This is a video on the internet of a man recording images with practically the same method as I intend to use. It has the same principle, as he is recording movement via still images then playing these images back. Although this animation is fairly amateur, it does portray the process I will also be using. The images that the animator uses are also heavily edited simply for effect which would have worked better in my opinion if the images had been jerkier. This is what I plan to do, except I shall be photographing this process, so it's slightly more complicated. I found there weren't that many videos on the internet of the process I plan to use but I tried to look into it anyway for the sake of research. These videos help give me an idea of how to plan and storyboard my own idea.

This very short film is the exact same process as I plan to use. It is similar to the previously mentioned Olympus Pen advert except without the movement that mine also will not include. I am glad that I found a video for my project to be compared to as I can see details such as how many shots they used and how much movement is between each shot. I will be using a lot more photographs as my film will be having more of a storyline, but this is precisely what my draft/practice video will be like. The main difference will be that my photographs will be laid on a surface to prevent too much movement, but the fact that these images are being held up works as the backdrop is where the photographs are set so it is a matter of continuity. I quite like this idea but I think the meaning would be lost as mine would be more detailed. I have also thought about putting the images in a photo frame, so that it seems like the content is moving instead of just having the images on a surface. I think this would make the whole process seem more professional and neat.

This video is also the same as the Olympus Pen advert in every way, although I like the way the two beginning images meet. I don't like how jerky the images are so I plan for mine to have a lot more photographs, so being a lot more fluid. I think this will make my project professional and successful. Although I plan to use more images, my animation will not be this long as I assume that the creator must have used over a thousand images. As this particular animation is so long is requires a lot of detail, which it delivers by having such a complex story and by using all the space available for their photographs. The plot is simply a wolf chasing a pig, but it stays interesting even though it's 4 minutes long as the developed photographs follow each other all over the surroundings which is entertaining and would require a lot of work. The ending is also very clever as it is what the entire animation is building up to and is quiet comedic. It also ties in with the very beginning of the animation (the envelope).
