STOP MOTION

Searching through youtube at different stop motion videos, and trying to tack down an idea was extremely difficult. There is a wide range of things you can accomplish through stop motion and I realized this as I looked through all the different videos that exist online. I was especially intrigued by the post it note stop motion, and illustrated stop motion and wanted to somehow do both. Not realizing that I had chosen the most difficult ways to create a stop motion video I went ahead and came up with this wonderfully complicated and loosely autobiographical story that I would bring to life. Starting off, I realized how difficult it would be to do my original story, it would have taken me too long to finish, and had to cut it in half. The new ending was not as fitting as the old ending but there was no way that i could accomplish what I wanted to without taking forever to do it. All in all, I could have done a much better job. I think that at times the drawing and illustration was not on par with my normal abilities and I regret using post-it notes as paper....not ideal. I was thoroughly impressed by the other stop motion videos and the effort that people put into them. This inspired me to want to make another stop motion, using a medium other than post-it notes and pencil.
