Stop Motion videos are made up of 100s of images, so best of both worlds. Although I'm not sure whether I would be allowed to create a video for this brief I decided to start investigating Stop Motion Films anyway.
I decided to look at existing Stop Motion videos. If I was able to create a video I would want to use personal photographs throughout, so I wanted to find other videos that also use photographs for inspiration. I came across these two video on Vimeo. The first is a Stop Motion Reverse called Ballpoint Barber by Peter Simon. Multiple photographs are taken of the model, the pictures are then printed off and become interactive with the person behind the camera. I really like the idea of making the photographs interactive giving the video a more playful and fun feel.
The second video is called The Pen Story. Which involved shooting 60,000 pictures, developing 9,600 prints and shooting over 1,800 pictures again. The video shows the story of a man from his younger to his older days. The story is narrated by photographs, each changing slight showing the mans travels, experiences and growth. One of my favourite aspects of this 3.00 minute video is that the photographs interact with the their surrounding. The furniture, stairs, objects. I think this works really well and shows that the video doesn't have to be in just one place.
