SLJ Step It Up: Stick Figure Fun

Today, I did a task in which I made an animation with stick man drawings.

First, I watched a video of someone making an animation of stick figures.

Second, I used google slides to make my animation in which I moved a stick man to look like it was running and putting the basketball in the hoop. 

In the first slide, I used the shapes and line tool to make the stickman, hoop and ball. 

I copied and pasted my slides and moved the stickman a little bit so that it looks like it is moving. 

Next, I checked my animation to correct my mistakes and add more detail.

Lastly, I embedded my google presentation as an animation on my blog so that people can see it. 

I learnt that animation is a way of making a movie from many still images.

An interesting fact is that for 3D animations, objects are built on the computer monitor and 3D figures are rigged with a virtual skeleton.

I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey task because it reminded me of my favourite Youtuber Jaiden Animations who makes animation videos on her life.

    My name is Zana and I am a blog commenter from the summer learning journey.

    I think you did a great job introducing this activity and explaining the step by step process you used to create your animation and it is an awesome animation of your stick figure playing basketball.

    Is basketball something you are interested in? I played basketball for a while in highschool and loved it but unfortunately I am a bit short to do any cool dunks.

    Keep up the good work and I hope to see more of your posts during the Summer Learning Journey!!

    1. Kia ora Zana,

      Thank you for commenting on my blog post and the feedback too.
      I like playing basketball sometimes but I like cricket the most.
      Yes, I am short too and it is very hard to do dunks in basketball with a small height.
      Do you like to play any other sports in summer?
      And do you watch some animations?

      Thank you so much!
      I am looking forward to your reply.

  2. ​​Kia ora Sahil,

    It’s Fiona from the Manaiakalani team. It is great to see you having a go at this stick man slide animation.

    I think you have done a great job of explaining the task and the process you went through to create and share your animation. I like the way your animation tells the story of the stickman getting a basket. How did you decide on this theme?

    I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed working on this task. I’m looking forward to seeing more great mahi from you during the summer learning journey.

    Ngā mihi,
    Fiona Waugh

      I thought of doing a basketball animation because I watched an anime on netflix that was about basketball players. I also like playing basketball sometimes.
      Do you watch some animations? If yes, what is your favourite one?

      Thank you so much!
      I am looking forward to your reply.
