The animation video that I produced on Friday using stop frame photography techniques was actually much more in my comfort zone than the other videoing techniques that we had used prior to this. The still frame photography is more my thing so this made it much easier for me to complete, however the forward thought that I had to use to ensure that the images fit together nicely was a little harder than simple singular still frame photography. I liked using this idea of journey which had been done previously by another student as it did seem like a logical thing to do, and the flicking of images gave this idea of stepping much more than simple photography, it was a challenge and was very time consuming but I did enjoy doing this in my work as it was experimenting more so with the camera rather than editing which is what was more concentrated on in my first two units. However using this technique wasn't exactly what I enjoy the most about photography, I like taking one simple thing and creating an idea that can allow the viewer to evaluate it in their own way and allows for so many different interpretations that can be seen by many.
Idea development;
Even experimentation is a good thing and this will help me, later next year I don't want to concentrate on these techniques as I don't find it to be what I want to get from this course. Despite that I think that I am coming out with some relatively good pieces to add to my portfolio. However if I was told that I had to shoot this again I think I would sit and plan it more so as my planning was pretty poor, I think I would also choose a shorter animation to shoot the would concentrate on a still background and a movement within this as i feel that this would be more in my comfort zone and would allow for me to end up with a better product.
