This was a very fun assignment and it was the first time I tried to make a stop motion animation. It is difficult to find a really good topic or subject, and I don’t think mine is that great but it was the best I could find in this short time.
I used a large green piece of ice and I tried to take a picture every 2-3 minutes during the approx. 3h while it melted. I ended up with 130 pictures, and I made de 38 seconds video (with credits and title).
The song I used is J. Butterfly by Maurah, and I tried to synchronize the pictures with the song as much as possible.
For taking the pictures I used a tripod and I used a wireless shutter to make sure the camera won’t move. For all the pictures I used the same settings: aperture f5.4 but I used an automatic shutter speed to make sure more or less that the pictures would have the same amount of light. However because I didn’t do this in a studio I couldn’t have complete control over the amount of light; and because the Ice melted in more than 3 hours the light changes a bit in each picture. I tried to use the flash to have the same amount of light, but there is still a visible influence from the sunlight.
