| View in widescreen - www.youtube.com Some FUN FACTS before you judge my video. It took Nick Park 6 years to create his first feature short - Wallace and Gromit Grand Day out (26 minutes in length). His first year in production, he only managed to film the first page of his script while still at NFTS (National Film and Television school). University project Question: Can a somewhat previously inexperienced, single body use consumer technology to produce a professional looking claymation by users standards. The outcome was far from what I wanted, but without; -Set Redesign -Character Redesign -Narrative Redesign Which would result in buying a lot more materials - I would not have enough time to reproduce another animation. Time spent on project: Filming: 60 Hours Editing: 20 Hours After Effects compositing: 5 hours Audio recording/editing: 7 hours. These times did not include test videos/character creation or story creation. These alone took another 60 hours believe it or not. Tools used. -Photoshop for graphics. -After Effects for compositing + text. -Avid Protools/garageband for audio editing. -AKG 414 + Zoom h4 for recording audio. -Canon 550d/18-55mm/EOS canon utility remote shooting. -Premiere pro for editing. -Lewis newplast clay for... the clay. People underestimate how difficult and time consuming stop-motion animations are. Although it would be nice to see constructive comments, I doubt I will make any in the future. |
