Agin with stop motion

After we had created the scribe we had decided to create another stop motion animation that would represent some of our ideas for making controversy's and how it is possible to escape them at first we thought to just make caricatures of people that are believing that there views on the word are good and not taking other people in to consideration so by doing some sketches and automatic drawings on the board we had stumbled up on a idea of creating monsters that would represent certain people and  actions. after a lite bit of designing we had created 8 monsters that we painted with water colours and made the outlines stronger with black marker then we cut them out we also had created a normal dude figure that had limbs that could move the were cut out separately and the late we used blu tack to make it less messy  and it helped to control. at first it was a bit automatic work but now we had moved on and we have to make it have meaning and reason think about composition mise-en-scene
ext so we had create a detailed story board we had decided to create a dude that runs pass all the monsters to get to the edge of the paper and rips through it in a playdoh form landing on real grass and having fun

to create the playdoh character i thought that using the the wired marionette that i made before  i thought that the joints in the marionette would help the character to move better but in ended up sabotaging it at the end because the where bending to easy also it the play do was way to heavy so by doing research i found that you should build the mass of the armature with a light material that could be taped to it and the covered in play do or oil clay so i used newspapers to build the mass and also to cover and strengthen the joints so it did help to reduce some weight but the character was still unstable so i think ill have to go back to idea of using stability wire that would go though the back of it and so it most likely be visible so will have to be smart with the camera angles

slowly build up he flesh with playdoh

so after all the planing we had decided to get to action and start animating an stop motion app was download to the phone and we used this bizarre chair and ruler set up to hold the phone in same position for each frame   the rest oh the work was kinda simple we just had to move the characters and keep taking pictures. we had created the part where the play do person goes through the paper by placing some Styrofoam under a cutting mat so the black paper can be placed on it and the white paper could go under so that the playdoh character could slowly appear as the paper one rips away in through the edge and then he had slide the wight and black paper so that its only white paper left and the character failing through it

it was our best option weans we have no phone stand (worked well)

the remains to the paper character 

supporting block two worked well for a wood board but it was to big so we used cutting mat
which was smaller but more flexible so we needed an extra block 

To help us to stabilise the phone when we would take it out side and have to do different angles we used styrofoam drawn around it and then cut it out with a blade (taking health and safety in to consideration) and then placed the phone inside the hole and it worked well and was well secured
 

the editing was simple just adding the sounds that we downloaded from the internet and the sounds we make on our own and  putting them in the correct area and adjusting the volume of it I tried to edit out couple mistakes that occurred in few of the frames that we didn't notice it until it was to late to change I thought I could be a simple fix but my editing skills aren't good enough yet.

It was extremely  stressful and hard to control the playdoh model I will have to work on making a better one, it kept  falling over even with the stabilisation wire inside of it still didn't cooperate well but it have given us experience and knowledge and can improve if we going to do it again main thing is to have a good set up and also make a working character that is able to move and keep balance so that it can be animated better.
