Stop Motion

For this "project", a friend and I worked together to create an animation in the theme of "A new friend". we used to stop motion and shot it using an iPhone. The stop motion had sixty-three individual frames, a duration of twelve seconds, and a time frame of five frames per second. `The mini story is about a bear wandering around when he suddenly discovers a ghost tied to a “lamp post” and unable to get out of the mess it is in. The bear quickly figures out a way to untie the ghost, and by the end, they become friends and go off together into the unknown. I found that using stop motion required a lot of patience due to the number of shots we had to take.  I also did not realise that it would take such a long time to make. My friend and I ended up spending the whole duration of our class creating this stop motion (two hours). However, what I liked about having to use  stop motion was how easy it was to shoot the various frames, and also move them around (or delete them). I also liked how it allowed my friend and I to be creative, and we had choice in how many shots we could use, and the time frame for them as well.  In conclusion, despite the patience and time it took, I found this experience very fun and would like to create more mini stories/ projects using stop motion.
