My Stop Motion

This is my original stop motion animation. I made it by using my DSLR to take a series of photos (over 100) of pictures moving across more images. In this instance cutouts of a person in various poses and positions, printed them black and white and cut them out. Then I positioned them on photos I had taken and moved them around while taking pictures forming an animation sequence. To make this into an animation I imported all my photographs into Adobe Premier, placed them in sequence, exported this as a video, imported again and shortened the length to around 20 seconds.




However I think is is not as appropriate as a reflected response to the photographers I have looked at and the theme of my project, and so I decided to redo it, with a different top image that represents a natural landscape which contrasts with the train station, representing an unnatural world. I put this together in windows movie maker instead, which seems to have made the video flicker.
