It's probably a little disheartening that this was the first thing I thought of for "Soup"...
I wish I had some creative input in the editing of this video. This is what I get for letting Matt do his thing. Seinfeld and eternal darkness at the end. Not even any joke credits.
This project was quite the harrowing experience (although that is a bit of an exaggeration). Stop-motion is a medium that should be reserved for artists and filmmakers with either unexhaustable patience or a passion for torturing themselves. The most difficult section to animate was "Overlapping Action and Exaggeration". Specifically, we had trouble showing the guy run off screen quickly. We couldn't really find the right amount of time that the "running lines" should be shown for, so the action doesn't seem very clear. It also probably took the most amount of time to film. The easiest rule to film was "Straight Ahead" since all we needed to do was animate a worm moving, which really isn't that intricate. Now to talk about all of the rules we didn't do beacuse we're terrible and ran out of time. If we had more time, for "Secondary Action" we would have someone walking down the steet confidently while holding a boombox on their shoulders (like the 80s. Beacuse that's totally what they were like). For "Timing" we would have done a race between the tortoise and the hare, but their speeds are reversed. For "Solid Drawing" we would have had a person in the background getting knocked into the foreground (kind of like Wile E. Coyote). "Appeal" would have applied to the tortoise and the hare or even the ant in "Staging." Of course, this is completly hypothetical because we probably wouldn't have been able to finish these even if we had more time. We're inefficient like that. |
