Stop Motion production diary and evaluation

Lesson one 

The idea I have for my first stop motion animation is to create a time lapse drawing of either a Disney cartoon character or a famous person. This is the idea most likely to happen, however it seems quite simple compared to what animation can consist of.




Another idea that is a possibility is creating an animated music video, such as Taylor Swift's lyric video for eyes open.


If I were to do the lyric video idea i think I would do it on the song Runaway by The Vamps or Burn by The Vamps, as they both have quite a lot of imagery in them.
I am also considering model animation, and I am going to start looking at examples of lego animation as I am unable to use the clay due to allergies.
Lesson two 
Idea One- Lyric video a song which is to be determined.
I took inspiration from the lyric video for Eyes open by Taylor Swift.

I like the idea of using paper, however if I was to do this idea I would use more drawings to represent words. 
Idea Two- Time Lapse Drawing of either a famous person or a disney character.

Idea 3- create a story using lego blocks to make the characters and the sets.

Lesson three
My final idea is to produce a lyric video for a song which is not yet detemined. I am in the process of elimination. The lyric video will be paper based.

I Found a Girl by The Vamps has a simple concept through the lyrics ('I found a girl who's in love with a girl') and could easily be very symbol/picture based which is what I wanted. I have begun to see where I could fit pictures into the lyrics.

Lesson four
I have decided on the song for the lyric video- I found a girl by The Vamps.
I have looked through font generator sites to get ideas of how to write the lyrics, and I have test drawn some.






Lesson five
This week I continued work on the font design, and printed the official Vamps logo out to use as a background.
The final product

When it came to the deadline, I didn't feel like I had enough time to do the lyric video well so I switched ideas back to the timelapse drawing of the famous person and drew Levi Jones from the Tide. I recorded the animation on my Ipad with these settings:

This is the final product.
