Final

I don't like this because I dont' think it looks very good, mainly because the pictures got muddled up so I had to guess which order they went in, which results in this now looking really poor. I also had to rush doing this stop motion as I left it till last minute because I didn't have any ideas.

Stop Motion Umbrella

I started off by setting up the tripod and Canon 5D camera. 

T-SHIRT WAR!! (stop-motion music video)

This is one of my favourites as i think it is just genius and the faces that the people full are humorous, which i think adds more characters to the video. The sound effects go soo well and its all in good sync which makes the videe even better. Doing this would cost a lost of money for the prints on the shirts but drawing onto them would also work but not as effectively.

DEADLINE post-it stop motion

Now this is a lot of post it notes!
I imagine it took a large amount of time, so creating a simple version would be a lot easier and less time consuming.

Stop Motion Rubik's Cube

I really like this as I think it is simple yet fascinating. The fact it looks as though it's solving itself is amusing and this video is clever.

My ideas.

I have had a few ideas on what to base my stop motion video on, but I think they are too advance for my sort of skills. These include drawings and plasticine to create the video. I have looked into Morph and a number of other videos using drawings and plasticine. I think this would be too hard for me to do as I am not that skilled at drawing there fore my images would have to be simple meaning it won't look as good. As for creating a stop motion with plasticine will be extremely time consuming and there is only about 5 weeks left to complete it. The idea of a Rubix cube and post it note stop motion seems to be a bit easier and most likely something that I would be able to do well.

Morph - Card Trick

Wednesday 21st September

During todays lesson we had a small insight to the studio. We were shown the way the camera and lights work together as well as making a couple of small stop motion videos.
It took a lot of work and time to do just a small amount as the movements had to be extremely small to create the right effect other wise it would just look like a number of different photos placed together creating a 'jerky' video.

We started off by placing the camera, which was a canon 5d, onto a tripod to make sure it didn't move so all the pictures were in line with each other. Then we laid out sheets of fabric to create a bright background and also used them to add certain details like the sun, sea or a skateboard ramp which I think looked really effective within the stop motion. Then as we took each photo we made slight adjustments to the position of the people and props involved to make it look as though they were moving. The outcome was better than I thought and I really enjoyed this activity as it enabled us to all work together and use our creativity.

All clouds have a silver lining, apart from this one. This one is mine.
