(27) Stop Motion Time!

Hello everyone! :D So the diorama that I ordered last week for the stop motion animations finally came!

Ta da!!!!

This means I finally get to start working on my stop motion animations and finally get those shots out of the way! I was playing around with the box and some additional equipment that I'll need to get it done and everything is looking really nice. What I'm planning to do is use the lighting from the box and some colored LED lights for any other shots and then with drawings of figures that I made I'll be able to animate certain stages!

I'm planning to have the animated clips to represent my "headspace" and the character I include in it as myself attempting to navigate through the stages of my emotions. When it came to drawing the character I didn't want it to look like me, but rather a sort of 'identity', serving as a vessel for me to process what I'm feeling during the film (I'm really hoping that makes sense, it makes perfect sense in my brain but trying to type it down sounds pretty confusing, my apologies if that's the case). But anyways this means that I'm almost at the final stretch of the production stage!

Painting out all of the figures I'm going to need, I'll finish painting them and start working tonight!

I can feel that I'm nearing towards the end of this project and the thought of that is really relieving but at the same time a little weird. I guess I'm just really antsy about how this project is going to look once I'm finished with it all. Hopefully my vision will be translated, I'll keep you guys posted!
