0:00:05 > 0:00:07Time to get my ninja on.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08And my clothes.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22BIRD SQUAWKS
0:00:25 > 0:00:28An art ninja is artful but can be digital.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Gavin, what are you doing here?
0:00:34 > 0:00:36I'm playing a new game I downloaded on the phone.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39It's called Grand Turbo Racing Apocalypse 7.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41I don't care what it's called.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44What are you doing in my flat with my phone?
0:00:44 > 0:00:45- Hey!- Give it here.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I could get the super-genius mega-high score.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Don't distract me.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I think I'll have some computer game fun of my own.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Do you know what? What a lovely meal.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59- Thanks for having us over, Seb. - Look, guys, my pleasure.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Yeah, that was really good. Thanks, man.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03You know what, I really, really like these mints.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I just love them so, so much.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07They're my favourite.
0:01:11 > 0:01:16DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:01:17 > 0:01:19That mint is mine!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I'm the guest. I get the mint.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32To make this light-battle animation, you'll need...
0:01:32 > 0:01:33A couple of mates,
0:01:33 > 0:01:37some to act and one to press the shutter.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38A few torches.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Get a range of sizes. Like having different brushes.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43A camera that shoots long exposures.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45A flash.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47And a computer with animation or editing software.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50There are loads of packages you can get free online.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54And you can put it together in just three ninja moves.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Ninja move number one.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58The first thing to do is a little bit of planning.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01So I'm going to do a storyboard. These don't have to be super clear.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04To make it a bit quicker, I'm going to do some stick figures.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I'm going to start with Seb over there.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09And I'm going to have Seb power up his big light energy.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12I'll have Loz do the same thing. Then I'm going to cut back
0:02:12 > 0:02:15and forward between the two of them to sort of build up some suspense.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Then they're going to shoot the light across
0:02:18 > 0:02:21that way. And Seb's going to shoot it that way.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24They're going to join in the middle and then kaboom!
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Time to get on with it.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Ninja move number two.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29It's time to start shooting.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32This animation uses a technique you might recognise
0:02:32 > 0:02:34called light painting.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35And here's how it works.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38'You set your camera to shoot long exposure.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41'Now it's time to turn the lights down low or off.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44'Take a photo by holding down the shutter.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45'You draw your picture with torches.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48'The torchlight leaves a trail on the final picture.'
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Also, I'm using a flash so my models don't come out blurry.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Yeeeeah!
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Hiyahh!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Ninja move number three.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11And finally, it's time to do some editing.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Well, I think it's time to take a look at our mini masterpiece.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31ELECTRICITY CRACKLES
0:03:40 > 0:03:43KNOCKING ON DOOR
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Gavin, you're not still playing that game, are you?
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Must get...game genius super-mega high score.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Repeat. Must get game genius super-mega high score.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57He's turned into a game zombie.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I must try and snap him out of it.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06HE GROWLS
0:04:12 > 0:04:14It's Gavin's skateboard.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20'Hi, Ricky. It's Dodge and Hacker here.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24'How do? Now, Ricky, can you make something out of this?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26'Coconut man.'
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Ugh, sorry, not this time, Hacker.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29- 'Oh.- Unbelievable.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- 'You call yourself an artist. Huh.- Ninja.'
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Hey. What have these guys got?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38'Ricky, can you make owt with a straw?'
0:04:38 > 0:04:40That's more like it. I choose you.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42THEY CHEER
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- So what are your names? - 'I'm Poppy.- I'm Rose.'
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Nice to meet you, Poppy and Rose. Where are you from?
0:04:48 > 0:04:49- 'Sunderland.- Yeah.'
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Awesome. Art with a straw...
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I think I'm going to use a straw to make art that's out of this world.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Just let me get my things.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02And I'm going to start by drawing a little window on this paper.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03Because I'm going to make a rocket.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Nice little space porthole.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Going to colour it in blue.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- I think it's kind of cool inside a spaceship.- 'Yeah.'
0:05:12 > 0:05:14So that's what I'm going to go for.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Then with this tissue paper, I'm going to create some flames
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- so it looks like the rocket's really blasting off.- 'Cool.'
0:05:21 > 0:05:22When I've made this rocket,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25it's going to end up being a game that you guys can play.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29You could both make rockets and maybe have a little space-race game.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I've folded up this bit of tissue paper and I'm going to basically
0:05:32 > 0:05:36cut a shape into it so that when I unravel it, it looks like flames.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I'm just going to fold up this other bit of tissue paper.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Guys, what do you think's faster?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46A ninja or a rocket?
0:05:46 > 0:05:47- 'A rocket.- Yeah.'
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Oh.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Flames there. I could really do with some sticky tape, actually.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Do you guys have any? - 'Yeah.- Yes.'
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I could grab it using ninja skills.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Ninja skills.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Right, turn it over. I'm going to stick the yellow bit down first.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06This is going to make it look like the rocket's going super fast.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I'm just going to roll round this piece of paper
0:06:09 > 0:06:10and sticky tape it together.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13This is going to make the body of the rocket.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Just going to cut a couple of slots into the top of
0:06:18 > 0:06:22my rocket. That's going to help me stick it to the nose cone.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23I've just drawn round a plate
0:06:23 > 0:06:26and cut out a very thin piece of card here.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Then I'm going to cut a quarter out of it to make my nose cone.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I'm just going to roll that cone around like that.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Then I'm going to stick it down with some sticky tape.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Voila! THEY LAUGH
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I'll put some sticky tape on the inside of my rocket.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Just so the cone will stick to it nicely.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Slide the nose cone on.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55And I've got my hand inside to push all the sticky tape out.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Right. I think the rocket could do with some fins
0:06:59 > 0:07:02that stick out the side, you know. Help it's aerodynamic-ness.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04I'm going to draw a couple of fins on here.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Cut those out.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- So, do you guys like doing art? BOTH:- 'Yeah.'
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Have you got any pictures there you've done?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18'One that I did when I was younger. A lot younger.'
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- I like it. - 'It's my mum's friend's dog.'
0:07:20 > 0:07:22It looks awesome.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24I'm just folding the edges of the fins over
0:07:24 > 0:07:27so I can sticky tape them to the side of my rocket now.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I'm now going to take a trusty straw
0:07:34 > 0:07:37and I'm going to stick it along the back of the rocket.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I bet you guys were wondering where the straw was going to come in.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41'Yeah.'
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Here you go. The rocket's pretty much done.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- What do you think?- 'It's cool.'
0:07:46 > 0:07:49It's going to be even better when it's flying through the air.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50That's why I have some cotton here.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53And this will work like the rail that the rocket shoots along.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56I'll be right back - just going to go and tie it off.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58There you go, tied it off.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00And I need to thread this through the straw.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02It's easier if you tie it to something heavy.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I'll use a cocktail stick in this case,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06just to pull the cotton through.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08'I've already tied the other end of this cotton
0:08:08 > 0:08:10'to something on the other side of the room.'
0:08:10 > 0:08:13That's the rail that it's going to fly along.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Rockets need an engine, and I'm going to be using a balloon.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23OK, think it's ready to fly.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Hey, here we go...
0:08:26 > 0:08:28BALLOON RASPS
0:08:28 > 0:08:29# Sky-high
0:08:29 > 0:08:31# I'm, I'm sky-high... #
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yeah! It worked!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- BOTH:- 'Yeah!'- What would you guys give it out of ten?
0:08:36 > 0:08:37- BOTH:- 'We give it a ten!'
0:08:37 > 0:08:40That's for your suggestion, it's been brilliant.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41- Bye-bye! BOTH:- 'Bye!'
0:08:42 > 0:08:45'Try making two of them and race against your friends.'
0:08:49 > 0:08:52'Now go to the website and get your ninja on.'
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Art Ninja.
