keep in mind while making the characters but was sometimes do able.

Here is our finished stopmotion
