Animation Research

I've been looking at different animation styles that I can use in my final project, or in future projects.

I decided to make my own stop motion animation to form part of my research and looked for some examples on YouTube. I managed to find a very entertaining video (below). If you want to see the whole picture you may have to double click on the video to open it in YouTube.



I kept mine short and simple, using only an A4 piece of paper and a piece of cardboard to cut shapes from. I used an Olympus SP-500UZ camera to take the photographs. So without further ado, here is my first stop motion animation.



The hardest part of this animation was rendering it. I have several renders using different qualities and codecs. In the end I had to just export it from After Effects so that I could upload it. 42 photographs were taken in total.
