Stop Motion

In pairs, we created a stop motion film using modelling clay. We did this by taking photos in-between every slight movement of the clay, so when they are played back it would look like the characters are moving. There are on average 25-30 shots taken for each second of a stop motion clip, however this can vary depending of the type, as some only use 5-10. We used around 10-15 to make the production process a little bit quicker.

Here are the stop motion clips that we created: 
This is the first one we made and the concept was very simple, so we decided to challenge ourselves by creating a second clip, which was a little bit more complex.



We also made sure that the background of each clip stayed the same because otherwise the movement would not flow smoothly and would look less effective.
