Editing...

So Ive finall finished all the stop-motion aspects I think... Now im putting it all together! Ive sorted out all the timings of the frames in Premiere Pro! =D But whats next is the part im not so happy confident with... After Effects...

For my flying bugs I decided id be clever and try and edit out the backgrounds then composite onto a background... Well its alot harder then first thought, and photshopping out all the backgrounds and converting to a PNG in the original frames is a long enough procedure... not including then editing them in after effects... And the deadline is getting closer =S

Heres an example of me editing the bugs;



So when I get the backgrounds I then put them into after effects onto a background...



I still also need to composite the sky into the shots aswell as some of the hand sections when it comes to the planting montage =S Eep! Its all taking alot longer then I thought... And really starting to panic now...

Flash!

Something that has gone well is my flash imagination sequence in my opinion. I animated it without any hitches... Just editing it into the actual film now! Just thought id show you how it ended up! I was pleased with how smooth id managed to make it =D

Here it is;

Filming once again...

So im filming once again... Oh the joy! I thought I ought to give you some photos of my new setup =) But alls going well... Kinda running out of time but still quite confident!

The search for a better Camera...

Right so Im kinda panicing now! I have been unable to find a camera that I can use with a better picture... The camera I was planning to use I have discovered that I cant use with stop-motion pro... So what to do?!

Heres examples of the difference the camera I wanted to use would of made!



As you can see the difference in bringing out the colours is staggering!!! Im gutted the camera wont work... I dont know what to do now!

Thankfully though my friend Jess has come to the rescue! She is a photography student, and said i could borrow her super good camera, which has a shutter release cable to make my film with =D This way my plan will be to set up the shots with her camera, then I can film at the same time with the old camera and stop-motion pro to test the animation. Then import all of the photos taken on hers afterwards to create a sequence with a wonderful picture!

Heres an example of the difference her camera has made =)



I feel it brings a new lease of life to the image! Now to carry on filming!!! =D
