Brief: Experiment with Stop-motion

Theme: Toys

Luke Rodgers; Simon Price

12 Hours to produce this animation. A first draft which I wasn't a part of discovered many problems, most of all that 'everything happened at once'. You will notice the animation has a clear change in days as lighting and camera had to be returned each time we took them out. The second day of recording was just Luke Rodgers and Simon Price. I actually found it much easier working in a pair than a group for this assignment because there's less conflict etc.

This PDF covers all of the above and helps clarify much of the puzzling that clung onto this assignment. If just one of those bullet points interests you, click the link and have a read.

The plot may not make much sense as it was just experimentation but essentially it's a lovely story of a shepard guarding his chicks. Various animals steal the chicks until eventually the shepard goes mad and well... yeah.

Next up is our attempt at making armatures!
