This was a very tough week for me. Besides being busy, I seemed to always have something going on. I was really really hoping I’d be able to shoot specifically for the stop motion video rather than use the old vacation photos for it. It didn’t look like it was going to happen until Friday evening, when I literally dragged my hubby to the beach and took 2300 (!!!) pictures in the process.
It was very hard to eliminate certain pictures, but I was determined to fit the whole video to one song.
This was my first attempt at actually staging a stop motion video rather than using the photos I already took for other reasons.
{Photos below are self portraits}
A few things learned:
- Forget about Manual setting, put it on Av/Tv (whichever you like to use)
- 16GB card was BARELY enough for all the photos ( I ran out right as we shot the last shot)
- Having my hubby participate was a lot of fun and it helped to set the camera and give it to him to shoot the parts with me ( he had trouble with focus on continuous mode but all in all turned out fine)
- Trying to batch edit 2300 photos is a BITCH!
Otherwise, it was a lot of fun to shoot and edit the video. Hope you enjoy it and I can’t wait to see your creations!
If you just stumbled onto this challenge, feel free to link up till the end of next week.
{Most photos in the video are taken by me. Some of the consecutive shots of me were taken by my husband. The movie was directed and edited by me}
