Stop Motion Samples: The Basics

This will be my first stop motion animation so I decided to start with the basics and use some plasticine to shape a simple form. I originally made a basic human shape but found that the plasticine was too soft and flexible for the model to stand, this could be solved with either wire or a fine mesh. I have attached my first two basic stop motion videos covering movement of the model and the models arms. During these experiments I found that it is crucial to make sure that the finger is out of shot and the camera is in focus.


Basic Movement


Basic Movement 2: Arms

I will soon be using different materials for the models, including paper. I will also find which timing is more suited to the piece.
