stop motion: “A Spark of Passion” and “Intro to Mice”

Co-created with Kat Kitay

This week in Stop Motion production we have two experimental shorts: ‘a spark of passion’ and ‘intro to mice’.

Spark of Passion

In our first stop motion we really wanted to use inanimate objects and give them a human character, give them a story. We thought we would use objects that we interact with everyday and what better items to use than the ones in our PComp kit! We landed on the battery and battery connector, since the together, the two make things move and light up. The theme of passion immediately came up and the following video is the result.

Here are the actors and the video set-up:

ITP- 93856 001: Intro to Mice

The second slow motion video was an experiment with Pixilation, which proved to me much harder than we thought. We wanted to create the effect of a human moving like another creature. In this story, the snake professor gives an overview of Intro to Mice, slithering around the class to interact with ‘invisible’ snake students.
