Stop Motion Video
My animation is just about my kitchen coming alive at night, this was pretty much plan B. I started taking pictures for my first idea and it wasn't coming together how I wanted it to, so I came up with this idea! I just used my tripod to stabilize my camera, and I had to bring in a giant lamp so I would have enough light because I was shooting this at night and the lights in my kitchen are not very bright.
I love the idea of inanimate objects "coming to life", although there is quite a big of work involved in order to get it just right. I had to delete a few shots because I kept getting anxious and taking pictures before my whole body was actually out of the frame. I think it turned out pretty successful! The conflict is just that the objects that move around at night don't always go back to where they originally were, so whoever comes into the kitchen next is left with a weird feeling that someone (or something) was in their kitchen while they were sleeping. Obviously the resolution is that eventually the objects are returned to where they came from, but then the cycle starts over again.

I really enjoyed watching the inanimate objects move around your kitchen. I especially enjoyed watching the cupboard doors opening and the glasses ,plates and bowls moving around inside. I liked the ending sequence when you come into the kitchen and find the two sponges on the floor!
ReplyDeleteNice work! I enjoy that you were able to take an everyday, banal environment like the kitchen and create something visually interesting and entertaining!
