Stop Motion, Go

This assignment was Stop-Motion. No story was required. The only requirement was we transformed one object into another. Minimum 20 seconds(ish) and 15 frames per second (fps) or better.

I feel this project was successful even though the first sequence is less than 15 fps, the second half is 24 fps. I also wasn't aware it needed to go along with my audio mash-up, so I adapted music as it went along in editing.

I have a green-screen colored fabric and I had not used it before so I added that element into the filming. I followed Oliver Stones creative lead in trying to use a more psychological background on two of the backgrounds, one for story telling element, and one background was to sell the location.

I had also never done any mic recording, so I tried that too for this project. I had actually made a full character-based sound track, 7 characters, and decided it wasn't doing the story any favors. So that is when I matched it to a single track that I squished to fit the story in a rhythmic story-telling fashion. I left in only sound effects and left in 2 voice tracks.

Enjoy!
