0:00:05 > 0:00:07Time to get my ninja on.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08Got my clothes.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26I know. I'll give Sarah a call.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Sorry, I'm a bit busy today, Ricky.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31I could always try my Dad. I'll give him a call.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Hey, Dad.
0:00:33 > 0:00:34HIGH-PITCHED JABBERING
0:00:34 > 0:00:36I was wondering if you'd...
0:00:36 > 0:00:37OK, bye.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I'm starting to feel really alone today.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41There's no-one around.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44SAD VIOLIN MUSIC PLAYS
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Gav, can you cut that out, please? Go and practise somewhere else.
0:00:47 > 0:00:48I thought you were lonely!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52I'm not that lonely!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54I'll go and riff somewhere else then.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Gavin's talents run deep
0:00:58 > 0:01:01and here's a quick art tip that'll add depth to your work.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05I'm going to start by drawing a horizon line.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08And I'm going to draw some little mountains over this side,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10as they're far in the distance.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Maybe some snow on top. And a sun up here.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17The further things are away, the smaller they are, so even though
0:01:17 > 0:01:20the mountains are huge, they're quite small in the distance.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And I'm going to draw some animals just below the horizon line.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26I'm making this sheep quite big at the front of the picture,
0:01:26 > 0:01:29so it appears near to us, and I'm going to draw another sheep
0:01:29 > 0:01:32midway between the first sheep and the mountains.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36As things move backwards, they get closer to the horizon line.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39And I'm going to do some little shrubs of grass.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Bigger at the front,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45getting smaller to the back.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49There. The different-sized objects have given my picture depth.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53There's a quick art tip.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56See what EWE can do.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Ewe, get it? A female sheep.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05This is Bristol Harbour,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08an amazing place full of history.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Many spectacular sea vessels were built and launched here.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13FOGHORN
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Oh, excuse me!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Hey, here's one now!
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Hey, my mistake! It's just an animation.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22An awesome one.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25All you need is stiff plastic or acetate,
0:02:25 > 0:02:29some pens that write on acetate and a phone or tablet.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31# Three of me... #
0:02:31 > 0:02:34There's some really good animation apps you can find online.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Have a little look around, find one you like, find one that's
0:02:36 > 0:02:39highly-rated, and just get used to one and make it your thing.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41My phone's really red! So red!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Here's how to work it in just three ninja moves.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Ninja move number one.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Draw your frames on the acetate.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51So I'm doing a submarine.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Look over at the background,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56just so you can line up where your object's going to appear.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59And then a good thing to do is to colour it in in white
0:02:59 > 0:03:03because then it's opaque and really sticks up against the background.
0:03:03 > 0:03:04Ninja move number two.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I've got lots of pieces of acetate.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Now, I'm not going to use a different piece of acetate
0:03:09 > 0:03:11for every picture, but I am going to use two separate ones.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13The reason we use a couple of bits is
0:03:13 > 0:03:17so you can use your old frame as a guide to start drawing the next one.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21# Pens, pens, pens Drawing on stuff with pens. #
0:03:21 > 0:03:24There we go, so you can see the one from before.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Ninja move number three.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Get your phone out, line it up with the river
0:03:29 > 0:03:32or whatever you're using for it to interact with, and take a snap.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Keep doing your ninja steps.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37So draw the frame of your animation on the acetate,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40take a picture, trace your next frame using the old
0:03:40 > 0:03:42one as a guide, take another picture,
0:03:42 > 0:03:43and repeat.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Keep doing your ninja steps
0:03:45 > 0:03:48until all the frames of your animation are done.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Once you've taken all your frames, using your animation app,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55compile them into a movie.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Compiling...
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Now I think it's time for the big reveal.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04Here comes a submarine. Here we go, it's made berth at Bristol Harbour.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Hang on. What's this?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Oh, a sea monster!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14I'd say that is a mini masterpiece.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Have a go yourself.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Get outside and see what you can do with your awesome acetate animation.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- BOTH:- Ricky! What can you make with this?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32So what have you got for me today?
0:04:32 > 0:04:33A fleece blanket.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Well, it's pretty big and blue, like an ocean.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Gives me an idea. In fact, I've got some fleece laying around.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40I'll just go and grab some.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41I've got some different shapes
0:04:41 > 0:04:44that I've cut out from an old fleece and a bit of felt
0:04:44 > 0:04:47and I'm going to use them to make a protective case for a tablet
0:04:47 > 0:04:49that'll look like it's being eaten by a shark.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I like to call it a TERROR-byte.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Little computer joke for you there.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I've cut two pieces of material the same size as my tablet -
0:04:57 > 0:05:00one rectangular, and one with a curve in the end.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02I'll sew these pieces together later.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Now let's make it look like a shark.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09I'm going to stick down the shark's belly using fabric glue.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Nice one. Like that.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15And then I've got these fins for the side, and these two.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18We're going to put these lighter bits of felt on.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20So do you guys have any pets or anything?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- I'm not saying that a shark's a good pet.- I've got a cat.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26OK, I'm just going to start gluing on the red bit for the mouth.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28And I measured these against the flap at the top
0:05:28 > 0:05:30to make sure they fit.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32And the other bit's going to go there.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Do you guys like doing art?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Yeah. Mostly drawing.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37What kind of things do you like to draw?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Battle scenes, giants and stuff like that.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I like to draw a Viking.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Awesome. A bit like Eric the Red?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I'm just going to stick some teeth on
0:05:49 > 0:05:51cos what's a shark without teeth?
0:05:55 > 0:05:56For the top layer of teeth,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I'm going to put the glue straight on to the mouth,
0:05:58 > 0:06:01so I can get the teeth hanging over the edge nice.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05So the mouth and that's looking pretty good.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06I think it's time to put on a face.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10I've cut out some different shapes here to make some eyes.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12I think this shark should be quite happy, but maybe he's hungry.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16So he's got a mean face on so he can eat the tablet.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Don't worry too much about getting the fabric glue everywhere
0:06:18 > 0:06:20cos it'll just dry out invisible.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Now I'm just going to put on some gills.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Going to start sewing now.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30I've tied a knot in the end so that it won't go all the way through.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32I'm using blanket stitch.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35You go round and you go over again, so you see we've gone
0:06:35 > 0:06:39back on ourselves and back in the same way we did first time round.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41And when you have this loop,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43put our needle back through,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46pointing in the opposite way to the way we were stitching,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48and then we pull it tight.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I've also doubled up the thread,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53so it holds the case together nice and tightly.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Going to sew on these fins.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I'm putting some loops in the last stitch, so I can tie it off.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02All that's left now is the dorsal fin,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04so I just stick that on the back.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07OK, guys, do you want to see it?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Yeah!- Right, here we go.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Rawr!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Awesome!- Wicked!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I think that is APP-solutely brilliant.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21So, guys, what would you give it out of ten?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Four? Just four each?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26No, it's 44!
0:07:26 > 0:07:2944 out of ten! That's not even possible.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31What a great score.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Thanks very much, guys. Cheers for all your help.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Have a good day, yeah? Bye-bye. - Bye.- Bye.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Well, that's covered that one. You can make any animal.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Let your imagination go wild.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Hey, you there!
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Ugh, not him again.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Too busy to shift stubborn stains?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Er, yeah?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57You need Flip Flop Mop!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Here's how you make it.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01First you need an old flip flop,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03and a mop head like this.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Insert the flip-flop into the mop head.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Next, you'll need a needle and thread.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Fold the fabric over the flip-flop and sew
0:08:18 > 0:08:23it into place around the thong part of the aforementioned footwear.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Now repeat the process with the other flip-flop in the pair.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36You will be the proud owner of
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Flip-flop Mops!
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Not available in the shops.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Now go to the website and get your ninja on.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Art ninja!
