I have decided to create a stop motion animation using photography, to see how the whole process works. However this will not be in keeping with my theme of idioms as I am mainly interested in seeing the logistics of the process, and so have decided to photograph my room being tidied. I plan to make very minor adjustments between each photograph to ensure that the film runs smoothly. However I don't feel that a storyboard will be necessary for this particular animation as I will see what can be altered and moved around on the day. One of the main things I will be concentrating on will be the amount of photographs taken. I predict that to create a minute long animation I will have used around 400 photographs, and this is the main thing I wanted to focus on as I will be developing these photographs for my final piece.
Something that I've thought about is whether or not to use a tripod or not. I think that some of the angles used will be awkward and so may have a better outcome if recorded free-form to ensure I capture all the movement and can frame the images how I see fit. I imagine the piece will only be around 30 seconds long, which is something I am interesting in finding out as it seems that there is a lot of work going into such a short animation. There are some similar videos on the internet with the same content that I can use as a reference, as following. I decided on this idea before I researched it as I thought it was the best storyline to use without it actually having to be too detailed. It would also not require any specialist equipment or researches so I would be able to do it in my own time, and I think it's the perfect compromise for a first draft.
