The Waving Animation
This was Monster’s first go at creating a figure and making a movie with the figure moving. We discussed how to make the figure so it would be able to stand up (it didn’t 
you can see on the finished movie how it fell a couple of times and had to be re- stood up) and how to ensure the arm would be strong enough to be moved without falling off. He made it as a whole piece of plasticine rather than a body with affixed arms which made it more stable.
He designed and made the background. We learnt from the finished movie that in future backgrounds need to be brighter, deeper, more solid colours to show up and that smaller details do not show up as well as the bigger, bolder ones.
Monster moved the character between each shot and told me when to take each picture.
The finished movie can be viewed here.
Hi Monster, I loved that film, it was really cool. Can’t wait to see some more fantastic movies from Monster Movies.
