Screen Grab of Music Added.

 This is a screen grab of me changing the length of the music. When I first uploaded the music to the video it started with an introduction which lasted a few seconds then started lyrics. With my video of george because we had to speed it up so it does not look slow, we had to skip the first part of the introduction and move straight onto the lyrics which would work with what the video was about. EG. the lyrics were about swimming in the ocean moving your arms which george was doing.

Duration fault screen Grab Continued.

When I made the stop frame I wrongly pressed a button which duplicated the pictures into four of the same ones.. With the help of Steve I had to go to the duration option and change the timer to 1 second which separated the pictures back into one picture per second.

This improved my stop frame because if I had kept the frames how it was before I used the duration modifier  the picture would repeat itself four times which would automatically make the stop motion slower; so changing the duration to 1 second shortened the length of the stop motion instantly by making each frame shorter to one picture instead of four.

Duration fault screen Grab

Before I was to import the music, My frame duration turned to 4 seconds which meant it repeated it 4 times instead of one. It was not smooth running, so we changed the duration to one second which changed the frame to one frame per second.

Screen Grab.

This is a screen grab what was took of George Swimming, i have also added  a music song into the background which is on another screen grab.

Third Attempt.

  In this clip we got a mustard colour material and placed it on the bottom and shaped it into a half moon shape to create a ramp shape, we placed Dylan's skateboard and moved it around the half moon pipe and ended it with a flip with Dylan falling down.

I think we could have improved this by moving the skateboard lower to the pipe to make it more realistic because when we were taking pictures of the skateboard it was in mid air so it would look better if it was actually on the pipe instead of "floating".

I also think that if he moved his arms in a more flowing way it would look like he's actually slightly skating as well, this can include his knees moving lower and holding the skateboard for when it goes in the air so he's holding the skateboard as it flips in the air.

Second Attempt.

For our second try at making a stop frame motion picture, we placed samantha on a Grey material for the pavement and placed a blue sheet above which was the sky, A yellow ball for the sun which moved from left to right with help from others to look like it what moving in and out of the clouds which were used as white cloths moving right to left and vice versa to create a surreal scene.

The group helped samantha move with the suitcase in small movements because the suitcase was heavy to move and because she was swinging the suitcase like you'd do in the street our group had to move it to different positions bit by bit so it looked realistic when she was walking also.

My first stop motion video. ( Picture and video to be uploaded next wedesday)

Today we were sent outside to take photo's to produce a stop motion video. In this instance Emily took photo's of me and Kayley walking towards eachother from the trees which turned into a minature dance when we met in the middle, we then walked past each other to return in each other origional positions which looked effective. I will also download a song to the mac computer to add into the video for the background. I will choose Meet In the Middle as it links in with the song, as the Me and Kayley are walking towards the Middle of the trees.
