0:00:05 > 0:00:07Time to get my Ninja on.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08And my clothes.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25KNOCK ON DOOR
0:00:28 > 0:00:30- Oh, hi, Dad.- Hi, Ricky. - What have you got there?
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Been clearing out the attic at home.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34There's loads of your rubbish up there.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36One of your old robots in there
0:00:36 > 0:00:38and you used to love this, your old pogo stick.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40- I must give that a go.- Must go.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44- Bye, Dad.- Or should that be POGO? - Bye, Dad.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Hey, cotton buds. I wonder what these are for?
0:00:47 > 0:00:49I know, I could use them
0:00:49 > 0:00:52to make a painting of this robot made up of tiny dots.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Just grab some paper
0:00:55 > 0:00:59and I'm going to draw myself a couple of guidelines before I start.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm drawing my robot, but you can do anything.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07That's my outline done.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Now I'm going to use the cotton buds to make the points on my picture.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15I'm going to start putting silver around the robot's head.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18This technique is called Pointillism
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and is often associated with the artist Georges Seurat.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26You find that the more you use the cotton buds, the bigger the end gets
0:01:26 > 0:01:29and it is hard to get a nice, defined dot,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32but the great thing about cotton buds is that you can turn it around
0:01:32 > 0:01:34and you've got another end you can use.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40I think that is enough with the silver, let's move on to some red.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46He has got red outline through his eyes so we'll do those first.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52I can't believe Dad brought more stuff round, when I've just finished
0:01:52 > 0:01:57cleaning up the flat. Still, I think it is going to make a tidy picture.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Right, let's add some nice yellow in there.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04I wonder what Robot would say about this picture?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Probably - - HE BEEPS LIKE A ROBOT
0:02:08 > 0:02:09Or something like that.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16It's time to come together now.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I'm going to add a little bit more silver on the top.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Now I'm going to mix a little bit of black and silver together,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24to get a dark silver, to do some shadows and some worn areas.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Adds a little bit of texture and depth.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35There we are.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I'd say that is finished.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38And it looks awesome.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Just going to put a frame on it.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46The robot pointillism picture.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- IN ROBOT VOICE:- You could make one too.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I really do love a good walk around Bristol.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03The beautiful colours, there is lots of variation in the landscape
0:03:03 > 0:03:10and there is always something going on. Just look at that over there.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14HEN CLUCKS
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Good grief, that got out of hand pretty quickly.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18This kind of animation is called cutter animation
0:03:18 > 0:03:20and it is really easy to do.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23If you do it using photographs, it gives off this really surreal sense
0:03:23 > 0:03:25and is always really funny.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26I will show you how to do it.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29All you need to make a little rad cut-out animation is -
0:03:29 > 0:03:32some postcards or photographs, here are some I have taken,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35a pair of scissors and a tablet or Smartphone.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38There is lots of free animation software you can find online
0:03:38 > 0:03:42and you can make this animation in just three Ninja Moves.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Ninja Move No 1.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Get yourselves some photographs. You might go and take some
0:03:46 > 0:03:49or if you've got any old postcards, they're pretty good too.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I've got some here from when I visited my friend's chicken farm,
0:03:52 > 0:03:53when I went to the beach,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56there is one of my friend Gemma in there and of course,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59what I am going to use as the main scene is this picture of Bristol
0:03:59 > 0:04:02that I took cos it's got the river in it and a bit of depth,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04so maybe got some places where things can pop out.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Ninja Move No 2.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Decide what's going to happen in your animation
0:04:08 > 0:04:09and then get all the bits ready.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12So I'm going to be cutting out these separate parts here
0:04:12 > 0:04:15and what I am actually going to do on this one is cut out the sky.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I've got a spare bit of blue paper here which is going to replace it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22It will be a lot easier to have things popping out underneath
0:04:22 > 0:04:23as a different layer.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I have got another tower. I'm going to cut that one out.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28If I pop this in where the other one used to be,
0:04:28 > 0:04:30because it is like a separate layer, I can animate this, going...
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- HE MAKES ROCKET NOISES - ..out from behind the trees.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34It is quite fun to mess around with scale
0:04:34 > 0:04:37when you are doing these things, makes it a lot weirder.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41You put something out of place but also it is giant or really small.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43HE CLUCKS LIKE A HEN
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- That's a good-looking chicken. - HEN CLUCKS
0:04:46 > 0:04:49I might keep this bit here because I could use all these nice stony,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52sort of orangey colours as the fire for the rocket.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I could use that black and white as the smoke for the rocket.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56This bit is perfect.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00And I could use the back as a bit of white for her flash.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Ninja Move No 3.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Get animating.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Time to open up my animation app.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10It has begun.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12The first thing I'm going to have is a person popping out here
0:05:12 > 0:05:14and taking a picture.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16So I am cutting this line along where the buildings are
0:05:16 > 0:05:20so it looks like she is coming up between the trees and the buildings.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Now what I am doing here is I am making the character wiggle
0:05:23 > 0:05:25a little bit and that is to give the illusion
0:05:25 > 0:05:28that they're like maybe talking. "Hello."
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Don't worry about making mouths move, I think in this style,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32the cruder, the better.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Every time you move a bit of paper, take a photo.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37You are building your animation.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47OK, that's all the frames. I'm going to add some sound effects.
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Hello. Snap! - HE MAKES SOUNDS OF A ROCKET
0:05:51 > 0:05:53HE CLUCKS LIKE A HEN
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Now it is ready for the big reveal.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Hello. - SOUNDS OF ROCKET BLASTING OFF
0:06:04 > 0:06:06HEN CLUCKS
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Here is a real quick art tip, how to make a rocket blast off into space.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13To discover maybe some extraterrestrial business.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15So I'm going to start with the rocket.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18The shape there like that with a nice point on the end.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And then some wings at the back.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28An exhaust.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Nice line there on the tip.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34And we need to draw the passenger in the middle.
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Now to make my rocket blast off,
0:06:35 > 0:06:39I am going to put fire using these zigzag lines
0:06:39 > 0:06:41and some smoke, trailing behind.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Now I am going to add a couple of action lines around it
0:06:47 > 0:06:48and show its energy.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51And then of course, he is in space, so I'm going to add some
0:06:51 > 0:06:55space surroundings and that is a nice planet here and stars.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00There you go.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01A quick art tip.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10HE BURPS
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Hey, you there!
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Not this guy again.- It's me again.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20How would you like a product that has been
0:07:20 > 0:07:24developed by the International Space Agency?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28HE's been developed by the International Space Agency.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31YOU can create your own alien glue.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Told you.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Here is how you make it.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41You need a bowl of cornflour.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45A jug of water.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Add a small amount to the bowl.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Grab some poster paint.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Green is very now for aliens.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58Squeeze some paint into the bowl, other colours are available.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Stir vigorously.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Keep stirring and adding water gradually to get the right
0:08:05 > 0:08:07gloopy consistency.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It has a strange intergalactic feel.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18It can snap and dribble through your fingers.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Freaky!
0:08:20 > 0:08:25Alien glue, a great substitute for green bogeymen.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Beam me up, Snotty!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Now go to the website and get your ninja on.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Art Ninja!
