The final outcome - Sean&Lynn version

so many days have passed, and our final submission day is right infront of our eyes. I am pretty sure many others including even my group members are in hurry to finish their animation.

However, lynn and i have spent almost 2 days sleeping late and sitting on the chairs for hours, we could produce an animation before our deadline.

Throughout the whole process, we gained lots of experience in terms of firstly getting to know a lot about stop motion, and also the skill to produce a stop motion animation using a program. Just to master(if we can say so, although we are still very at beginner's level) the program, we searched videos, documents, tutorials, guidelines etc all over a place called internet, and as a result, our animation was produced.

Before we 'ta-da~' our animation, i would like to explain about the program we used.

The program we used is called 'Adobe Premiere Pro'.

Although there are quite a number of programs that we can use to produce an animation, based on our research, we have found out that Premiere Pro is the most commonly used program to create animations and in fact, more advanced than those such as Windows Movie Maker or so on.

This is the thing that pops up when it's first opened. usual 'Adobe' look.

This is the workplace.

In the work place, there are sequence, where i do my work on, effects, where i can apply video and audio transitions, monitor, where i can watch what is going on. i had to place all our pics that are 303 pictures in total. What i did first, was to make a first draft which only timing for each frames were edited. Basically just a video that does not have any effects, title, audio.

And this is the one.

Then when this was done, i used Premiere Pro again to edit things one by one.

First, i started off with adding the song. I used the song called 'Love Hurts' by Incubus which then later on i decided to use also as the title. After adding the song, i used video transitions to enhance the video to have some effects in it and also, the title, and the last part saying 'Thank You'

This was the last scene before i last saved as an .avi file.

The video was finally done, with duration of 3 fps meaning 3 frames per second.

One thing i kind of regret, is that we did not take enough pictures to improve the video's quality which can be done by having it with a duration of 6~12 fps. But i am still satisfied with it, and too, lynn and i are proud of ourselves.

Here is our animation.
