Testing stop motion

During our lesson with Mr Grimsley, we decided to test our stop motion skills and decide whether

wenwas good enough for our stop motion title sequence.

We encountered a few problems when doing this stop motion:

• There were flicker lights in the room so the lighting on the camera kept changing.
• My arm kept appearing in shot so this ruined the technique of stop motion.
• The movement of the bottle needs the be cleaner and smoother.
