Proposal for picture stop motion

For my stop motion I will use different images printed out then retake photos of the images. I will take photos of paper airplanes and print them out in differnt sizes. For the background I will use photos of a landscape that have been taken through out the day. This will be the "changing landscape" aspect of my work. To start with I will have an image of myself holding one of the paper airplanes. I will cut my arm at the shoulder and elbow so that I can make it look like i am actually throwing the paper airplane in a fluid movement. I will throw to air planes then I will make them do acrobatic movements. Aswell as moving the objects I will move the camera, this includes zooming in. I aim to use 300 frames to give the short film a good length.

The video above is by Tony Gilliam and is from the film Monty Python and the Flying Circus. The aspects of stop motion are similar what I hope to achieve from my stop motion. For example, it uses photos of photos which is what i plan to use. The above video is about humour, which is not what i am trying to achieve. I that my video will have the same fluidity as the video above which I will achieve by having a fast frames per second and make each movement very small.

Stop motion test and evaluation of premiere

To practise using the camera and how the computer can automatically capture the frames and put it into premiere, we made a small stop motion clip as practise for our real one. We moved a bus and made a trail of paperclips to follow. I took about 100 photos which gave the clip a esmooth trail. The best bit about using premier is the onion skinning tool which allows you to see the last photo which allowed me to allign the next frame better.

Below is the final clip that we made.
