Stop-Motion Character Animation

In order to create this animation, we first thought about what we wanted to do in the scene. We then storyboarded out an idea and revised the idea until it seemed appropriate. After deciding on a scene, we went and bought the supplies necessary and set up the scene and lighting. We used sand for the sand, small plan props and shells for the beach, and blue foam for the water. When it came to actually shooting the photographs for the stop-motion, we set up multiple cameras and worked frame by frame moving the characters slowly. After shooting the frames, we put the photos into Adobe Premiere and converted it into a movie.

I worked on the original storyboards and editing the movie. My partner worked primarily on the camera angles and the lighting. We both worked on setting up the scene and the movement of the characters, as we would take turns moving characters and taking the photos.
