BA Art and Design Brief 1 - Multiples - Stop Motion

 
Stop Motion
 
For our video class we experimented with stop motion and I decided to try it further with my project.
I decided to create a video of the stories of one of my dolls in consideration of using this as an alternative to illustrations and display.
 
 
This is the story of my dolls "Tea Time" and "Pink";
 
"Tea Time" is a jealous doll who strives to obtain a particular boy as her husband, but the boy isn't aware of this, maybe not even of her. So the boy continues to flirt and mingle with other girls (as he is not tied down) but "Tea Time" is obsessed with him and is determined to remove any competition in the way.

I decided to make another copy of this video with different music in the background, because I couldn't decide which one I preferred.

The first ones music is more ominous and works with the story, but I like the second one because the music matches the Victorian style dolls and scenery.
 
It was quite time consuming even though it was a very short video, so I decided not to use this for my final piece (Also the other dolls either have more complicated or not even detail in their stories to make a video out of them)
 
However I enjoyed making these videos and now that I have a good idea how to go about making them, I'd love to use this method again for other projects in the future.
