To create my stop motion animation I decided to use candy as little characters, and drew a background for the video on large paper. I then put it on the ground with a light source, and had my boyfriend photograph each frame from above when I told him to as I moved the characters between each shot. I used the iPhone app called 'Stop Motion Pro" to create my video. I reshot the animation about 4 times, and adjusted the timing with each attempt. I made an effort to include anticipation by making the pink candy back up before attempting his final great leap. I tried to make the path of his fall appear realistic as by using my knowledge of falling, acceleration, and velocity. I remembered from the 1/4 down at 1/2 time rule that the object would drop the furthest at the beginning of the fall before slightly slowing down as he gets closer to his terminal velocity.
Overall, the project was pretty fun and an interesting challenge.
