Stop Motion.

What was your idea? My idea was to create a stop motion movie with the use of a Nikon DX60 and singular pictures, which I would then turn into a movie. The idea behind my movie was to recreate the idea of YouTube, but to create it in real life. To do this, I took print screens of a YouTube video, cut each other singular image out of and took a picture of each, which I then turned into a stop motion movie. Each picture was placed in the same place on a wooden desk, which helped as it made the video look more fluent, as each picture was placed in the same place. How did you come up with your idea? I came up with the idea to recreate a YouTube video by first of all brain storming ideas of what kind of video I’d like to make and what would be the main idea behind the video, in the end, I came up with the idea to recreate a YouTube video using singular pictures, giving the idea of YouTube not only being watched on the internet, but in real life. How did you create your animation? I created my animation by print screening and cutting out images from a YouTube video, placing each image down on a desk and taking an image from each. This gave the video more fluency, giving the impression that you were actually watching the YouTube video itself. What technologies did you use? To create my stop motion movie, I used a Nikon DX60 and YouTube, creating the movie on the camera itself. What problems did you encounter? I only encountered a few problems whilst creating my stop motion movie; one of them being the use of the camera, and how close up I should the images and whether or not the images were viewable. Also, I created my stop motion movie with JPEG’s, which I then turned into a movie, yet I set that at 15FPS, which made the movie itself jumpy and too quick to watch. To fix this, I slowed it down to only 10FPS, which made the movie a lot more fluent and easier to watch. Other than that, I didn’t really encounter any other problems. How did you overcome the difficulties? I overcame this minor difficultly by testing out a few camera angles and debating which one was the best to use for my video, when I was decided, I then chose that camera angle and it wasn’t an issue.
