Afterwards we were ready to start shooting. And it actually worked out really great, because “scouting the set” gave us the idea to do the jump scene, which wasn’t originally in our script.Īfter deciding to do the jump we had to make some slight changes to the script and storyboard. We settled on the windowsill tables in the corridor. It also helped us solidify where it would be set. We met at school early Sunday morning and began storyboarding out the scenes.ĭoing the process of storyboarding really helped us get and idea of what we needed to do and what shots we need. I wrote a basic dialoge which we finalized together. We chatted over Slack about potential story lines and settled on one when we met on Sunday. Prior to shoot day, Henry and I both brainstormed story ideas. No worries, it rained on our shoot day so we had to set it inside anyway. I initially envisioned it being set outside but I wasn’t sure if we could take the production / school equipment outside. The only downside was it was a pretty expensive app which meant we’d have to use a production laptop at school to use it. It seemed pretty cool, and would allow us to control the camera right from the application and enable us to take multiple shots at once all without having to worry about camera shake. We were instructed to use the application DragonFrame. Henry and I planned to meet up over the weekend at school to do the shoot.
Fortunately my partner Henry was open to the idea and we decided to make it happen. lolĮver since my Make 5 (Trucks) - Intro2Fab Assignment, I had been toying with the idea of doing the stop motion assignment with my trucks. Our first Animation assignment was stop motion animation.Ī fan of stop motion I was excited to try it out for myself.Īlways impressed by the amount of work that went in to stop motion pieces, this project gave me a much greater appreciation… by ALOT.
