Scooby-Doo


Scooby-Doo is an American animated cartoon franchise, comprising several animated television series produced from 1969 to the present day.

Creator: Joe Ruby

Development

In 1968, parent-run organizations, most notably Action for Children's Television (ACT), began vocally protesting what they perceived as an excessive amount of violence in Saturday morning cartoons during the mid-to-late 1960s. Most of these shows were Hanna-Barbera action cartoons such as Jonny QuestSpace Ghost and The Herculoids, and virtually all of them were canceled by 1969 because of pressure from the parent groups. Members of these watchgroups served as advisers to Hanna-Barbera and other animation studios to ensure that their new programs would be safe for children.

    This is the first stop motion video made in pixilation. in the video it shows two neighbours fighting over a flower.

    Our stop motion video


    This type of animation is called pixilation.

    To make this we used was IStopMotion. what it is is photos been took every second or less and they are all put together to make the illustion of it moving.

    Persistance of vision is when a sequence of photos put together to make a video. how this works is a photo has been took and then another one is took but the image has slightly changed. if every photo is slowly changing then when they are all put together it will make it look asif its moving.
