George Swimming.

 For  this stop motion example, we placed a blue sheet of material on top of george to look like waves, we had to people at either end waving to create the movement of the sea so it looked like george was swimming.

He found it quite hard as his arms were quite close to his body and didn't have enough room as you would when you are swimming. We took the pictures with george moving quite slowly so when we put them altogether it ran smoothly.  

Studio Work and Experiments

Today we went into the studio and experimented on different type of  Stop frame photography doing animations, we all worked as a group to create 3 separate scenes, we varied the props that we used which ranged from materials in the background to using a suitcase, Stepladder, and a cambo camera stand which the camera was attached to.

Canon 5d

We used the cannon 5d, and Bowens lighting equipment to access as much light in the shot as we could.


          This would move in different rotational movements to capture different angles.
I enjoyed doing stop frame and watching it because the movements of each shot had to be so small.
The final result turned out to be quite good, but I if they moved their body a little slower they would capture the image and motion much better. 

Bowens Lighting.


When you take the photos you have to take in many things;

• You have to think about the position of the camera and the settings.
• To be constantly aware of the the health and safety, as you are not looking after yourself because there are other people in the room. 

Food Chain Idea.

Another Idea of mine is to have a packet of skittles or small sweets to arrange different animals on a simple background which highlights their habitat. It would show the food chain by the Herbivores eating lettuce then the Herbivores would be eat by the secondary consumers and when it comes to the Predator i could bring maybe a object to do with time which fasts forward which makes the animal extinct?.

Change: The Coolest Stop Motion Video Ever

Even though this is slightly animated I like this video because of the different heights they use . I also like how they change and vary the speed, from going slow to fast and how they reverse the objects,  and go backwards as well forward in normal ones.

Dinosaur Idea

My idea is to bring in two toy/models of dinosaurs and to place them on a background which is black card in a long rectangular shape with yellow squares on to look like sky scrapers but at night time. I'd move the dinosaurs around and to move them around to show their power. I could use blue tack for instance to maker stick men a people running away.
