DESCRIPTION

Stop motion animation is a captivating technique that creates the illusion of movement through the meticulous manipulation of inanimate objects. By photographing these objects in small increments and compiling the images into a continuous sequence, animators can bring seemingly lifeless items to life. This guide offers practical steps to create a stop animation film, including storyboarding, filming tips, and software suggestions like Premiere for editing.

  1. Stop Animation Project

  2. What is stop animation? • Stop motion (or frame-by-frame) animation is a general term for an animation technique which makes a physically manipulated object appear to move. • The object is moved by extremely small amounts between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence

  3. Examples • Rammstein - Feuer Frei • Minilogue/hitchhikers choice - shortversion (Longer on DVD) • MyAnimatedWorld

  4. How do we do it? • Form your idea using an inanimate object , this can coins, pieces of paper, food, candy toys, pencils anything not alive. • Pick a partner, and write a rough storyboard of what is going to happen • One person takes the picture and help direct • The other moves the object

  5. Tips • Since we can’t leave the objects in place, film each scene separately (keep track of your own stuff) • Upload your pictures at the end of each day to your Z drive, keep them separated in folders or you will regret it. • Film in the same place each time or lighting will be different • It’s not a race, take your time. • The smaller the movements the better the animation.

  6. Objective • Create a stop animation film of at least 30 seconds in length • We will use Premiere to put all the photo’s together and add voice, sound effects, music etc. • Figure on having at least 10 frames per second, that means you will need approximately 300 pictures.

  7. Things to think on • Mediums- There are a great number of mediums you can use- dry erase, toys, mundane objects, drawing on paper or using construction paper cutouts. • New Possibilities- Using stop animation you can make objects that are not alive appear to be, objects appear and disappear, change into something else etc.

  8. More thinking things • A “regular” motion film is composed of thousands of stills. • Use the onion skin technology to help keep small objects on track. • Keep the lighting consistent in all of the frames or it will become a distraction. • You can use a web cam or regular camera.
