Week 4: Background

This week is our first submission of our first part of stop motion, background. I have done part of my candle stopmotion but I have encounter several problems and I have share with Michael to ask for his opinion. Firstly, I do not have a closed space to light up the candle, the wind outdoor are too big at night and all the indoors are fixed up with firealarm. Secondly is I do not have an equipment to light up the candles in time, will is very troublesome because I need to light up again and again. Michael given me few suggestions and he loved what I did after I showed him a sample of my candle stopmotion.

I guess i will have to find a way to solve or else I will have to change my idea of doing it. So I submitted the part of candle stopmotion and move on to do the background of it. I have choosen blue sky as my background, then I book a DSLR from damien on tomorrow. Excited!



Basic Stopmotion Tutorial:
1) Take all the pictures taken import into editing software (Finalcut/Flash/Imovie/PremierePro/AfterEffects/Etc)
2) You will have to choose the sequence settings before export (Basic=10 Frames per second)
3) Arrange them in correct sequence
4) You will see the result while playing after all in sequence
5) You can set the speed by adjusting the frames
6) That is the simple way to do stopmotion
