We began the second week of our film project with classes today. In every class, there has been a variety of things going on, just as would be happening on a real film set. Production is in full swing, as each class have been getting 1-2 shots per period. If we remember from the presentation last week, it takes a whole day to get roughly 30 seconds of footage. Since we’re only doing production class by class, each group is looking to get 3-5 seconds of shots in the final movie. If you also recall, we are using the Stop-Motion Animation technique. We take about 50 pictures per shot, and then play it back in about 2 seconds. I’ve heard responses such as “amazing” and “its like magic” after seeing the images put together.
