Heres where I'm up to with my stop-motion video.
I followed this tutorial for the technical specs, however I've decided to go with 4-frames-per-photo instead of 3. I'm using DV-PAL settings which runs at 24fps, so that works out as 6 frames-per-seconds, which isn't too shabby at all... however it does mean I need to take a lot of photos for each scene. I've worked out that the video so far consists of around 560 photos.


I still need to do the ending in which Nigel is reconciled with his shoelace friend after been shocked by an evil USB cable and waking up from a dream.

I'm also thinking of re-doing a couple of the scenes to normalise the lighting and maybe changing the framing/composition.

Here are some videos I've been looking at as an inspiration for my stop motion video:





Wild Laces from Morten Hauge on Vimeo.



Boots from Mike Foy on Vimeo.

Print Induction

Heres some of the work we did in our print induction groups. I really enjoyed myself, I found that I understood the process a lot better than when it was explained at Vernon Street... probably because I was too scared to ask Roger any questions in case he would bite my head off! I do feel a lot more confident about screen-printing now and I think I'll be making use of it a lot more from now on.

What is a line? - 3 Rules.

1. Can only use stop-motion/video
2. Frame rate minimum of 8fps
3. Main subject must be shoes/shoelaces
