Stop-Motion Character Animation

stop motion character animation

for this stop motion animation, i was a little stuck on what idea and story to come up with. so i decided to ask my girlfriend for some fresh ideas. we ended up coming up with a story about a young man that is desperate to find a girlfriend. he only feels confident when he is drinking alcohol. the process that we decided to go with was to sketch how the scene and where the position of the objects would be. we decided to go with a shoe because i felt inspired by watching jessica tong's stop animation "footsteps".

after we sketched where each shoe would go i used a  tri pod to hold the camera in place so that it wouldnt move. we shot it during the afternoon because i didn't have a flash extension and the room lighting is more bright so we decided to use outside lighting.

we moved each shoe little by little until we liked how the animation turned out. overall it was a fun and interesting process. i haven't fully experimented with stop motion before so i had a very fun time doing this project.
