Stop motion animation


We have all seen stop motion at some point, its the art of stopping motion, in a quite literal sense. We stop motion, capture it, adjust and capture, rinse and repeat. The difficulty of this is what do we stop and capture? In today's lesson we learned how to design and create a wire character, as simple as it sounds it presents a few challenges. Given enough time any fool can transform a wire into a potentially believable character (depending on your imagination of course) but in order to animate, a wire character needs certain characteristics such as the ability of standing on his/her own two feet or even sitting down and bending the metal in a way it doesn't wear out over time. our final result came to this


A proud moment as my creation sits unassisted. He has this strength due to the home-made bones he has which were creating with wooden coffee stirrers and masking tape, this allows him to have strength and the ability to animate realistically to some extent.
