2D Stop Motion

Stop motion is a technique in animation making a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. Objects are manipulated using slight movements between frames, this creates the illusion of movement when the frames are played continuously.

Stop motion can be achieved in 2D or 3D using drawings or puppets/objects, and we produced two short animations using both these techniques.


We produced our 2D animation by starting off with two different drawings, by the end we will need 25 images to produce a 2 second clip (shooting on twos).
We used a light box to help us produce the images starting with number 12 using 1 and 25 as a guide, then developed the whole sequence from here.
When we had all 25 pictures we placed each under the camera and took two photos of each picture, and ended up with this.

 

This short animation shows the flower morphing into the man, although this technique is quite time consuming i liked the end result.
