my stop motion animation was based on the subject of fashion and it is just a video of pictures to do with models and make up images being moved by my hands.

stop motion animations are when images or charaters are moved slightly repeatedly and photographed, so when they are put in cronological order and timed with a certain pace that the picture should move then it gives an illusion of movement.

 

some movies that involve the concept of stop motion are tim burton movies such as ' coraline, corpes bride, night mare before christmas and so on involed clay sculptures being moved contantly to create a movie. after all photos have been taken i had to take them and upload them on i movie in order and then changed the speed and edit the colours of the pictures

I also then had to add the music to my final outcome on i movie and then match the speed of the movie to the speed of the song. once doing that i had completes the stopl motion.

i definatly enjoyed creating my stop motion animtion because i find the process intreseting and i love seeing the end results. i also think this was the easiest form of art work for me to do involving actual movement and i think it is by far the most interesting.

if there was something i would change about my final out come was just another back ground setting would have made it look more interesting and more ideal for the subject of fashion.

some where through the end of making my animation i had heard a song by a band named bring me the horizon and this song reminded me of the animation that i had made a year ago while i ws still in high school. it was a flip book which uses a simalar technique to stop motion. after being reminded about my flip book animation i had then had another idea of an animation that i think would have been very intresting if i had gone through with the idea.

my idea was based on the transformation of bella swan in the movie twilight breaking dawn and it would be drawn out and photographed as the transformation is in progress and then as the images zoom in it would focus on her eyes opening then it would reverse and zoom out into images in someones eyes and it would zoom into a face preferbly being bella's face. as soon as we zoomed out of the images and out of her eye then it would show bella's face and then her facial expression changing into a violent angry 'bella'. the images of her tranformation would seem like memories of herself and what she went through.

i thought it would be a really great idea to accompany this with the song lyrics because the song talks about 'her eyes' which we would be focusing on and 'death' which is what she goes through to become what she is. i think the song would work well with my idea and i wish i had this idea earlier.

this is the song by bring me the horizon that gave me the idea

even though i had the idea i am happy with my original outcome.
