What's Happening

Another part of stop motion animation is Silhouette Animation. It's basically a stop motion just you use shadows. This is a very hard one to conquer because you have to keep the shadow sill when taking the picture. However there is an easier way to accomplish it, some animators use dark black ink or make their characters digitally. Since we are new to this type we were thinking of making one with dark black construction paper. We still haven't planned out what the animation will be, for an example the object stop motion animation we had the wooden man going on a journey. If you have any ideas leave a comment below. But don't make it to complicated cause this is our first time trying it out. We also decided that we have to work on our lighting in our videos. So I plan to buy a desktop lamp so we have the same amount of lighting in all our shots. This may help us out more and I hopefully can buy a camera stand so we can have less movement in the shots. We sent an email out to a guy named Marc, who is a clay animator. He did respond saying he is willing to answer our questions, so we sent the questions. He hasn't respond yet, crossing my fingers he does. So this is so far where we are at. We are still trying to work with the wooden man model, but it needs some repairing. See you guys next time.
