For this assignment, I teamed up with Justin Ho to create this. He provided the Gundam, (the robot) and I provided the Rider (the grasshopper-looking guy). We initially came up with a story and storyboarded it out, with 4 characters making an appearance. However when we got to shooting it, problems arose where the stands we were trying to use were not doing its job and the figures wouldn't balance.
So we then just simplified it and it made it so much easier.
Justin did the moving of the characters and I handled the camerawork. After we finished shooting everything we needed, Justin and I worked on syncing the audio and video together, and the final result is above.
Doing this, I learned stop-motion requires A LOT of planning, even more so than traditional and 3D animation in my opinion. But in the end, I generally had fun doing it. Plus it is nice to see things come to life.
