THE MOVING IMAGE

Stop Motion Animation

My partner, Erik, and I used clay and other objects to make a stop motion video. Our theme was 'horror'. In our movie we have an old grumpy man that hates kids. The man is walking home when a ball hits his leg, he turns and sees that the ball belongs to two kids. The old man picks up the ball and pops it, he then goes in side and has a nap. The old man hears the doorbell ring but no one is there so he goes back inside into the kitchen. The old man is about to make a sandwhich but he hears the doorbell again. The samethings happens, no one is there, The old man walks back to the kitchen to find that his house has been destroyed by one of the kids. Finally the kid appears to be a demon of some sort and gives the man a heart attack.

-Keep the lighting the same througout your entire shoot.

Three Things to Remember When Doing Stop Motion

Cool Animations I Found on the Internet

Stop motion is an animation that makes it seem that abiotic things are moving on its own. The object is moved in very small increments. Each time the object is moved you must take a picture. At the end when you combine all the pictures it should look like the object is moving by its self.

I like the story line of this video

I made this GIF from scratch. I drew the cliff and then the stick man in a running position. Next, I made a second running man and switched back and fourth between the two until they reached the edge of the cliff. Finally, I drew a free floater and just moved him down.

30 Second Film

Before my friend, Erik, filmed me I made plan that showed I would walk to school, got to my locker, and go to class. In my video I made sure that there was a lot of camera angles.
