Stop-motion experiment.

I made this short stop-motion for a quick experiment on my webcam at the start of the project just to see if I would be any good at making my FMP a stop-motion film.  In the end I went with live action. The reason why I am only just now posting it was that I did not have the stills for in at my house.

Things I have learn that stop motion needs a lot of time and is not easy but worth it in the end. Also very small movements are needed for in to look smooth and fluid. I feel I could of experimented a bit better with it though as I only use one camera angle which in turn could of made the film not as good along with the moments which could of done with being a lot smaller. Even though it did not turn out as good as I would have liked I am please with the idea of it as I find the story to be funny, but you do end up feeling sorry for the fruit.

Human Skateboard Review

Stop motion video created by PES

Human Skateboard is a short 29 second stop motion film for Sneaux skateboarder shoes (http://www.sneauxshoes.com/) made by PES. It is about this “skater dude” who is on top of this other person who is lying on the floor pretending to be a skateboarded. With excellent sound effects of a skateboard skating and fluid movements he and his human skateboard skate around doing cool tricks. I looked at this short film as I hope to use a type of stop motion in my films and FMP.


My opinion of the use of stop motion and overall affect and style is that it was a very well thought out and planed short that delivers a outstanding idea with realistic sound effects which adds to how successful it is. The affect it has on you is “wow” as it makes you think how did they do that? Did it hurt? How was the sound done so well in sink? All great questions that I think are needed for a good stop motion as it shows it is an original, fresh and is impressive as it is not just a person skating normally, he is on a person skating. Also it is not just one location but 6 different ones. Lastly all the different camera angles make sure there is never a dull moment. It is griping, fun, existing, fascinating.
