Recently I decided to have a go with stop motion animation, using myself.
This is not a string of photos, instead it is very small clips, edited from one part of film. For the beginning part I got up and jumped up and down, moving slightly each time. In the post edit I cut out most of the footage, leaving just the few milliseconds of me in the air.
I am quite happy with how this turned out, I have learnt a lot from practicing it. Muck like all animation, it takes a long time to create a small amount of work, it took about three hours of combined work to produce 30 seconds. It is also important to keep the time of each frame consistent with each over, I cut my attempt a little clumsily and it sometimes looks a little odd. It is also important to have a lot of frames, to ensure smooth animation.
It is also quite tiring to jump up and down over and over!
