Stop Motion Research Evaluation

Stop Motion Research Evaluation

Clip 1:

Our task was to create a character to feature in a short stop motion animation using inanimate objects such as Lego, clay or other various items. I think the rolling of the truck was done well however it was rushed so I didn't take many pictures. I also wish I improved the interaction between the character and the object & made it more advanced.

Our second task was to make another stop motion animation but this time we had to include the character lip syncing the term 'let me go'. This was done by drawing out different vowels and mouth movements and then sticking them onto our characters. Me and Nic teamed up to use both of our characters together. One thing I thought went well was the zoom we did onto the camels face once he realised he was in trouble, this created good comedic effect. One thing I thought could of been done better was the voice over we edited in, the background noise makes it obvious its not the character talking.

After trying out and researching different methods, the method of animation I'll use for my e-stings will be clay. This is because I think this is where you have the chance to be the most creative with your characters.
