Evaluating And Comparing Stop Motion Video




  • Why have you selected it? The reason i picked this is because it is a simple process but has a cool effect.
  • What is inspiring about it? It shows us that literally even for a bit of fun Anybody can create a animation using stop motion. 
  • What type of animation is it? The video is a stop motion which means that a picture is taken for a small movement and it will create a moving effect.
  • What sort of props/techniques have been used? In this video which was set in what looks like a college they just travelled down the corridors , with no props.
  • What could you try in your own work that is inspired by this? I like the idea of a gliding effect and moving backwards.




  • Why have you selected it? i selected this stop motion because it grabbed my attention the most , i like the idea that the possibilities are endless with it
  • What is inspiring about it? Most animations would be taken free hand but this is taken on a stand and also at a great height as it is taken at a arial view.
  • What type of animation is it? This is a stop motion
  • What sort of props/techniques have been used? This video has many items but to name a few : a bike , toy car , a lot of pillows , a train , a toy house and more.
  • What could you try in your own work that is inspired by this? Maybe being creative with the angles of how i shoot them as well as caring for what it looks like.

Food Item - Stop Motion


Using the ipads we were asked to perform the task of making a stopmotion using a food item.
To begin with we were given a random food object inwhich we would have to come up with a short less than a minute video clip advertising the given food item.
We were given the food item of a "egg" so we thought of a plot and storyline to do with this , we quickly came up with a simple story and then started creating characters and props. Obviously at the end we hard to have the egg being smashed , so we used the idea of a horrific car accident to portray this.

FINAL ANIMATION - Stop Motion Catwalk.



This is my final animation we were asked to advertise a product/brand based on one of the following contexts : fashion , technology , music or food. I decided to pick fashion , and as a result of this i decided to make a little cat walk using stop motion. I made the set by myself and also recreated real life designs for the brand "versace". In terms of music i decided to pick a song with a good walking beat as this is based on a catwalk show.
