Rude Awakening (Stop-Motion)

[kiyakotari]

I've taken another crack at some stop-motion animation using one of the dolls. Been meaning to do so for a while now, but just haven't had the free time. It takes forever, and I'm still getting the hang of it (plus, my frame rate isn't quite as high as it should be), but I'm pleased with the results. This is only 7 seconds long, and that's including the fade! Still, I only had one toppling-doll incident, and everyone survived (though I had to lock the cat out of my bedroom, because she was far too interested in the whole process).

Er, let's just say Jian is high as a kite drugged out of his mind under the influence of pain medications due to some undefined injury, and that's why Wren doesn't wake him up when she's doing all that moving around. ^_^;; (The truth is, I didn't feel up to trying to do all this sequential posing with two dolls at once yet. So he gets to stay under the blankets there, looking asleep, and all you see is the back of his head.)

This looks really damn cool, and was well worth the effort, even for a short result. Posing the both of them sequentially would have been absolutely brutal, no doubt about it. o_o

Brutal and hazardous! I suspect we would have had far more dolls falling over if I'd been trying to pose both of them. ^_^;; I don't have any stands, so...

Ideally you'd need stands + somebody to spot the "actors" in their more strenuous poses, no doubt! You need a doll animation assistant. x3
