Walking to Work '12

So I decided to do another Time Lapse of me walking to work. I took a photo every 6 steps (plus a few videos along the way). This one worked out alot better than my first (incidently my first You Tube video - but not my first made) It worked out pretty smooth, better than I expected actually which it usually the way right. Aim low - hit higher!?

I've got two more videos to add, both are Lego Time Lapse and Stop Motion: Most people do a straight time lapse but I try to add a "bit of life" to them.

"Alien Conquest"

This was made with cardboard cut-outs.
I filmed the cars with the background upright.
The UFO's were filmed with the background flat on the table.
The fire was filmed in the backyard....

Rotoscoping

Here's the 2 rotoscoping animations I recently finished:

I don't mind that one but it is kinda "lazy". I much prefer the second one I animated:

Alot better detail :D

"Slice Of Hand LEGO Stop Motion

This is my latest animation. (Yes, once again with Lego. But hey - it ain't Star Wars so get over it haha.... although my next maybe after watching Robot Chicken Star Wars 3) I totally prefer Stop-Mo. Not sure why but it is a beacon I shall sail my boat towards and either sink or grab as many short-shorts as I can and swim for it (obviously a Simpsons reference :D) This is so far my best effort. Some of the stop-mos I've done have been purely photo based (800-8000-ish) but when using dialogue a single photo can be used. I don't think dialogue cheapens it (look at all the common shows eg Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, American Dad) they all use single frames with just the mouths moving. Something I never noticed until I starting studying it. I dunno where this rant is going ecxept that it is making me really enjoy my new chosen career path :D

"The Park" Lego Stop-Motion

Gday, been a while but this is the latest from me....
Now I know Ian hates us using the word "crappy" to describe our animations but this time I have a legitimate cause for arguement....


After a chat in class with Zade about how crappy videos always get the hits whereas the good ones get left behind.... so I guess I can use the word 'dodgy' then....haha
I'm not saying this is a good one either haha. The camera shakes are annoying but have since been solved with a remote control which I can also use to do pixilations with now as well. :D

I hope the link works.... I used Flash entirely for the project this time, it makes lip-sync alot easier as it can be done in real time - something I haven't been able to do until now. :D I had issues with the sound files but after a few days I worked it out. Starting to build the set for the next one....
