Stop-Motion Project Analysis

As part of our skills development section of the course, we as a whole class planned, filmed and edited from scratch our own stop-motion video. Each of us took on a variety of different responsibilities throughout the project's creation, which ended up taking a little over a month worth of college time to complete. Personally, I helped with the editing for the earlier stages of the creation, as well as small amounts of writing, filming (which involved taking photos and moving the characters to the desired positions for that frame), and audio. Once completed, the video was roughly fifty seconds long, and included visuals, voice acting and sound effects. This was the first time creating a stop motion project like this for a lot of us in the class. As a result, I personally feel like what we managed to create turned out decently well. I found the project quite difficult at times, such as moving each prop into the position with the blue tac without messing up too much (like dropping them or losing their positions for example), which can be seen in the final project with some objects like trees moving about between shots at time, but did enjoy the project's creation process overall.
