Final Project - Stop Motion Video

INSTRUCTIONS


For this task, I grouped up with another classmate to complete this final project. We spent the first 2 weeks planning and getting the required equipment to start our production. 



This is our scene breakdown, to have a clearer direction when working on the shoot. 



We started shooting in the morning at 10am at the Taylors Carpark and concluded our production at 2pm. We chose this location because we felt the surrounding could mimic a warlike background, with the dirt and grass and gravel. We also used the surrounding nature to our advantage. 


Once production was complete, I compiled and arranged all images accordingly and created a sequence using Photoshop. 



Next, Michael added the video effects for the gunfire and explosions. 


Moving on, I recorded and added the sound effects that suited each scene. I added dialogues that were used by the army men and the ambience of war to give it a more realistic feel. 


I also added some some music in the start and end of the sequence to create a smoother run from start to end. 


To further enhance that, I also added texts that act as the introduction to the scene and credits as well.

Reflection 

Creating a stop-motion shoot was such a cool experience. First, we had to decide what the story would be about. We created a scene breakdown to have clear direction. Then, when it was time to shoot, we moved the characters bit by bit, taking pictures along the way. It felt like making a tiny movie with lots of pictures. Shooting was a bit tricky because we had to be patient and move everything just a little for each picture. After that, when all the pictures were taken, we used Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Pro to put them together. It was like putting all the puzzle pieces in the right order to make the story flow smoothly. The whole experience taught me how to tell a story using pictures and made me realize how important it is to take things step by step.
