Stop Motion Animation of Falling

Planning for this project was pretty hard. I wanted to go for something creative, but somehow simple. I then referenced a ball drop that will eventually bop Megatron (t-rex) on the head. Shooting the beginning and the end of the clip was fun. I didn't really have plan a beginning or the end, but that was the most creative part I think. But taking pictures of the ball drop was very hard. I had my sister help me out with a ball hanging on a black string and stick. It was so hard just trying to keep the ball steady and making sure it was aligned with my camera's plan because just a little movement would make it sway. I drew on my camera's screen so the ball could be aligned. We had to have done it 3 times just strait through. I then started playing around with the images on Adobe Premier and started to add more frames and took out some for the drop. The music is from the Beast Wars animated series and so are the action figures. This project was pretty fun. I really wish I had more time to play around with the ball drop, but I'm happy for now.
