To start, Mr. Edward explained what animation is all about, by showing a video of how stop motion animation was done for the Disney classic \u2018A nightmare before Christmas\u2019.&nbsp; Then we opened the program called Synfig studio and the students learnt how to use it, by a simple animation involving moving a red ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subsequently, we designed our main character on paper and labelled all the parts of the character. Afterwards, we planned the animation with the aid of a story board of six slides which was very similar to a comic strip.&nbsp; Then, we got working on our computers by constructing the main character built out of simple shapes and a few colours, and made to be similar to the one in our design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we brought the character to life by animating it.&nbsp; We also had to add extra elements, such as the background and a clipart. The students\u2019 work was impressive and we really enjoyed these lessons.&nbsp; It is a good way to learn how to animate.&nbsp; We imagine that this could help in a possible future job such as game development, media, or the movie industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"304\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 640 \/ 304;\" width=\"640\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/330466082_6548072411871041_230852002198660194_n.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"304\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 640 \/ 304;\" width=\"640\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/330461397_5873422506073846_1749453078945420818_n.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"304\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 640 \/ 304;\" width=\"640\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/330456191_5797630877018315_1134436850596368405_n.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"304\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 640 \/ 304;\" width=\"640\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/330456704_6316007641752252_8120894591551896556_n.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"640\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 304 \/ 640;\" width=\"304\" controls src=\"https:\/\/www.maltaseminary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/330453032_6742056935810088_5775353178518667078_n.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>contributed by the Zach Attard, Samwel Attard, Ethan Grech, Matthias Muscat The year 8 students were tasked to create an animation for the C3 subject they are studying during the ICT lesson.
