Stop Motion Goof 2 the post mortem.
Basic share comments about what you though of the animation.
Pros
For me I saw a great deal of improvement in keeping the action less chaotic. The animation flowed much better as we increased the number of frames. And the background scenery was more dynamic. The team had fun, we all had a chance to animate a character. I think it helped that we had someone focused on directing and making sure the movement/timing worked. The main comment Ive heard is that the Pirate at the end was awesome.
Cons
What we still don’t have is sound which would add a great deal to the animation. We will need to try out lighting techniques. It would also be nice to have the shots vary. Like perhaps a different angle of the octo lady attacking the cat. We also had trouble with moving the clay characters and holding a pose, will need a wire rig to help with this. Last but not least the camera quality went down so we could use the computer to help see our progress and make sure we didn’t make a mistake. Will need to figure out a camera system to get the quality back up and still check our work as we go.
Future experiments/Goof Hopes
Would like to try and animate visual effects, like a slime monster or splash of water or fire.
Would like to figure out a way smoothly move the camera through the scene.
Again speak up, let me know what you think.
