Editing and Stop Motion

For the last few weeks I have been focussing on using the cut out pictures and framing them using 'iStop Motion' an application for 'Apple' that once clicked the camera that is attached will take frames of what is in view. With this application we can create a stop motion video that will obviously show the person as being still images. With stop motion pictures it means that things that normally cannot be done can now be used, we can be much more creative such as underwater scenes including jellyfish and clown-fish. we can also use different transitions and 'stunts' such as Ben the actor being swept away by a tidal wave, being plunged down into the deep sea and then being saved by a lone fishing hook waiting for a catch. We have been able to film about 1 minute and 30 seconds of the video and with some lyrics on screen it should be just about finished  The font for our lyrics will be from a website called 'Da Font' named 'Avengers'. It is a bold contemporary font that is a part of dance/ drum n bass codes and conventions.

Below is just some of the work we have been doing these past few weeks,

This is the layout we are using it involves an Apple Mac with the iStop Motion software and camera, two lights on either side and a mini 'stage' like area where we can add and move different images or slide in new backgrounds.

This is the software we are using to piece together frames, we click the red button to capture a still image, we can then move the image slightly or add another to simulate Ben the person moving of carrying out an action

 This is the current setting we have the softwre on using the camera 'iSight' which is connected to the mac book.

 This is the bottom of the software layout, it takes count of how many frames there are and the total duration, we can select existing frames like so and replace, edit or delete them if required.

The third font, names Avengeance Heroicc Avenger is the font that we shall be using in our video as it is a new flashy and modern font that is relatable with many other dance/ dubstep videos.
