Origami In the Pursuit of Perfection from MABONA ORIGAMI on Vimeo.


i saw this andthought that i could do stop motion story and the characters followa voice overlike this video?

some top tips

I have found a step by step guide on wikihow, and here are some top tips!

1. 24 pictures equals one second of film. It's best to take two pictures of the same shot, so you only require 12.

2. Set up a good source of lighting. It might be a lamp or a flashlight. If your light is flickering, you need to shut off other sources of light. Close the blind, or curtains etc.

3. Move the figure bit by bit - very small movements each time. It may be the entire body if the figure is walking, or it may just be an arm, head or leg. If you are moving only one body part and you find that the figure is tilting or threatening to fall over, make use of poster tack under the feet or other area touching part of the set.

4. Import the pictures into the desired program. Make sure the pictures are at a very small duration so they flow very fast.

this made me think about the possibilities of stop motion!

Idea

i have had an idea, its quite moral though...
basically its all going to be stop motion with plastiscine figures. There will be a woman figure and two men. both men fancy the girl but one is truthful and a decent guy, the other is a mean guy who makes things up to impress the girl and does bad things (e.g speeding on a motorbike, pushing people away). the bad guy realises that the girl likes the nice guy, and trys to "get him". Bad guy goes and punches the good guy in the face but his hand just gets absorbed into the head. then he tries to kick because he cant get away and his foot gets absorbed. he is then stuck to him and has to follow him around and realises he is nice and then the bad guy turns nice and he gets unstuck. then he lets the original nice guy have the girl.
