Everyone loves a bit of stop motion

Stop motion, i personally think is amazing. Hard, but amazing!
In our music video, we want our main character, a boy, to pull out a flip book with stop motion in it, which only needs to be about 5 seconds long. But there's so much detail and time that has to go into it. Like making sure all the drawings are the same size, place, expression and even the shading! That's why we only want about 5 seconds worth of it, because it'll just get too difficult and time consuming.


We also want some stop motion toys in our film. Not as many as this just one or two we think, but it'll take a lot of practice to make sure we get every movement right. Also, we need to ensure that the lightening stays the same, as its meant to show only a short amount of time passing by... not the hours that it might take to do.


This amazed me. We've put down on our story board that we're having stop motion socks moving towards the door as the boy walks out the room, and this is how we're going to do it. Smooth and slick :) Obviously i need to get more research on how to move the socks and how much to move it by, and when editing, make sure that it's all edited together at the right time.
