Stop Motion Progress

Week 1 Production

We managed to find alot of materials though salvaging local recycling that businesses put out on the road at night, we also managed to aquire the Hesian cloth and various other cardboard / paper materials through Vaughn's requisition form and process.


We were mostly focused on planning and scale at this phase to work out our starting point.

------------------------

Week 3 Production:

We managed to get all of our cardboard in to start work, unfortunately i'm by myself so im processing the cardboard and experimenting with building types to make it easier for the team later.



-------------------------------
Week 4-5 Production:

Knowing our scale we're working on props to give an interesting background to the animation.


The robot is mostly finished.

------------------------


Buildings have been finished, but the robot has hit a hitch, losing it's legs, we're having to improvise to work out how to effectively give it the same presence, Reuben is using a hover platform approach and it is working well. Having no gluesticks left, and the $2 shop ones dont fit or get hot enough, is a real toll on production but we're working out things through folding / slits, using aperture wire to hold things together and masking tape.


------------------------


The environment is ready to go, we've worked out that the Hesian cloth works excellently as a as a base and everything is together able to be filmed.


------------------------


Reuben and I are ready to Film, I got out the camera, but unfortunately our area is now locked.


------------------------

Reuben managed to find David to unlock our area, we started filming but having issues with making the camera film at a set light in manual mode, not much was filmed but Reuben and I know what we need to do.


------------------------

Reuben and I are back, worked out how to take pictures in the low light on manual, needed to lower ISO and increase the aperture. Entire filming is complete in this one day.



------------------------

Editing now, me and Reuben are hard at work getting this finished.


------------------------

Reuben is finishing off the project with sound and Title Sequences.
