Stop Motion Animation

2023

For this project, I decided to make a stop-motion animation film about a dog who losses her ball and a heroic friend who comes and saves the day and retrieves the stuck ball. I was thinking for hours about what I wanted to create my short film about, I knew that I had these 2 dog action figures (aka Funko Pops) that I wanted to use but I just wasn't quite sure how to use them. It finally hit me when I saw my own dog playing with her ball and it got stuck under the couch. Of course, I wanted to depict this but with stop motion, and instead of using myself or a human to save the ball I wanted to use another dog. I really enjoyed the video-making process for my film and have a newfound respect for anyone who creates stop-motion animation. Please enjoy my film!
