Week Eight Assignment 1

8/1 Stop Motion Animation

This is my stop motion animation based on the idea that "you can get what you want just by typing it into the machine!". To be honest, I cannot find my tripod for my phone so I had to hold the phone manually instead (sad)...

Process:
       When I came up the idea that I want to make a money machine, I started to think what kind of machine it is and what else it can do. So I chose type machine and want to record the images of I typing "money" on that machine to make money.

      Step one: Draw this machine!


I prepared a blue pen and a piece of paper and copy what type machine looks like.

      Step Two: Prepare all the thing I need in this shooting

All I need is my hand which will type the letter into the machine, money which will be the thing "coming out of the machine", and the "machine" itself.

       Step Three: Shooting!


  All you need in the beginning is moving your hand slowly and slowly to each letter and don't forget to write down the letter when you point on it.
  When you type all the five letters, put one piece of paper money to cover "money" to show the process of "making money" then record. And then put another one on the board and then record...After tens of time, thumb up to show your satisfaction!

      Step Four: Reviewing 

      Please review and double check if you record every details before you export the gif, otherwise you will find there is something missing and the action would not be as smooth as you want. If you find anything missing, record it at the same place at the same height (or if you have tripod you can just put your phone back to the tripod) then implant the pics at the place you miss. 

      Step Five: Done!!!!

      Share the gif with your friends and have hun in the process:)

  1. Thanks of sharing this project with us, I want your money machine so bad, haha. I like that it has a sense of humor behind it and the way it incorporate the elements of the typewriter into the machine is creative. It would be better if you can add some background sound to it.

  2. I loved this idea because you had a concept for the project, but didn't have an actual money machine, so you used your creative intellect to make one instead! This project makes me wonder if you might be able to explore other things that don't "physically" exist in our world and create them through drawings in a manner similar to how you created the money machine!

  3. The idea of the money machine is pretty interesting. I like that 不by using stop-animation technique, the "machine" can actually be produced and show us the process of how it works. And make think of the meaning of stop motion animation is to produce pieces that may relate to our real world but not yet exist. I think you can add some scenes to the end of project, making the story more compelling.
