In our Pixilation Stop Motion Animation there were also a lot of struggles. It hard get the camera in the same place and the people in the video in the same place. Our first idea was to have two girls and one of them would spin into the other. To further explain; I had one student  stand in the hallway and my first challenge was to get the phone/camera in the same stop yet be able to keep a full body picture of her. The camera was placed on an air vent and kept wobbling so it came out messy. Also both people were different sizes and heights so it didn't look as natural when they were switched. It was difficult to do get their legs in the almost exact position so it looked like a smooth transition. Even in our previous post with the two girls spinning on the chair ( a simpler idea of the two spinning girls) it didn't look as realistic and swift.

Day 4 Part 2

Here is our test run of pixilation stop motion animation:

Day 4 Part 1

Before we start working on our officially project, my partner will be testing out pixilation stop motion animation. So today I will be teaching you what pixilation stop motion animation is. So the name kind of sounds like a video game. However  pixilation stop motion animation is actual stop motion animation with people. Lets give you an example:

This type of stop motion animation is fun but, challenging to make. The person in the video must stay still for the next photo until allowed to move again. Since pixalation stop motion animation will be involved in our yearlong video, we wanted to master the concept before starting the final project.  Right now we are trying our best to make a pixalation stop motion animation, however we are having a bit of difficulties. The next post will our text pixalation stop motion animation video. 

Day 3

After playing around with stop motion animation, we are officially ready to start our yearlong in the making project. Today we thought of what we are going to do in the video. We came up with a plan and are ready to begin.  The picture below is the basic idea of our plan for the video. 

Day 2

Today we first tried clay stop motion animation, however we did not succeed. So we then moved on to object animation, and it was successful. We used legos and a stuffed animal.
Our struggles:
1. Keeping the legos in the same place
2. Making or holding up the background (yoga mat)
3. Lighting issues
Our accomplishments:
1. Keeping the camera still
2. Creating our own camera stand
3. Efficient results after putting together the pictures.
