Orpheus: Clouds & Background Animation Test
Today I did a very quick shot to test my hardware/software setup. You can see that I shot it in daylight which is why the light is flickering so much. – But since this was just a general tryout I think it's okay for now.
Orpheus – Clouds & Background Animation Test from Jessica Koppe on Vimeo. The animation is a bit rough, sorry for that. The clouds could move a whole bit slower, but I guess you'll get the idea.
The background and the clouds are cut out of paper, the structures and textures are all handmade. For this film I try to build as much from paper as possible, and so most of the cemetery setting is made of paper, too. I shot the cloud's animation under my old-school animation stand with my Pentax *ist DL2 and Dragon Stopmotion software.
Since I've finished the sets, I had issues to move on with the puppets and with testing the technical stuff. Today I just want to do anything and so I started this quick animation setup. When I'll start shooting the animation, everything will be arranged a bit more accurately (as I 've learned in Bristol…)

These 7% on puppet making weigh more than the last 3% on set building… But I'll do what I can! ;)

No - they don't.
And next time simply start with the last 7% instead of the first ones, if this is easier for you. :P

Love this. I actually even like it with flicker!

Hm, I had some more ideas on this, so I'm also thinking about laying a glass plate on the background to keep it plain on the one hand, but to also enlarge the distance between the clouds and the background...

about the idea with the glass: I'm very curious how this might turn out… the clouds have a certain three-dimensional quality though they are clearly 'just' two-dimensional - and thereby got a special quality… Oh, and the background is something. Now with the moving clouds
