Animation-tastic!
Hello! It’s been a while since we updated but we’ve been feverishly working on the editing, the music, the visuals and even an animation for the end credit sequence. So apologies for not getting back to you sooner.
After the shooting was complete we jumped right in on the editing. We definitely managed to get the coverage although you always want more with hindsight but the story is king and that’s covered, so kudos all round for that one. We’ve been noodling with some visual effects but in actual fact we’re laying off for the most part. The film has taken on quite an organic feel and we’re starting to feel like adding in FX for the sake of it is a big no no on this one.
We did however decide a while ago that we wanted to include a stop motion sequence for either the opening titles or the end credits and so we set about doing that. We set up a pretty simple but charming sequence using props from the film and animated using a Canon DSLR, Macbook and Dragon Stop Motion (if you ever need to do any stop motion, then use this software, it’s awesome!).
It took a day, which is probably fairly quick in stop motion terms, but the end result is cool. We added some FX afterwards just to give it an other-worldly feel and we’re really happy with the result. There are some photos below of the set up.
We’ll be back soon with a music special. x
