I have been working on a stop-motion animation film for a while. It is such an interesting yet challenging process because it demands a lot of patience. Stop-motion animation involves taking many photographs of moving inanimate objects or figures and putting them together in order to create the illusion of movement.
We have been working on the script in detail and I’ve come to learn a great deal about the nuances of script writing- each loop-hole and dramatic element is considered and worked on if necessary. The craftiness of this medium makes it unique in the field of animation. It involves 3d miniature sets and figures made from a range of materials.
The last short stop motion film a group of us made for a curtain raiser of a film festival was made by trial and error. It turned out to be pretty good but by the end of it I was having dreams about the million tiny movements we hadto make of the figures before each picture was clicked. each of those pictures, when edited together created the illusion that those figures moved around on their own. Stop-click, stop-click was all i dreamt for the next few days!
The results are usually amazing though!
