Stop motion, also known as stop frame, is an animation technique to make physically object appear to move on its own.

Firstly, I wrote a story outline.  I need to have an idea of what I want to do. It is a hero story. Speaking why I choose this topic because I admire those people who brave to fight for free. The last world at the ending of Brave heart is Freedom. After having a main storyline, I started to prepare technical stuff- two cameras, tropicals and a computer. 13 motions in one second. And also got the object( the main character) I want to work with.

The most important for me was to find a place to shoot that has plenty of space and light. It takes time but worth because a good shooting place is the very basic element for a successful production.

light is essential as well, but avoid using sunlight. Please!!!! because sunlight is always changing as the sun moves, and so it will change while creating shot. It takes several hours to create a scene that only lasts a few seconds on screen. In those few seconds the sunlight will change dramatically. So plan on using lamps.

The difficult thing need to fix is sound recording. I can not record a clear main sound without background noisy without professional recorder. It may affect quality of the production, noisy makes me feel uncomfortable.

I really enjoy doing this video. So I decided to know something about stop motion. Start with the history, it has a long history in film and often used to show object moving as if by magic. The first instance of the stop motion technique can be used in ‘The Humpty Dumpty Circus(1897)stop motion

I went to Dream work show at Federation Square last month. Shrek storyboard left me a strong impression. The host showed how story goes., a scene where the kind is looking for the most beautiful princess getting married. I really like them and their very well drawn and easy to understand.
