In one of the Monday classes, I got a chance to try creating a stop motion animation with an armature. The exercise that we did that day was the lift, push, and pull exercise. To familiarise us with the process, we were asked to create a simple animation of the character reacting and waving. After I finished with the waving animation, I continued with the lift animation. It was quite hard to do in the beginning especially because I kept bumping into the desk and ruined the scene. So apparently your awareness of your body and your space is something important in stop motion, which was an interesting notion to grasp on that day.
Another thing that I got of from this experience was that in doing stop motion, it is better to have a clear vision of what the frame-by-frame would look like because it would be hard to create new in-betweens after you have shot many frames. Overall, I would say that I enjoyed doing the stop motion exercise because I got to learn new things and it felt like some sort of dance between me and the puppet. Which was a bit of a weird analogy that I could think of when looking back to that day. But yeah!
