THANK YOU!


Our Final Project for Intro to Digital Media I last semester was to make a video using iMovie. It can be an actual film video, animation w/ Photoshop, or stop-motion animation (continuous still frames).

I chose to make a Stop-Motion Animation using a bjd (ball-jointed doll) and Shiro, the, uhm, mouse/hamster/rodent. xD And man, was it HARD! >_< My prof gave no tips whatsoever. So all i did was trial and error since I've never done this before. >_>

This is mostly conceptual: interpret-it-as-you-wish kind of thing.

All frames were taken by me, by myself. All are Still Frames in Sequence. I was using a Nikon D80 with a Tamron 28-80mm lens. And a tripod and reading lamp. Yes, a yellow-bulb reading lamp with a bendy head (Thanks uncle! xD). All props were either made or bought. Those bought come from Daiso. ;3

As rough and sketchy as this seems, I am proud of this little video. Especially of the 'drawing of the moon' part. Little smooth calligraphy there~ x3 I Photoshoped EVERY FRIGGIN' FRAME of that scene backwards. >_> (the moon was already there, just had to erase it frame-by-painful-frame.) I was so confident it would be easy... Such an idiot. LOL. Well, it looks easy, it sounds easy, BUT when actually done, reality reminds you that why yes, there are shadows on the paper you're editing. =__= AND there are shadows on the wall too! and they are moving along with the action. <--had to edit my hand out in the scenes where he's bending to reach the box. >_>

As for the model... uhm... that's Rin... he kinda had to "dress up" for me since i don't own any girl MSDs... *swtdrp* ehehe...
