While brainstorming for a storyboard for my IDD 301 class, I got side tracked (as usual) and thought it would be a good idea to see if I should plan to use any techniques we've seen in class. I was particularly fond of the stop action (stop motion) photography. If you've seen
"The Nightmare Before Christmas" you'll know what I'm talking about.
In my experiment I took several pictures of the little bottle of
Purell Hand Sanitizer with the idea in mind that I want it to appear to rotate in a movie.
In the short video clip there are 32 photos and at 15 frames per second it makes it just a slight bit over 2 seconds. I accidentally had the flash on my camera go off once which made it look like something went wrong in the movie clip. To help me in my process I used a mini tripod that I purchased for about
$5 from Wal-Mart. This thing is probably the best $5 I have ever spent and makes doing things like this a breeze.
Here is a link to the short clip.
