Matt and Sol’s Favourite Things 02 – The Making Of
Episode 2 of Matt and Sol’s favourite things (Robot edition) is available. The highlight is some animation using stop motion and a rubbery robot toy.
The spoken part of the video was produced using the Macbook’s iSight webcam. The animated clip was made in iStopMotion by importing 110 photos from my Pentax K100D DSLR. I perched the DSLR above a white background holding it still with a cardboard frame in which I cut a hole for the camera lens to poke through. The white balance is very bad possibly because I covered one of the camera’s sensors, I’m not sure. I fixed it up a little bit in iMovie which also cropped it rather heavily. I’ll have to sort out the aspect ratio so I get something compatible with Youtube for future efforts. I also looped some of the sequences in iMovie to flesh it out a bit because I only had about 9 seconds total at 12 fps.
Soundtrack is “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” by Daft Punk (but off the Discovery album, not the Alive album as I may have misled you to believe)
