Stop motion animation

 This was my first time taking part in stop motion animation using Lego. It was a long process due to the amount of photos needed to create a flowing moving image. I felt the hardest aspects of the production was keeping the continuity. During stop motion production, you must keep the set up the same and only move objects/ characters the smallest amount for the next photo to be taken. Another challenge was depicting characters who fall or have to be midair in some shots. For example, when characters are jumping. There are technical ways around this. One way is taking a shot without the character in it. Then using wire/ blue tac etc to suspend the character in the air. The wire/ blue tac is then edited out in post production.
