Stop Animation Experiment 3 (3 times)

This first video was our third and final experiment of stop animation. We used the cut out shapes of the wolf and tree's we had made, along with some leaf shapes for added effect, to create the continuous motion shown below. However,as you can see, there were certain pictures in the video with hands in, which was a big problem. This was accidental and would obviously be more carefully avoided. This video is the closest thing we have made so far that looks like what the finished product will probably look like. This is because we decided to add in the wolf shape, and the tree's with the small detail of the leaves falling in the background, behind the main action of the wolf. These small details to the tree's and other aspects of the wood are what we are hoping to add to the animation, to make it that extra bit interesting for the audience.

The next video is the same as above, however we cut out the 3 pictures that contained a hand shadow in the picture. This didn't really affect the quality of the video, and didn't make it too jumpy, which is good in case any mistakes were made. However hopefully if we spot a mistake with hands in the final thing we can easily take another picture there and then, and replace the bad picture with the good one. We didn't do that this time as we didn't have much time to take the pictures, and was only a trial run, however deleting certain pictures also seems successful.




This final video is the same again, however we noticed how the leaf and the wolf's movement may be too fast, so we made the video slower by lengthening the time of frames each picture was shown for. This technique could be very useful for getting the animation in time with the music, so its not too fast or too slow for the track. It also helps it create a more natural feel to the otherwise make-believe world the wolf is in, and we may use this to our advantage in the end production.
