Continuing my method testing experiments in order to find the best way to visualise my idea.
This time I'm looking at photo montages, using individual photographs of single animation frames, which are then pieced together and assembled in sequence to create motion.
I drew a few very simple images of a stick man running, took a photo of each one, then assembled them in sequence.
It's a simple method in it's process, but effect in its result, giving that raw, creative looking edge that digital animation just lacks.
The downside is that each frame must be drawn from scratch. If I wanted a cloud for example to move from one side of the screen to the other, in After Effects it's a VERY simple process of simple putting it in start position, hitting a stop watch, moving it to finishing position, and done. In this method, it would involved redrawing the cloud each and every single frame, as many times as the pace and timing of the sequence would demand.
So, although this process is nice, and would give the handcrafted, strictly UNDIGITAL method I was aiming for, it might be unpractical to actually use.
Still, it's an option.
