We decided between us to redo our stop motion piece and use our first one as a practice piece.
We started from scratch and planned to use a larger variety of shots throughout, as well as add more aspects to our story, despite how simple the story is, many couldn't grasp the concept of a blob eating someone in our first showing.
To do this we gave the blob more character. We began with him literally sitting still then coming to life. We gave it eyes and at times a little mouth so as to portray a level of emotion and character to it.
We decided we'd record some custom audio for the animation. I didn't want too much dialog as the animation is very short and dialog may be distracting or seem out of place. Instead we agreed on using single sounds such as a "Hmm".

Animation - Computer Generated - Final version
After finishing my second attempt at this animation I decided I wanted to include more "dynamic" cameras, and I needed to slow some of my shots down a little. My animation ran smoothly and all of the action was visable, but the cuts of shots left no frames between action as I hadn't taken that into consideration when I'd planned out my frames.
As such I started over keeping my set and introducing the water shader I had created. The water shader unfortunately didn't animate well at all, so it was removed.
I decided to add a few new shots to create a lengthier piece, and hopefully build a some tenstion between actions.
I tried to smooth out certain pieces of movement so as to look a little more professional, and hope this can be seen throughout the piece.

Animation - Computer Generated - Version 2
I've redone my animation now and got the kind of feeling I was going for, however some parts run through a little quicker than I'd originally planned. With this in mind I very well may go ahead and try a third and final version of the animation, especially seeing as I've learnt how to create a water effect which I can animate:
With this at my disposal, I feel it would be a shame not to feature it in some part of my animation, if not just to show off some of the skills I've learned throughout the project.
This is the second version of my animation:
