The Baker Apple
Hi everyone,
This is a short 2:30min film I made about a month back with my Canon XH-A1 called 'The Baked Apple'. http://www.undergroundfilm.com/films...ar&wid=1034921 |
I enjoyed that. It had a cool 'trippy factor'.
I would like to know how you did the bits that I assume weren't stop motion, but looked it... like when the actor was in the shot. Nice work. |
Thanks Dennis, glad you enjoyed it.
The process of animating a person is called Pixilation (basically the same as stop-motion only you're animating people instead of objects). What you do is position the actor, capture a frame, position actor, capture a frame, position actor, and so on. The shots I did in this film are very basic pixilation but with a little creativity and an extremely vigorous actor, one can pull off some fantastic shots. Norman McLaren's film 'Neighbors' is a great example - it's one of my all-time favorite films. |

So are you saying the actor froze in a position, you took a shot, got them to move slightly more, took a shot etc? |
Yes, that's right.
|
Very cool! Great ending as well. How long did this take to shoot?

that was excellent, suspensful and somewhat disturbing.... you're ready for the horror genre
did you use a 35m adaptor or the stock lens on the A1? trish |
Thanks guys - this film was a one day shoot and then a few weeks for the post. I just used the stock lens for this film. Glad you feel I'm ready for the horror genre Trish because I'm actually planning to write a horror film this fall/winter.

Very cool! Visually stunning! But I must say the soundtrack was so annoying that I had to turn it down!
|
yeah the visuals in this was amazing to me.I was trippin over here just trying to figure out how you pulled some of those shots and sequenses off. great work
|
Derrick: Thanks, glad you enjoyed the film and it's visuals.
Michael: Thanks too - sorry the sound annoyed you, it would help if you specified whether the annoyance was caused from a technical stand point or if it was because you simply did not care for the sounds. I forgot to compress the dynamic sound range after completion of the film so I think some of the higher pitch sounds may cause irritation when listened to loudly. |
