Project #12 - Stop Animation

Image
This was a short stop motion animation that I did using simple oven bake clay. It was made in adobe premiere pro. I took around 300 photos which i then compiled into a video format by uploading each photo as only a couple frames, creating a stop motion animation. There isn't really any premise to the video, since it was mostly a test to see how to use premiere pro, but in the end i decided to use it as my actual animation for this project.  My camera for some reason had a line of dead pixels, but in order to make it fit in, i decided to overlay a film grain and static in order to then give it an old film feel. I also used to program Audacity to edit the audio a little and make it even more eerie and feel as if the video is a cursed relic.

Test stop motion animation

This was a test animation that I made in Adobe Premiere Pro, i made it by taking a series of photos and putting them all together in order to make a quick stop motion animation, which is effectively an automatic rapid slideshow, that creates the illusion of movement, despite it only being a series of photos

Inspiring stop motion animations

Zero  I love this stop motion animation, because it tackles a really prevalent issue, while also being very visually appealing. Ever since i first saw this short i was captivated by stop motion pictures. I loved how they were able to make interesting and powerful videos using a medium that I'm more comfortable with than using computer programs that are clunky and rely on you working on the back end rather than being able to feel and see what you're doing. The Maker This animation, though the message itself is a little convoluted, the animation itself is amazing. I love it's semi-fluid movement and the actual figures themselves. The overall creepiness of this animation is very compelling to me, and it gives me inspiration as to what i want my animation(s) to look like. The unsettling look of it gives a close resemblance to uncanny valley, and is life-like but not enough, which contributes heavily to the animation's tone and premise. Going fishing - Guldi
