Stop Motion ~ "Road Kill Flowers"

This is a web version of the stop mo' short film experiment.

This time I converted the AVI file to an FLV and uploaded to Blip.tv.

I think the most challenging part of making a stop motion film is animating the pauses (the 'mah'). There is such a compulsion to move the puppet on every frame when in the animating groove. This film could have used a pause, a moment of reflection, once the bird is buried. So the puppet doesn't die, an eye movement and maybe pushing some facial clay into a subtle expression change would have worked.

ANIM8 - Cat With Many Skins

In 2007 a collaboration of 1st year animation students at SBIT decided to make a film.

The result was "Cat With Many Skins".

The story was based on a 19 year old shop assistant who starts to realise his part-time job is becoming his permanent gaol.

The final film did not make the cut for the Tropfest competition, so it is available to view.

My sequence is the one with the creepy staring guy as the messenger.
