The trouble with tripods is... you can see its legs in the photos!!
you can just see the tripod leg in the bottom left hand corner - this was the best shot I could get with my camera, the zoom etc. It's not too bad here but a little frustrating.
This is the video made using Premier Pro:-
Open Premier Pro. New Project.
File - NEW
Once file is opened go to EDIT - PREFERENCES - STILL IMAGE and set to 3 frames.
Remember when importing photos into Premier Pro to scale clips to Project dimensions:
in Premier Pro
PROJECT - PROJECT SETTINGS - GENERAL - Tick the 'Scale Clips to Project Dimensions' box.
In order to 'smooth' the running of the frames, RENDER the piece.
Save as a Premier file and also as an AVI file - so it can be uploaded to YouTube.
Things to consider today:
Hand-in date is 24th May - help!! A lot to do before then, then......
Need to:
- Do another more comprehensive storyboard and add details of any sound, text appearing, narration etc.
- Look at other low budget animation examples.
- Add colour to background.
I've started to make colour layers in PhotoShop
starting with subtle, soft colour. This will be copied onto acetate to slide into the scene gradually.
I made two more layers in PhotoShop, adding stronger colours each time.
The photographs will be taken over layered up background, acedate with rabbits on and coloured acetate layers gradually added in from each side of screen.
The last colour layer will be the strongest. I will probably copy these twice each onto acetate and cut one copy up/into two so that they can be introduced from each side into shot.
Layer as follows:
- Photograph background on bottom
- Clear acetate layer with rabbits placed on - on top
- Coloured layers slid in between the background and rabbit layers
- Could possibly add a layer of tracing paper with coloured acetates on top of that so that the black/white photo is eradicated by the end of the piece?
Looking at inexpensive cut out animation examples:
Here's a simple, black and white one - very effective - same background....
the following animation is again simple but very effective - lovely addition of subtle colour
