For our first project, we are going to make stop-motion animation. Marissa, Hazel and Lily form a group and discuss about the theme. In the very beginning, we planned to make a video about food and cat fur. However, when we were eating lunch, we changed our mind and decided to make a video about Lily’s original character, Red-Hearted Sweet Potato.
The photos show our production progress and how we make this video. We used clay to create the sweet potato and paper to draw the decoration, also, we bought the dishcloth in wet market. The figure, Link is friendly sponsored by Hazel!!
Making stop-motion animation is more time-consuming than we thought. We used a lot of time to make the sweet potato and the decorations. We used foam to support the paper for standing. It is difficult to change the motion of sweet potato as the decorations behind keep falling down, very hard to maintain the consistency throughout the video. Thats why we have a strong sense of achievement after we finish the whole animation.
