The Process of a Final Idea

By looking at all experiments we created, we decided that we're going to use a completely different technique from what we have used before. Firstly, we thought of using a human hand, which would be the character. However, as we were going along with the idea, we didn't like the outcome of it, so we started to think of another, different concept to create our stop frame animation.
Then I thought that we could use the body, instead of a hand and make it interesting and creative. We looked at different video clips which show body painting in a stop motion.

This video is a great example of something we want to create. It involves body painting, which actually runs very smoothly and it is a quite successful video. It represents a woman, who's face and top part of her body is painted in different colours, shapes etc. what relates to the title of the clip, 'Identity'. It could mean that she doesn't know what her identity is and she is searching for it. 

I personally think that this is a really incredible video. Everything seems to be considered really well and that includes lighting, background, colours and sound.

Another video, which is actually a music video called, 'Somebody That I Used To Know'. To create this clip, they used stop frame animation in some parts to make it more realistic. I really like how they colours are used and how art is combined together with human bodies. I was hugely inspired by this video and I wanted to use a similar style when producing our stop frame.
