Inclusion of Stop Motion

Stop motion features extensively within my second cut and I would merely like to cite Django Django,Vampire Weekend and Peter Gabriel as inspiration in this area. It is relatively straight-forward from a technical point but definitely a time-consuming aspect of my editing; if I had more time to do my final video, it is likely I would have included more stop motion in the video - especially during the performance clips as to better distinguish them from the 'reality' within the video's narrative.

In order to do these stop-motion segments, I first had to cut out the images in Photoshop. In fact, this is such a long process that even for my second cut I don't believe I'll have finished the animations as I would like to focus more on blocking the rest of the video. My ability to successfully create stop-motion animations has been displayed previously on the blog and essentially the reason I sought to include it in the final product was just how cool I thought it looked, clearly proving to be a popular technique as seen by the success of the videos below.
