Stop-Motion Character Animation



Using the set up seen above, Neal Salud [http://nealphys123.blogspot.com] and I created the short film "Dennis and Pig".  We initially took time in modeling objects/characters from clay, to get an overall feel of the medium.  While I finalized our story, Neal finished the characters.  When filming, Neal and I took turns when animating and shooting our shots.  "Dennis" was made to be able to articulate sufficient motion, but simple enough that animating him would become cumbersome.  Using the a tripod with an iPhone, sketchbook, and paper,  Neal and I were able to create a heart warming story of a clay boy overcoming a barrier to unite with his friend.
