Editing and sound


Intro Scene


I Animated the Intro scene on Toonboom Harmony, using frames from our stop motion in the background as the stars


Third and Final Day Shooting



Today we shot the scenes on Nuts planet, we had issues with the magnets not getting through the thick layers of wool, however when we added more magnets this problem resolved itself. For Nut's planet, Malcolm animated and I operated the camera




Second Day Filming 27/11/15


Second Day filming we finished off Bolts scenes, taking turns at animating and operating the camera, we had a few issues with the jump and the kick but were solved with fishing line, Im not happy that the fishing line has come up on the final shots, however, this is a small compromise to get the story we wanted.




First Day of Filming 26/10/15



First day of filming Malcolm and I set up the lights and camera settings,
we shot the first scenes on Bolts Planet with me animating the camera being operated by Malcolm.

We ran into a few problems but all were sorted out rather quickly

Jelly bean StopMotion




One of the hardest things about stop motion is finding the patience to make sure everything is perfect, this video inspired me as the background is hundreds of jelly beans made into a scene, it demonstrates the immense patience needed to create the vision of a stop motion animation.

Making of 



Props and worlds

We have been working on the small props for our stop motion animation and have finished the asset list. Today we will begin shooting


I made the tree for the final scene from wire then paper machet. After this i wrapped it in brown wool and hung green wool from the branches, I think it suits Nuts planet well.

Malcolm and I made Nuts planet from layers of wool, we will have an issue with their feet not magnetizing to the metal underneath as it is so thick, however this should be solved with a stronger magnet underneath the base
