When I first started this module I was so motivated and so determined that I was going to paint the characters on glass green screen. I could picture the process so throughly in my head. However as I started to get onto my second and third storyboard I actually decided I didn't want to, because I was already falling out with module. I just don't think I'd of had the patience to paint the characters. I didn't love them enough. Also I could already predict problems with this method, reflection from lights, alignment issues, possible residue. Paint with a shine reflects light so it would be crucial to get the lighting right otherwise it'd end up like this stopmotion.
and I saw this one
Oil Painting Animation Demo Reel 2013 from Xin Li on Vimeo.
And it just put me off I think it would just be such a struggle at this stage, I think it's something I need to have a project I really really love and lots of time to devote to it.
So then I had some other idea's one idea was to do it like the John Lewis Christmas advert where they printed out the characters on card and created a stop motion that way. Again I didn't even need to test it to know that you going to have allignment issues and be really patient and use software like dragon frame to do it properly and build sets. I also thought about printing them on something like acetate and painting them to keep in theme with Oliver Jeffers Style. But with it being easter and the end of the financial year I didn't get my act together in booking printing resources.
I am in awe of this advert, I've talked about it in more depth in another module but I'll just reiterate what a horrible song choice! Sound is something I need to discuss next.
