OUGD603 / Stop Motion Promo Video / Live Brief / External Collaborative Brief / Evaluation

Stop Motion Promo Video / Live Brief / External Collaborative Brief

Evaluation

This was a short yet labour intensive brief. The decision to create a stop motion animation using a plasticine model was a new challenge to both of us so we had to learn quickly on the job. This is something I have always been interested and think this was the best way to learn, or at least get an introduction to this process. 

Looking into stop motion animations such as Morph and Wallace and Gromit was hugely inspiring as they set the standard immensely high. As this was a small brief we gave ourselves one day to shoot the whole sequence meaning ours is clearly at a very beginner's standard, although referring back to the professionals and reading about the processes and techniques they use was very helpful.

The brief was to create a fun video that the night ‘Soul Control’ (branding is an octopus) can share on social media to gain interest for the night. I believe the brief was well met as feedback from the animation was positive and it attracted a lot of attention to the night Soul Control was putting on.


This brief also allowed me to learn and explore a new skill (stop motion with model making) which I was completely new to. I would like to develop this skill further and create something to a higher standard in the future.
