Stop Motion Animation Practice Run


A cold girl played by Annie is concerned and slightly relieved when she encounters a jacket for warmth...but are the jacket's intentions more sinister than at first imagined?


First attempt at Pixilation created in collaboration with Annie Sungkajun and Jessica Ross.
(Pixilation is the use of people in stop motion.)

We encountered a few problems while creating this in that our supplies were limited so finding creative ways to make sure the jacket was help up on Annie's body in-between shots was rather challenging. We were able to use some make-shift string, a belt, and a couple of pieces of duct tape in order to remedy the problem (though a couple of safety pins would have come in handy!).

We changed up some of the speeds in which some things were shot by taking fewer pictures. For example, when Annie is reaching for the railing after the jacket has started to take control of her body, her movements are slightly faster and jerky.

All-in-all, I had a great time creating this stop-motion and it was very eye-opening to the amount of effort that is required.
