Process
I have always wanted to explore stop-motion techniques and this was the perfect project to work on. I wanted the final video to be a collage-style video with gritty paper textures and effects. It mostly is a combination of stop-motion animation, frame-by-frame character animation, and digital collage with post-production done in After Effects.
Initially, the character animation was meant to be a cut-out drawing of each frame in a walk cycle which was then photographed into DragonFrame. After encountering some technical problems and doing some text shots, I decided to cut out the actual image of me and then make a frame-by-frame animation in After Effects.
