Experiments with different stop motion techniques

Experiments with different stop motion techniques


Small Objects

This clip is in the style of small objects, I was camera man for this particular animation. I thought that the angle of the camera and the amount of frames in the animation worked well in presenting the overall aspect of it. However I found that the background of the shot let it down as I was too focused on the cars themselves I did not realize what was in the background.

Pixilation

This clip worked well with the transitions of the slides but the over all effect did not work well as the character changed her expression randomly throughout the entire clip.

Paper cutouts

This clip went very well because of the humour added to it and the transitions through different slides gave it more overall volume. Although most of it was good the occasional out of focus frame made it quite jumpy at some points.

Claymation

This worked well as we incorporated the squash and stretch effect, the life like clay was difficult to use but as we did it write we thought it worked well. But because of the constant work on the clay we occasionally moved the pot which sometimes ruined the shot.
