Stop motion exerpts

after a lot of playing around, here are two final sequences from my animation. I filmed on a frame rate of 10fps, which is similar to the frame rate of films such as Bagpuss and The Clangers.

Paper crumple test animation

Another test with another camera to experiment with techniques for my title sequence. I changed cameras because of the problems with the lighting changing, and I found this one more versatile to use. There is still a slight colour change, but all I will need to do is toggle my light source around.

Puppet camera tests

I have been experimenting with different cameras and lighting sources to produce my final animation in. I was unable to use a shutter camera as the viewfinder gave me a headache, and the set up is designed for two people, meaning i would be animating blindly and not producing the best result. I have devised a good setup with a digital camera and a tripod, however I am still experiencing problems with the lighting changing to yellow through my animation. I will have to experiment further with the camera setting and lighting to eradicate this.







I also need to be careful of keeping fingers and shadows out of the frame.
