Finally, to the ever-surprising Stop Motion section! Frankly, of the first four basic courses, Stop Motion was the one I was least interested in at first, but after finishing this section, I realised how much I had enjoyed it.
Firstly, it was the first time that I actually worked in a group with my classmates to complete a project (Elephant & Castle? That’s not an example I can refer to).
The two-person team was not easy to come by and the process was difficult as we had almost no previous experience with Stop Motion.
But despite this, we tried and challenged many things we would not have thought possible in other forms of animation and ended up with some amazing results.
The project based on the DC hit JOKER is still a bit underdeveloped, but Trip to the Moon has become a project I am proud of. I would venture to say that Stop Motion has been the most enjoyable and surprising part of all four sessions for me.
