A Piece of My Mind: Whiteboard

I've searching through you tube looking at stop motion animations people are linking. Some really nice ideas.

The video on this link and several others inspired me to try it out myself.
I enlisted the help of Julie -4th year DFTV(Digital Film and TV) student and off we went with a couple of cameras, a white board and markers.

I felt more inclined to thoughts of making a 3D model to manipulate.. however experience with the whiteboard helped me to look at each frame, working out how to change the dynamic of the movement and gave me a better understanding about how stop motion works.

This took 157photos, lasts 21.8 secs.

Poignant quotations

"It's amazing how something so simple can bring so much happiness to the right people in the right frame of mind"

~ Luisa Cocozza on reflection of her Panto experience.

"You have to be able - you have to have made the commitment within yourself to do whatever it takes to get the job done and to try to inspire other people to do it, because obviously the first rule is you can't do it by yourself."

~ James Cameron

"As an artist for arts sake, I have my own sculptures that I do for myself that I can spend as much time as I want on. Part of the creative challenge of this business is to go 'you know what, I've got this much money and this much time to do this job. I will do the best I can within those parameters.' That's what being a professional is. That's not art for art's sake. This is the motion picture business. If you only do stuff that you have all the time and money to do, you would never work in this business."

~ Stan Winston. (1946 - 2008)

It's a job that's never started that takes the longest to finish.
~ J. R. R. Tolkien (1892 - 1973)

"Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinder critics and philosophers of today -- but the core of science fiction, its essence has become crucial to our salvation if we are to be saved at all."

~ Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)
