What Is Stop Motion Animation?
What Is Stop Motion Animation?
Watching stop motion animation, you are able to see a fluid presentation of an animated film, video or commercial. You often have no idea of the countless hours and staff involved behind the scenes to move each character step-by-step and frame-by-frame. Welcome to the world of stop motion animation!
Essentially, it’s a precise sequence of frames that are played back, giving it the appearance of action and movement. At first glance stop motion animation (also "stop frame animation") can appear to be a daunting task, but with the right tools the end results can be award-winning.
Here’s a great video that shows you an example of high-quality stop motion animation from the movie ”Nightmare Before Christmas”:
Assignment #9 - Movie Short Short.....really ... short
Assignment #9 - Movie Short Short.....really ... short
You are to use the to use the techniques learned herein to create a short that is between 15 and 30 seconds long. Use the models you've worked with (or other models brought in from the internet). You will be doing audio in the next section of the course so this part you will only be recording silly audio noises with your mouth after animating your sequence. Each member will edit the project separately.
Planning is key in this!!! Before you start your project you need to check in with me whether or not you have shown me a "storyboard". Your storyboard will include your rough ideas in picture-form with little notes.
You are to storyboard, the shoot and edit a stop motion animation in one of the following styles:
Claymation
Construction Paper
Wireframe Models (Patrick Boivin)
People - simple photography
When you're done, start premiere elements. go into Edit>preferences and go into GENERAL and change the default # of frames that each still takes to 2 frames. Then import all the pictures into premiere elements (add media, then choose all your pictures). Arrange them in the order you want then when you're done export your video.
To export a sequence as an H.264 file (the most popular option), make sure the Timeline panel is active and choose File > Export > Media or press Control+M (Windows).
In the Export Settings dialog box, choose Format: H.264 and Preset: Match Source – High Bitrate.
To choose a filename and location, click the blue filename to open the Save As dialog box. Use this to choose an export location and a name for your new file, and then click Save.
When you’re happy with your settings, click Export. The new video file will be created, ready to share with the world.
Submit JUST the exported video - not the premiere file.
