Stop-Motion Character Animation

Here is the stop motion animation:




I worked with Edie and Olivia, and we had an amazing time together!

↑Here is how we worked.

Edie and I placed the characters and Olivia directed us where to put them in appropriate positions. We used chopsticks and pasted them behind each characters so the characters can "jump" in the air. It is challenge when we have multiple objects doing actions at the same time, but we made it works. After we shot all the photos, we used Photoshop to move chopsticks and hands out. We also changed color temperature for some frames if they are so different than others. Then, we put all the photos in flash, the film is done.

This is my first time to do a stop motion animation this long. The only 36 seconds kept us two days for shooting and editing. Yet, I really have good time with my friends. Together, we solve problems, work, and think interesting ideas. It is fun to work in groups at this time.
