Fiction Adaptation: Research 3

To find some simpler ideas with stop animation, I decided to look at students who have done stop motion in a different kind of way.

Here is the website where I found these short stop motions from:

'Notes on Biology'

In this short film, it is interesting how this person chose to do a drawing version of stop motion. I think it is an interesting concept however it must have taken ages to create the drawings.
Even though this one was very interesting I definitely won't be using drawing within my stop motion.

'Ten Thousand Pictures of You'

This one has to be my favourite short film out of the three on this post. The film was taken in stills which is something I have considered doing for my film. Its clever how they've told a story about a photographer and that they have decided to do a film in stills. There also is a story throughout this film which made it even more interesting. This film was done in a comical way by using a variety of sound effects, also the actors used were great in this film.

'Game Over'

This short film was similar to the one above, on how it used still images to create this animation, however it was based on food versions of 80's arcade games, such as: Pac-man, space invaders, etc.
It was an interesting concept however I found it to be boring halfway. The sound effects used were good but there was not really a story throughout this film.

Overall by looking at these short stop motion films previous student have done, have definitely inspired me on some ways of having stop motion within my fiction adaptation film.
