Stop Motion Animation

This video was created using stop motion animation. This involves taking a single photograph of an object and then moving it slightly and photographing it again. When this is put into a projector or video playback system the illusion of motion is created.

With this video a group of us were photographed moving to different positions on the staircase, the camera was kept stationary on the tripod as we wanted the people to move around inside a static frame as opposed to changing camera angles or moving the camera to an entirely different position. Once we had the images that were needed for the video (they were photographed in order of playback) we uploaded them onto imovie and edited them to make this look more filmic than slidehow. The duration that each image was on the screen was reduced to 0.4 seconds which made a total of over 40 images into a 20 second video.
