Below are the practice stages of the 2D stop motion process.
Steps:
- A basic template was used for the body
- Cut out of the different parts
- Parts were joined with thread
- Once all parts were joined, the body was flattened out with weight
- White background was used
- iPhone camera was stationary to take the pictures
- The paper doll was moved slightly for each shot
- iMovie software was used
Results:
- Approximately 20 shots were taken to make about 3 seconds of film
- Each clip had a duration of 0.2 seconds
Videos:
Trial 1:
- 23 pictures with a duration of 0.2 seconds
- Goal: Paper doll was to swing arm while still, tilt head up & down then begin walking forward
Trial 2:
- 19 pictures with a duration of 0.2 seconds
- Goal: Have paper doll walk diagonally out of frame while swinging arm
Amendments for future:
- Use wire to bond the parts
- May need thicker paper for silhouettes
- Parts
- a movable neck is not necessary
- Legs: need thigh & calfs
- Forearm is needed
- Need professional camera with stand
- Sufficient lighting needed for foreground and background light
