Test Animations

I attempted a stop motion test sequence using a digital camera and editing in Photoshop. This was my first attempt at any kind of animation and I was suprised at how simple it was to put together. I found stop motion quite challenging to do, and doing a test shoot has shown me what parts i need to iron out and how effectively I am moving the character. The tests showed that i need to make sure the camera and model are secured to the surface, and to keep hands and shadows out of the shot!
