Year 9 Multimedia

This week, the Year 9 Industrial Technology Multimedia class embarked on an exciting adventure into the world of Claymation; a type of animation that the students have been learning about as a part of their ‘Animation’ topic; within the 3 term long ‘Video Production’ unit. Armed with the skills and feedback gathered from the previous terms, the students eagerly embraced this new medium to push their creative boundaries even further. 

Students were tasked with a challenging timeframe to bring their Claymation visions to life - 80 minutes only. They began by crafting imaginative storylines in pairs and creating their very own clay models, meticulously capturing each movement frame by frame. 

During the lesson, the students not only honed their technical skills in lighting, camera stabilisation and sound effects but also learned the art of patience and persistence. They quickly learned how time consuming animation can be and why time management is going to be a major consideration for their upcoming animation projects. 

We look forward to seeing Year 9 Multimedia students continue to develop their skills in a range of animation forms as well as apply them to their next project.
