Here is my first time doing a Stop Motion Animation. This is done for my Physics of Animation class. First, I had to think of what kind of object I wanted to use for my stop motion. I gathered my objects and references and composed my scene. I decided to use one of my digital paint rendering from ANI 117A and decided to do a leaf drop. Second, I drew out my path of actions and key framed the main positions. Third, I made sure my room was well lit to match my background. Then I positioned my leaves to match the path of actions; which I had to do it blindly. It was hard positioning the camera without a tripod so I photographed it the best I could. I actually positioned the leaf on a bright white background so that I could delete the edges quickly in Photoshop. I used a Nikon camera (I don't know the model) which came out pretty clear. After, I uploaded the images in Photoshop and cleaned up the edges. I carefully timed each frame (JPG) making sure some frames were on 2's or 1's (slow in - slow out). Lastly, I composed all the JPGs into the Photoshop Timeline and exported it as an avi and converted the file into mov in After Effects. It was an interesting projecting because I had never done stop motion before. I would definitely try it again! Cheers
Also, some parts were a little quick especially in the beginning. I had a hard time making it smooth in Photoshop so I did the best I could.
Here is my Process:
