For this blog post, I had to create a stop motion video and turn it into a story. Being super busy and sick for the past week and a half, unfortunately made me very lazy when it came to literally all my assignments. Not some of my proudest work but I figured it was the best I could do. When it came to the day I actually wanted to start this, Rachel told me no because it was almost midnight, she was half asleep and had no makeup on. So, Nick was my next option. It was very difficult to get full cooperation at first and to explain to him what exactly he had to do. We first decided on him doing a back flip. When he wrestled in high school, he would do a back flip right before the match started, it was a attention grabbing and intimidating. Since he can no longer do unlimited amounts of backflips at 23 years old, we decided on a baseball theme.
At this point, I didn’t care what the theme was, I just wanted full cooperation in what I was saying. Once I started taking the pictures, he still didn’t get the point that I had to take a ton of pictures of him, making very small movements. He finally got the concept down, and after 4 different baseball swings, almost 50 pictures for each, and multiple light changes, we finally got the end product. Since we just got filmed for an Indians commercial, it was a fun idea to have a baseball theme. I struggled making it in iMovie but after watching some tutorials after I made it and criticism from Nick, Ryan and Sidney, I got the end results to the best I could.
