Hello
Friends, in this assignment we are going to create our own stop motion
animation video. We have already
completed our summary and report about stop motion animation which has helped
me a lot to learn about stop motion animation.
Although this is an individual assignment I am going to take some help
from one of my fellow friends while filming because I am doing the role of
character/model in my animation video.
Inspiration
and Idea: While doing my report I
researched some of the stop motion clips created by last year students. I also searched some of the beginner and
professional stop motion animation videos on the YouTube. Most of them were clay animation. After watching a couple of videos I found a
video named “The Magic Box” which inspired me a lot to make a stop motion
animation video along with some magic.
The video is given below:
I
am going to use a deck of Bicycle playing cards on my video. I myself will do the part of a magician. My main aim of my video will be provide an
entertainment to the viewers. I am
mixing some card tricks on my video which in my opinion will make the video
more interesting. I will use different
sound effects and tracks to make my animation video more realistic.
Frame per
second: While doing the research
about “How to make a stop motion
animation video?” I found that most
of the professional animators use 24 frames per second on their video for
smoothness of their animation but in my case I am just a beginner learner so I’ll
do 12 frames per second. 12 frames for second
produce a simple illusion and create a beautiful flow in my animation.
Problems and
Limitations: The main problem I have to
face during my animation period is “Time Limit”. I have to make my video time really
stable. Our animation video should be of
minimum 1 minute, and we also can’t make our video too long which can make our
viewers feel bore. Our video should be neither
too short nor too long. I am planning
for a 2-3 minute animation. I am filming
my video with a mobile phone which is one of the few problems I have to face
while making my animation. Final Cut
Express takes more time to render the video which is captured from mobile
phones.
To
avoid other problems and injuries we should follow the college’s health and
safety rules. Handling the equipment
properly, following the rules of college falls under it.
