making a stop motion video in class.

today we had a task where we had to go out in groups of three and make a stop motion video. we made three altogether.

the first one we did was me and someone else walking up some steps and hugging in the end. one person started at the bottom of the steps then the other one started at the top, then they both started walking towards eachother then meet in the middle and hugged. the music in the video would go together because its of two people together, and the song is relevant to the images that have been created.
the second one we did was dropping leaves, me and molly stood ontop of the steps and picked leaves up then dropped them,
then the third one we did was me and sammy walking along a path talking and sammy dropped something so we bent down to get it together.

my stop motion videos at home

at home i created a stop motion video to practice for my final ones. i did it of my friend on a exercise bike and i did another one of her going down the slide. these are the images i used. i captured these images with my camera, Nikon D3000 at home. These are the video's which i created.

practice of stop motion

Today we practiced making stop motion clips in the studio. We created 3 clips altogether, using different backgrounds and objects to create a stop motion. We used a Cannon 3D, Bowen lighting for the set and objects to make the background.


our first clip was a boy swimming in the sea, for this we used a blue sheet for the sea and two people held it at either end and moved it in small pieces to make it look like the sea was moving. Then george moved his arms to make it look like he was swimming in the sea, he moved along is well to make it look more realistic. above is a image to give you an idea of our clip. 


For the second clip, we used a skateboard and made it look like dylan was riding it, we kept moving the skateboard in different positions and he kept moving his body to make it look more like he was riding it in real life. This could be improved by having more things in the background which also moved, we made it look like he was doing tricks by moving the skateboard around in the air and flipping sidewards. Above is a image of dylan slowly riding his skateboard. 


For the third clip, we just did a simple example, like a girl walking with a suit case. we changed the background to make a path, sky and clouds. we used white material for the clouds and made them move to make them look realistic like they were moving, we used blue material for the sky and grey for the path. this could be improved yet again just by using more crops throughout and more things in the background. Above is a image of  sammy walking with the suitcase, this is one of the clips we used to put together to make it realistic.

Bed Head - Stop Motion

I Like this video as it shows a girl doing different hairstyles to her hair, and dont show her actually doing it, it just changes. It is imaginative and very good.

Lost Things

I like this video because it isnt just focused on one thing, theres many things moving and its very imaganative when she goes down the hole. It would take alot of time and patients. it is good how they have not based it in one room iswell, they have changed the environment.

Green With Envy

I like this video as it is imaginative and someone has put alot of time and effort into it, i like it how they have used two different colour of clay men, so it makes it better instead of using one. It is simple to understand and not too long which dont make it boring.

Minilogue/hitchhikers choice - short version (Longer on DVD)

I like this video as its original and taken someone alot of time, effort and patients to do it.
i like how he has drawn the images and made them as if they move, His drawings aint even simple
he does them in detail which makes it more effective.

KiD CuDi - All Along (Stop Motion - Unofficial Music Video)

I like this because it is imaginative and you can tell they have put alot of effort into it.
It would take him/her alot of time to produce this and you can tell they have good
patients and a good imagination.
