Filming And Editing

Whist Rebecca and I were shooting the 3D Claymation Keiran was doing our 2D Stop-motion animation so we were time effective and stuck to our minutes of meetings. Once the equipment was set up by Brendan Rebecca and I were able to go in and make a start slowly transforming our model and getting raw footage. But first we had to angle the lighting to how we preferred trying to make the least amount of shadowing as possible as it would ruin the consistency because we have to shoot the next day as well and leave it over night. Once this was sorted we were ready to begin, slowly in tiny steps changing her profile in minuscule ways and shooting in 2's. If we didn't do this the speed of change would be to fast and we wouldn't retrieve enough footage to last through the voice over.

 Above and beside is me slowly sculpting the model. It tool alot of patience and very time consuming but for me I rather enjoyed it and didn't find it a burden. I had a strong picture in my mind of what I wanted to happen and just wanted to see the final outcome which I am really proud of.




Throughout filming there were not any major problems thank goodness, just some technical difficulties. On the second day of filming when we went into the room ready to begin again, our camera wasn't turning on and it was impossible to run out of battery as we were running through cables and plugs. So after Rebecca and I panicking Brendan managed to fix it. Later on me being me, (clumsy), tripped over the tripod moving the camera angle and turning of the camera again. But once again Brendan came to our rescue and everything was as good as new.

I had great difficulty trying to get her eyelids blinking because the clay was getting stuck to each other and moulding into one, so each time throughout shots I had to re-make the eyes from scratch pretty much, it was a nuisance but not a problem. Other than this everything ran smoothly and how it imagined it, even better.

Here is our raw footage we captured throughout our 2 full days of filming! ENJOY
