Week 20 - 24th May - editing stop motion

Putting together all of the stop motion scenes and editing them so everything flows smoothly. 

Week 20 - 24th May - Camera memory book

After Katie did the timing of the memory book, I then created the camera movement with in the book. 

I used 3 different methods for the movement: 

- Keying the transform settings to move the page, then using easy ease to make a smoother movement
- Using a Camera
- Using a camera and parenting it to a null object so it easier to manoeuvre 

Week 20 - 24th May - Masking

Masked the felt page design to the beginning stop motion scenes

Test 01:

This is an unmasked test, the page is supposed to the page below. I found it very hard to match up the designs to the stop motion as it moves quite alot. 


The finished result is still a little jolty but overall the main character animation takes main focus so hopefully it wont be very noticeable. 


Week 19 - 23rd May - Page turn

Creating a page turn for the memory book.

Test 01:



Test 02:


Final:




We both decided that only one page turn would be used for the memory book. It will be used after the first page, this is enough to suggest to the audience that it is a book, if we put a page turn for all of the book it would be become very repetitive.  

Katie then masked the page designs on top of this page turn.
