0:00:05 > 0:00:07It's a new day.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09I'd better get my ninja on.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10And my clothes!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22STRONG WIND BLOWS
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Other than being an art ninja, I've always wanted to be a superhero,
0:00:31 > 0:00:32so I thought I'd try making one.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- BOTH:- Ricky, Ricky, Ricky!
0:00:36 > 0:00:37It's the ninja apprentices!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Ricky, can you make art with a fan?
0:00:40 > 0:00:42I'll make art with anybody, they don't have to be a fan.
0:00:42 > 0:00:43- BOTH:- Oh!
0:00:45 > 0:00:46Hi, Ricky!
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Hey, it's Isabel Clifton from Hetty Feather.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52I was thinking, what could Ricky make out of this bunch of keys?
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Not much, I'm afraid.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Hey, what have these guys got?
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Ricky, can you make art out of a soap bottle?
0:00:59 > 0:01:00All right, I choose you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03- BOTH:- Yay!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- So, what are your names? - I'm Rahisa.- And I'm Aniya.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07So, where are you from?
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- BOTH:- Manchester.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Well, it's a great suggestion. I'll just go and grab my things.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15So I've got some paints there.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17A milk bottle.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Kitchen roll.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Some modelling clay.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Some special bits I'll come to later and, of course,
0:01:22 > 0:01:23a trusty soap bottle.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Now, I'm going to turn this into a superhero. Or should I say...
0:01:27 > 0:01:30A soap-erhero?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Right, take this bit off. Won't be needing that.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to carefully
0:01:35 > 0:01:36cut into the milk bottle.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Now, you might need some help at home because it's quite tricky,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and you need to be safe with scissors because I need this handle.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Don't need this bit.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53I'm cutting right at the bottom of the handle on one end...
0:01:53 > 0:01:57then leaving two bigger pieces of plastic on the other.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Here we go, just tidy this bit up.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01This is going to be an arm for my soap bottle.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I'm going to need two of these, so I just ninja another.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05- BOTH:- Wow!
0:02:05 > 0:02:07OK, I'm going to hold them to the
0:02:07 > 0:02:09side of my bottle with some masking tape.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11So, do you guys like to do art?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14I like to draw cats. I'm quite good at drawing cats.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17So did you by any chance design Aniya's T-shirt?
0:02:17 > 0:02:18THEY GIGGLE
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- No.- No?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Right, now I'm going to stick a pencil
0:02:23 > 0:02:25to the back of my soap bottle.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I'm just going to cover it in masking tape.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32It kind of works like a quick papier mache.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35It means that my paint will take to it better.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Going to make myself a stand now by cutting off 3cm
0:02:39 > 0:02:40of my kitchen roll tube.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42There we go.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45And then, using some modelling clay, I'm going to take a little
0:02:45 > 0:02:48pinch of it off because I'm going to use that for the hands.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And the rest, I'm going to stuff inside this little short cylinder.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I'm just adding these little bits of clay to the ends of the arms,
0:02:56 > 0:02:57just to smooth them off.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Now I'm going to stick the pencil into the stand.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Perfect.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04So, I know it doesn't look like much yet.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06How can I make it look more like a superhero?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Add some bright colours, like red, yellow.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I'm going to take that as a cue to mix the two together
0:03:12 > 0:03:14because I've got some orange paint here.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16And I've mixed my paint with a bit of PVA glue,
0:03:16 > 0:03:19just to thicken it up, so it sticks nicely to the bottle.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22So my friend Sarah's managed to make herself invisible.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25If you were invisible, what would you do?
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Sneak up on people and...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28scare them.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I love making people jump. Awesome.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34So what I'm doing here is I'm blending the lighter colour orange
0:03:34 > 0:03:36into the darker colour orange round the edges.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38That's just to give it a nicer finish.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42OK, now I'm going to move on to do the arms.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I want some good colour contrast, so I'm going to do those black.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Right, I'm going to paint the stand.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50I'm just painting the base now.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53By the way, if you are painting at home, like this,
0:03:53 > 0:03:57I'd suggest putting some newspaper down to protect the top.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00OK guys, I would have to wait for that to dry or you guys could
0:04:00 > 0:04:01give me a hand with some ninja skills.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02What do you want to do?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Ninja skills.- Yeah?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07OK, go for it. THEY BLOW
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Oh, yeah, great ninja skills. Perfectly dry!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Now I'm going to add the lid for my head
0:04:13 > 0:04:15and a couple of finishing touches that really turns
0:04:15 > 0:04:16it into a superhero.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20For that I've got a cape, which I've just cut out of some coloured paper.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I'm attaching it with a couple of pieces of double-sided sticky tape.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Got a special little utility belt,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28where this hero keeps all of his gadgets
0:04:28 > 0:04:30and also stops his trousers from falling down.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33And finally, the chest emblem.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Mine's an R for Radman.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- So are you guys ready to see it? BOTH:- Yeah.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Check it out!
0:04:42 > 0:04:43- BOTH:- Wow!
0:04:43 > 0:04:45It's amazing.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Do you want to see its secret power?- Yes.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51This superhero also has the ability
0:04:51 > 0:04:53to look after your jewellery.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Pretty sweet.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57So it's a special little jewellery tidy.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- That's good. - What would you guys rate it?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- BOTH:- We give it this!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Oh, I can't see anything.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06It's a ten. We wrote it with invisible ink.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Ah! Check them out!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Nice one. Thanks, guys, bye-bye!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- BOTH:- Bye, Ricky!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Dad always said he wished his superpower was to fly,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27so I made it happen.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Gavin's left his spy box of tricks behind.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I wonder what else is inside.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Ejector seat spray. I'll give it a go.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38HE SPRAYS
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Hmm, doesn't work.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Hi, Ricky. I'll just take a seat.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49AH!
0:05:49 > 0:05:50CRASH!
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Powerful stuff.
0:05:54 > 0:06:00JAMES BOND TRIUMPHANT THEME
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Sometimes it's like this picture follows me around the room.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06That's because it's animated.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09That was when we did the art with vacuum cleaners.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- That didn't suck.- Nah.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13That's when me and Gavin wore the same thing.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15What's this?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Oh, that's the one from the future, where we transformed into robots.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19What?!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22ROBOT NOISES
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- What was that?- Don't worry, mate, it's just an animation.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Oh, and it had loads of this...
0:06:28 > 0:06:29ROBOT NOISES
0:06:29 > 0:06:30No, no, it's more like this...
0:06:30 > 0:06:32ROBOT NOISES
0:06:32 > 0:06:35So, to make this cool robot animation, you'll need...
0:06:35 > 0:06:36A photo of your friends,
0:06:36 > 0:06:37some paint, or some correction fluid,
0:06:37 > 0:06:41some pens, a tablet or smartphone with animation app.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44And you can put it together in just three ninja moves.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Ninja move number one.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47You need to take a picture of you and your friend,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50so I'm going to set it to timer.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Strike a robo-pose!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Sweet. Now we need to print it out.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Ninja move number two.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03One of the good things to do is to stick down your picture
0:07:03 > 0:07:05because you don't want it to move.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Now I can start animating.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09I want the separate robot parts to come in one after the other
0:07:09 > 0:07:12because if they all come in at once, you don't get much of a cool effect.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15But if they come in gradually, it looks way more epic.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I'm using correction fluid, just because it dries quicker.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19It means I can draw on it straight away.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Start by taking the first frame.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Right, I think I'm going to start with mine and Richard's waist.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28And have the pieces sort of slide round, like that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Now, with just a normal rollerball,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I'll start putting in a bit of detail.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33You can sharp up the lines
0:07:33 > 0:07:36because it kind of scratches away where it's a little bit loose.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Doesn't matter if it's rough because it's going to happen SO quick.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Right, take my second frame.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44And now we can just paint over the top of that again with
0:07:44 > 0:07:45the correction fluid.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I'm just repeating this over and over again
0:07:49 > 0:07:50until we're all armoured up.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Take a frame every time you add more detail.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Let your imagination go wild
0:07:57 > 0:07:59with whatever outfits you want to wear.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Ninja move number three.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I've shot all my frames on my tablet device,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08but now to add something extra cool and do some sound effects.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Just try and find some interesting stuff from around the house
0:08:11 > 0:08:14that you can record to make cool sound effects.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15So I've got all my frames shot,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I've added some really cool sound effects that I recorded myself.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I think it's time to take a look at our mini masterpiece.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24ROBOT NOISES
0:08:26 > 0:08:27PEW!
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Oh, yes. What do you think, Rich? I think it's pretty good.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Yep, but is it as good as this?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36ROBOT NOISES
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Now, go the website and get your ninja on!
0:08:46 > 0:08:47Art ninja!
