Stop motion animation involves physically manipulating 3D objects frame-by-frame to create the illusion of movement.
Stop motion has come a long way and covers a range of media from big budget feature films to homemade digital exihibitions.
Stop motion animation remains an incredibly popular medium for creative individuals to work in, despite the competition from digital animation. Budgets can be kept extremely low and the impossible can be made possible without the need for hours behind a computer rendering frames of computer-generated imagery and the expense of software.
Released in 2009, this video has become a huge hit on YouTube. It features a woman lying on her bed occasionally joined by her partner. The creativity is astounding with the woman taking a journey through wind storms, clouds and falling underwater and swimming, all created with pillows, sheets and careful movements of the performers. The video consists of 'roughly 3225 still photos... using one camera, hanging from the ceiling' and 'took only 2 days of shooting.'
22 months, 1,357 hours, 30 people, 2 ladders, 1 still camera, 288,000 jelly beans. This is an extreme case of stop motion. However, all the hard work and effort has payed off with a truly magnificent video.
Stop motion would be a very interesting and different way to have my music video. I would try and follow the forms and conventions of other music videos as this would guide me to create a better video and improve the crispness of the stop motion.
