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.
Hi
ReplyDeleteWith this blog you need to add more detail about what you did, the camera you used was a canon 5d, so that and an image of it should appear in your blog along with more kit detail of lighting, etc....
Did you get the images that were handed around, if so add these to your blog to help explain further what you did, etc...

Hi
ReplyDeleteWhere are your versions of these 3 videos that we did? even as pictures they would help explain what you did in the studio.
I also asked for more detail to evidence all the different kit and equipment we used, can you add these please along with any supporting images of that kit off the internet.
