The Clip

Stop Motion Final

"A New Way of Seeing"

Design Standpoint

My goal is to pursue Media Design as a major, therefore i chose to do my stop motion on what I think is the best explanation on what Media Design actually is, and how it is "A New Way of Seeing". After researching Media Design, I then decided on my quote for my standpoint -

"Thinking outside the box and expanding the world with Media Design".

This simply means that Media Design expands the way the world sees and looks at this type of design, by using different types of medium. If we look at what types of art forms and medium is involved in Media Design, we find that there is a lot that goes into it. For my stop motion I decided to use drawings, photography, and my laptop to show the process that basic animation goes through. I started off by first drawing my object, which in this case a legoman. This drawing then faded out into a photograph which turned into a real life animation, involving the object moving around and discovering the laptop and how it was created. By showing this in my stop motion, I wanted to get the idea out that with Media Design, you can use almost any type of medium to create an animation.

Storyboard Final


This is my final storyboard for Project 3, it relates to my actual stop motion because I am going with a superhero/superman theme to it. This made me think of the most appropriate style to a storyboard I could do, and I found that a comic book style would work the best. So I drew it first, then put it through my computer and colored in the main parts leaving the background the same color, which looked cool in the end giving it that depth.

Interim Presentation

Stop Motion

This is my stop motion so far for DSDN101. We had to have an interim presentation of what we've done so far with our project "The Clip" and so far I've come up with this. It's still a work in progress and I am considering starting again to change the lighting within it since it was uneven as you can see from the preview. That was one of the main feedbacks I got from the tutors Joneen, Ali and Vanessa, and also they asked me what else I was going to do. I am still planning to start off with my drawing which turns into a series of photos which then turns into a real life animation. This is my proposal for a "New Way of Seeing", with other phrases that relate to my subject matter put in there as well with as much relevance as possible.
