"A Hold Up"
I worked with Katie Heckey to make this stop-motion animation. The story formed around the characters we found, who we have named Unicorn Fred (due to the Unicorn on his shirt) and Pioneer Bill (due to his coonskin cap). We first created the set for our film, making a forest backdrop for them to stroll through. We then planned out what actions would take place and what would happen in the film. When we began shooting, we both would figure out how the pose needed to look for each frame while Katie posed the characters and I took the pictures. (A special thanks to Katie's brother Robert, who helped us when we needed a third person in order to make the gun fly out of Pioneer Bill's hand!) While some of the actions are very silly, we made sure to follow animation principles such as follow-through and overlapping action.
After taking all the photos, we timed out and edited the film in Quicktime and Adobe Premiere. Katie did the wonderful voice-over dialogue and sound effects. She does an excellent trumpet impression!
We had a lot of fun making this animation!!
