BMA124, stop-motion filming, 12 and 15 October

Monday in class, we experimented with lighting effects and gels.  We like the effect that we get by wrapping the lamps in blue plastic (bottom picture).  We'd prefer not to have to tint each frame in After Effects if the effect can be achieved in camera.  The top shot is not at the angle we want, and the bottom one is, for the emergence of the monster.  We played around with NKRemote on the SIT laptop which allows us to watch what we're doing in real time. Our monster puppet will be on top of the bar holding our wall together.  When it appears, it will be centered over the bar.  




Our Professional Practices class has been moved from Thursday morning, which means more time to work on Stop Motion during the week.  Anna and I filmed three shots: close up of Bear readying himself psychologically for battle, Monkey nervously offering to help, and the push in on the kid in bed flanked by her stuff animals.  You know, crap.  We're giving it a go.                    




I operated Bear while Anna ran the laptop.  

I operated Monkey while Anna ran the laptop.

This time, we switched roles with Anna "breathing" the kid.

Bears sword broke and these were the easiest shots to do without it.  We'll go back at it Monday.
