Vimeo

As I can't work out how to upload videos on here, I've gone back to my Vimeo account, so check for new videos and I'll keep updating it as much as I can with any new little animations I make.

Take a look -------> here.

Here's a few to start off.. they're very short and there's plenty wrong with them, but they're a start! (take a look at my vimeo account for a few more)

From the several hours it took to take the photos and edit these, (yes. animation does take FOREVER. but i still love it :) )  but I've realised a few very important points....

• It makes a massive difference if the camera isn't completely steady - instead of an effective edgy finish, it makes looks a little bit too amateur - I need to make sure I use the tripod, I mean Gorillapod, (oh yes... it arrived today!!)
• On two of the little animations (see the Vimeo account), there's a camera flash every so often - so i need to make sure I control the lighting, by either taking the flash off completely or ensuring I have other lighting set up ready.
• Also, the markings on the plasticine show up really obviously, i need some more equipment for the actual models if I want to acheive a higher level of quality.
• Finally, watching these little clips back makes me realise I'm missing out the sound, which I think is really important; it provides much more of an experience to the piece, it makes the animation mean a something more than just a play around with some photographs.

I've got a lot of work to do....
