characters

The medical soldiers that I copied were from a toy soldier look like this was the best copier could fine to use of a WWI accurate medical personnel debt fit the part perfectly in my infographic peace so then I traced over it to make a abstract peace the diadem could move around or manipulate to make multiple characters that more than fit the part I needed them to play. I chose some dead bodies from a beach photo of some dead bodies on a beach that I would use later in Multiple scenes as my general dead bodies as I had a lot of scenes that required bodies lying about on the battlefield or just around the as I had a lot of scenes that required bodies lying about on the battlefield or just around the camp as casualties of War or casualties of the flu   The two civilians I took from a photo that was taken during the World War of several men and shows two of them of different stitches and different builds so I could have a somewhat arrange of civilians that looked similar...

German and British soldiers

Image
During my research I found that I needed two types of soldiers the German and British soldiers as a standard use for the central powers and the allied forces so I used to copies of each soldier and made my pieces then changed the British soldier to how I needed it making another version that could sit down and hold a letter not just a gun

telegram

Image
My telegram started off as a postcard that was then before a letter but due to the fact that the handwriting of that time was a joined up San serif style of writing it made the Script illegible and unusable Suit internet to rectify this I chose to use a telegram model to use in place for my postcard/ letter the whole point of having the letter as the moving cards in between each seem was to reinforce the idea of the film to be a silent era type film I found that doing this added to the authenticity of the peace and made the telegrams look like part of the scene with no form of problems I even found that the telegrams worked better than having the letters as it allowed a story to be put in with the facts and infographic material

camp

Image
After doing research into medical centres in WWI, blood centres and the camps that were used during the Spanish flu that killed a lot of the soldiers I found the perfect camp and one of my backgrounds the start using for my project after seeing that I can use the camps no problems I then traced over and did a abstract copy of the camp as in in some of my own details and filling in some of the details that were not in the photo so I can have a complete picture to use for my 1 minute piece.

base image

Image
All the photos above I used as my base photos to make my abstract animation pieces as I was basing my animation stile on a 2.5 D animation.

Music

Image
I chose the style of music to be silent film piano but in a dark ominous fashion so I could have the right mood set for my peace and the right feel for my peace I also chose this style of music as that was what was been used in cinema at the time

toyToy Soldiers

Image
All attempt at using Toy Soldiers for a stop animation peace did not go as planned as they looked like a joke piece or part of a Pixar Animation that did not suit the subject matter I have so I discarded said idea and changed my idea to be a loose 2.5 d animation.

Chemical weapons in World War I

Image
1914: Tear gas The earliest military uses of chemicals were  tear-inducing irritants  rather than fatal or disabling poisons. During  World War I , the French army was the first to employ gas, using 26 mm  grenades  filled with tear gas ( ethyl bromoacetate ) in August 1914. The small quantities of gas delivered, roughly 19 cm³ per cartridge, were not even detected by the Germans. The stocks were rapidly consumed and by November a new order was placed by the French military. As  bromine  was scarce among the Entente allies, the active ingredient was changed to  chloroacetone . [7] In October 1914, German troops fired   fragmentation   shells   filled with a chemical irritant against British positions at   Neuve Chapelle , though the concentration achieved was so small that it too was barely noticed. [8]   None of the combatants considered the use of tear gas to be in conflict with the Hague Treaty of 1899, w...

Medical innovation in World War One The wounds inflicted on millions of soldiers drov e the development of new medical techniques and inventions. Giving and storing blood The British Army began the routine use of blood transfusion in treating wounded soldiers. Blood was transferred directly from one person to another. But it was a US Army doctor, Captain Oswald Robertson, who realised the need to stockpile blood before casualties arrived. He established the first blood bank on the Western Front in 1917, using sodium citrate to prevent the blood from coagulating and becoming unusable. Blood was kept on ice for up to 28 days and then transported to casualty clearing stations for use in life-saving surgery where it was needed most. Technological innovation Innovations developed in the First World War had a massive impact on survival rates – such as the Thomas splint, named after pioneering Welsh surgeon Hugh Owen Thomas, which secured a broken leg. At the beginning of the war 80% ...
