My final stop motion video - Rocking Out

Dylan and i thought of this idea to create a scene with a band playing with no instruments. Dylan photographed this video and i was "the lead singer". We then edited it together on Final Cut and added some music to fit the scene. overall the video could have been better but for the comedy value and the sheer randomness, it has worked out reasonably well.

Editing

Bellow are a few images showing the editing process done in Final Cut. I prefer using Final Cut to iMovie because it dosnt restrict you, for example the fastest iMovie will let you play a image for is 0.38 seconds whereas final cut can do it in 0.1 seconds.

This images shows the editorial process of the video above called Flash.

This is when i was editing the audio for the film.

The is when i was selecting some audio to add to the film 

The Dead Bananna

This video was created using iMovie as it allowed me to upload images and put them into a stop motion video. The original idea was to just have the bananna unappealing itself, but i decided to make it a little more interesting. i decided to have a knife enter the scene and chop the bananna into pieces.

Peeling Bannana Design Sheet

This is my design of a scene with a bananna peeling itself frame by frame. It will be shot on the kitchen table or kitchen surface. I saw a video that included fruit and this influenced me in designing this storyboard.

Liquid Stop Motion Film

This video worked as i planned. it was taken in my kitchen and the only thing i changed from my plan was to make the cup go empty after it gets full. If i was to do this again i would make sure there was no water droplets on the table before each frame and i would also change the liquid, maybe a beer. i am not that pleased with my timings of the sound on the editing so my next film i will make that a priority. Overall i am happy with my attempt as the quality of the photographs are good and the volume of liquid added each time was consistent.

This is an image of an idea i put to paper before going out to photograph the scene. the idea is to have a empty cup not the table slowly getting full. this could be shot anywhere but i am going to shoot it in the kitchen or dining room. 

A Walk In the Park

This is the simple stop motion that i created today. This video shows Sammy walking along a path on the way to the park. This is a simple stop motion but also shows how simple it is to make.

My First Stop Motion Film

Today we went outside armed with a tripod and a camera to take photo's to produce a basic stop motion video. I used Sammy as my model and had her walking down a path. se then stumbled upon a play park and becomes excited, quickly taking her coat and bag off so she can go and play. I really enjoyed taking these photos as it was good fun and a lovely day. 


When we had the images we came back into the class room to make them into a small stop motion video. i used Final cut to make this video as there are no restrictions compared to other software such as iMovie. This software allows you to simply make all of the still images into a simple stop motion movie.
