Final Video

I am very happy with my final video. This project gave me some new knowledge not only about the stop frame animation but about the importance of materials and editing as well.

However, I still see some things I would like to improve.

• I used 500 pictures for this video (a bit more then my last one) and yet I still fell that I could have used some more. After putting them all together I noticed that some parts of the video could have been better and smoother with more frames in there. Unfortunately I can't just shoot those pictures that I need. I would need to start the whole clay building from the beginning.
• I could have checked the quality of the pictures better. After uploading my pictures into the computer I noticed that some of them were not focused (the clay figures were blurred while the background was in a very good quality). I had to edit each of them with photoshop and yet they still did not look so good.
• Furthermore, after editing this video I decided that it would have been better if I was shooting these photos with some extra space around them. Now my photos did not need any cropping - the platform fit in the shot perfectly. But if I would have had bigger pictures after uploading them all in Adobe Premier I could have zoomed them in for the exact frame size. Now my video has these two black strips on the sides and I could have avoided this.

All in all, I am happy with the results and I will definitely try to create more stop frame animation videos in the future.
