Stop Motion Practice

TAA-DAAA

During last media lesson, I practiced using stop motion, as I want to incorporate it into my music video. Here I used lego characters and a toy car to make a short video of a woman being scared of a ghost. The lego base plate moves a bit during the film, but I think overall I did this quite well for a first attempt. I was using the method of connecting a HD video camera to a macbook and taking individual pictures, which for this practice task proved very effect. Although, when filming my music video, I think I may use a different technique, of taking lots of photos non-stop on a DLSR camera, as I want my characters to build a tent and 'den' area without stopping. This should also give the effect that time is passing more quickly, which is effectively what I want to achieve.
