So the final day! We had talks from LAIKA and Aardman they were interesting but the main event of the day was Will Beecher on Paranorman. It was fantastic to see some of the videos he showed us. Him and his colleges also worked on the film Caroline and the videos he showed us showed them working on set. There's 24 frames per second and as the are working with stop motion and clay models each second was moved in around 6 times. So just for one second of a moment it took them 6 little movements and 24 frames of one of those shots together to make a second! That is ALOT of work. I was really impressed and if i'm honest... glad i'm not in stop motion! I admire them greatly but i think i'd kill myself it i had to do that everyday.
Here's some video's form the making of Coraline just so you understand how much time and effort is put in if you don't already know -
another one that shows the little simple things you can think of to use and quirky ideas :')
All in all the talk was very rewarding and interesting, it's a shame i couldn't go to see the free screen after but i definitely will get round to watching it as it looked really funny and visually good.
Here's some pics i took of the models and Will, it's great that he brought them along to let everyone see them, a real nice treat :)
sorry about the horrible photo quality, Ipod touches have rubbish cameras! :/
