After about a month of work (well more play than work) we as a group have finished our final Art, Design & Technology stop-motion animation project. It’s interesting how much of the project was just a result of improvisation rather than planning and following a script.
Anyway, the final product is very amateurish but we are proud of it. After all, our budget was 0 and we used my old Lego bricks to build the sets. We used a school video camera which we had to heavily duct tape to a tripod and then to the floor, a somewhat shaky school table, and no special lighting (as can be noticed by the strange shadows on the video).
For the stop-motion recording we used my MacBook and the great native frame-capturing program iStopMotion for OS X.
