Entry 5- Stop Animation
This lesson, we started learning about the use of istopanimation. I came in late this lesson, so I really didn't have time to learn much.
First of all, the use of video. After taking a video with any device, you open it through istopanimation, and it creates a series of frames. To make it seem like a stopmotion, it was recommended to delete every second frame. A video does not necessarily have to be imported onto istopanimaton, it can be directly filmed on istopanimation. Mr Powell showed us an example by recording from his iphone and then using it to take a video of our class. This is probably not going to be useful unless the video is going to have human beings in it, which I do not want to have.
Second, we can export all frames as an image onto a folder, and then open it all at once in photoshop.
(Photoshop only opens 200 frames maximum) This allows the use of editing several images at once. This is a way to mask out green screen or add-in filters. We also learnt about the action button today, where we can record certain types of actions and then play it on different frames, anytime we wanted to. I think I would use this technique throughout the creation of my animation, as I'm leaning towards the idea of using green screen.
Lastly, we learnt that devices can be connected as a camera for the istopanimation app. Sadly, my phone cannot connect to the laptops as it is a Samsung, so I'll have to find other ways to films.
That's all that I learnt this lesson.
