My animation project

this project has changed a lot and i cannot believe how much work actually needs to go into this. its not longer based on the st. crispins day speech i decided to take more or a comiical approach. i drew out all of the scenes and loaded them individually into photoshop where i learned how to use the animation tool which is really awesome. it got easier as i went along, i noticed that a lot of my scenes were based of the same templat, well background. i was able to just superimpose the necessary parts to change the scene. unfortunaltely i was unable to perfom some of the tasks that i thought i could. it turns out what i was trying to do is not offered in photoshop. nevertheless i am excited about the content of the piece which i will go over after the critique.

my poetry project is on a famous shakespeare monologue from his play Henry V. this speech is one that has appeared in movies and is probably one of the most uplifting speeches, i feel in all of poetry. i plan on using a rhotoscoping technique to characterize all of my images. i was also thinking about incorperating street art by way of stop motion animation to portray some of the play. As in, i would paint on a wall for instance all of the frames i would use.

Saint Crispin's Day Speechfrom Henry V by William Shakespeare

Saint Crispin's Day Speechfrom Henry V by William Shakespeare
This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day
