My Stop Motion Animation Project

W.A.L.T- We are learning to make a stop animation that describes a message about the media.

For media studies our job was to portray a message about the media by creating a poster then turning it into a stop motion animation. My first message was `Always Plugged In?` and created that as a poster and animation with my partner Amelia, she was very helpful.

Here is the picture of my poster and my plan for my animation.

My next animation was about saving the tree's/`Stop Using Online Media` 

Here is the picture of the props and drawings I did to make the animation.

Over all I really enjoyed Media studies and doing the animation's and posters, though cutting out the props for the animation was hard as well as making the animation a smooth as possible.

I hoped you enjoyed! Be sure check out the rest of my blog and feel free to leave feedback!

The Quagga

Quagga

The Quagga was a plains zebra that lived in South Africa until it became extinct in the late 19th century. It was led to believe that it was a distinct species, but early genetic studies showed that it was a subspecies of the plains zebra. It became extinct due to ‘ruthless’ hunting/poaching, some people even called it a ‘planned extermination’ 

       The Quagga was mainly found living at south of the Orange River in grasslands and shrublands where they would thrive eating short grass, leaves, bark, roots and stem, therefore being grazers. 

       It was confirmed that quaggas were more like zebras than horses, with the quagga and mountain zebra sharing an ancestor 3-4 million years ago. Quaggas were 257cm long and 125-135cm tall at the shoulder. Its coat pattern was unique from other equids. It was more like a zebra in the front and like a horse in the rear. The Quaggas had brown and white stripes on the head and neck and a white belly, tail and legs. Stripes were boldest from the head and neck then gradually became fainter further down the body blending into a reddish brown. It also had a broad dark brown dorsal stripe on its back and a standing mane and tail with brown and white stripes. 

      Little is known about Quaggas behaviour, but it may have gathered into herds of 30-50. Quaggas have said to have lived widely and freely, yet considered to be more docile than Burchell's Zebra.
