Day 02

Heyheyhey so this is Gina here. it's my turn to blog...every tuesday. luckily each of us don't have to post everyday since it's a group blog, so it's just once a week! phew. :b

Today we have class as usual and we all agreed on the group name of "slurp!" since we were planning on using food as the characters in our stop-motion. And since the title of our piece is supermarket it's all the more suitable. :b it will also be more fun to work with food yes? more interesting then just using clay or something, and we can also eat them afterwards. heh.

Germ has posted a couple of awesome stop-motion videos yesterday and here's another one! this one involves real food. "It shows an abridged history of American-centric warfare, from WWII to present day, told through the foods of the countries in conflict." yea i'm quoting it cause i'm pretty lazy to rephrase at the moment. ;]



Anyway, since we were told to produce individual storyboards for today's class, each of us had a set of thumbnails/brief storyboard ready to show each other. most of our storyboards are pretty similar and so we just went to pick out the shots that we liked better and lined them in order. Amanda went around giving each group some feedback on their storyboards and she seems pretty oorigh with the way our story flows and all. it's pretty straightforward really. but the real problem is that we all don't have/have little experience with making stop-motion films (including amanda) and so this is really new to us. hopefully it'll turn out the way we want it to! looks like it involves alot of planning and requires patience to execute it well. heh at least it'll be fun. i hope.

Soooo we did some research on stop motion to get a better idea on how it's done and looked at some more stop motion videos. they are pretty inspiring at times! ;]

yea i don't really know what to type anymore so i guess i'll end it here! :]
