Stop-Motion Character Animation


 Let me first say, I definitely have an even greater appreciation for Ray Harryhausen!

 Even though I am not satisfied with my result, I still enjoyed the process. I first tried thinking of a short story. Then design and molded characters and props. I tried to find a location in my room that I could control the lighting as much as possible. Then I chose how to stage it. I used my mirror to capture a visual of what I wanted to duplicate and tried my best to mimic it in my characters. Originally there was much more to this animation, but after try and try and try again, there was always something I either forgot to move, something fell and wasn't put in the right place...all these little problems that once they occurred you had to start over from frame one. Extremely frustrating, but a good experience.
