Test

I've got a an app on my phone that allows you to make stop motion animation and I've found it really usual to use when I have an idea that I'm not sure about. It allows me to test out ideas quickly too see if they work so i'm not wasting time on bigger projects where the end result falls flat.

Above are examples of a concept I had I wasn't sure about so I story bored it then used my phone to do a quick take to see how it could work.

I'm not saying these are good, even passable animations but for me its a more advanced version of thumb nailing that helps me get me ideas together.

This idea was unsuccessful, pacing aside I just don't like how it looks with ink, So I might go back to cutout models.

Animation spot light:

My house mate showed me this. It's really really cool. Awesome animation and mood building and it's just really up my street. Above and beyond anything I can do but I'm sure it'll help somewhere down the line. I much prefer watching animations than actually creating them.
