First try at Stop-Motion Animation

So, how's your holidays? (: Hope it's good.

Well, lately, I've just discovered "stop-motion" animation and therefore I tried doing it. 

A stop-motion animation (also known as stop action) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. -Wikipedia.

Normally, stop-motion animation is done with clay/plasticine figures or Lego.

Well, in my case I did using my drawing of my stickman! :p

And the end-result is this. Do watch it. (: 

Yes, mine looks more like a photo-story or a slideshow. :/
This is because I lack smaller movement details and more shots. (if that's the right word for it :P )
This clip only consists of 58 photos altogether. 


It's actually quite simple, but a little time-consuming to do.
All you need is: 

• a camera, (preferably with a small tripod attached to it) 
• an object you want,(e.g. clay figure, Lego, stationery & etc; up to your imagination! :p)
• a brightly lit room, 
• a simple movie-making software (e.g. Windows Moviemaker will do) 
• and of course yourself.

You can search on "how to make motion-stop animation" or you could click here.


I might try to do a much better one in the future. :D
