Final Project / Stop Motion
In April 22 Week 1, We are tasked to list down our favorite stop motion and give our rationale
Video 1: Madame Tutli-Putli
I liked how the film effectively shows how the main character is suffering
from anxiety by having shots of the character showing that she is scared as
she was placed in a claustrophobic train cabin.
Video 2: Lost & Found
I thought the short film was quite creative and friendly. The main
characters are basically knitted toys that gives a childlike friendly warm
and fuzzy feeling. The creative part was it effectively used the medium of
the characters to tell the story.
Video 3: Bench
I felt the ending was unexpected as the shots of the heavily set character
turning against the lighter set character. At the end the lighter character
was eaten by the heavier character.

In around May 13, Week 4 we are supposed to indicate the medium for stop
motion and to choose to work in solo or pair, I prefer to use clay to
create the characters, and I prefer working as a pair for this project.
The final project involves Stock Motion video. We had option to complete
the project solo or in pairs. The duration for the Stock Motion video for
solo attempt is 30 seconds and for pair work it has to last to as long as a
minute.
Brainstorming Ideas
I chose to pair up with Tan Xin Yi. We assigned roles on how to complete
the project, I was to prepare a storyboard and Xin Yi will create the
characters. Our rough discussion was to have two characters. I proposed a
draft story to Xin YI just to gather her thoughts and opinions via WhatsApp.
She agreed with my rough ideas. I then proceeded to write the storyboard.
Shooting
We used an app called Stop Motion Studio on our phones to shoot the stock motion. We mainly shot our scenes in the design studio. We arranged meetings on the availability of our time.
The story we have initially agreed upon has gone through changes, listening to Mr Martin’s feedback. The total length of the Stop Motion was 45 seconds, and we still required 15 seconds to complete the project.
The final cut of the story with Mr. Martin’s feedback we added a
comedic twist to it. The finale is where the initial tall guy being
envious of the short guy’s spurt in height ate the magic apple and he
then shrunk in size!

Editing
Xin Yi
confessed, she is not really good at editing, thus I decided to take up the
role to do all the edits and to lengthen the video to the required 1 minute.
Part of the editing, we are also required to input the music and sound
effects

FEEDBACK
- Plan length of time to each of the scene
- Suggest that the first scene where the bully looks down at the short guy
- Suggest that the last scene the short guy tap on the bully's shoulder. The bully looks socked, and the short guy squash him.
- The video needs to be extended to 1 minute
- The ending is anti-climactic make the scene more interesting
-
Discuss together as a group to extend the scenes
