A stop motion Christmas

I'll set the scene...

I'm on my own in the house and just finished another two pages of my essay, the Christmas tree is up and the blinking lights keep glaring on the TV as I watch watch a generally bad TV show based in Chelsea or some town in England. I've finished the bag of cheesy doritos so what else is there to do rather then make a festive stop motion film?

The concept is:

All the pretty Christmas decorations are put on the tree except for the small tatty angel left at the bottom of the Christmas decorations bag. The small tatty angel climbs out the bag and makes her way up the tree, stopping once to munch on a Christmas tree chocolate. She continues on until she makes her way up the tree when she finally reaches the top and pushes the larger angel off her throne while the small tatty angel takes her place at the top of the tree.

Behind the scenes:

This was the scene when the little angel is crawling out of the bag - which took a really long time to do!

This is the tatty angel with all the fishing wire attached to it

This is the head angel who will be kicked off her pedestal

Here's one of the other angels placed at the tree around the top

and here we see the tree!

One Minute Documentary

Stretch

Finally. First individual project for my first term at university is done! Now all I need to do is finish one essay, start another and start a script... but that's all in due time.
We had to do a one minute self portrait (which was not a welcomed subject believe me - the whole point I took a film course was so I could remain BEHIND the camera!) and although it started a bit slow I think it's actually looking pretty decent and I don't want to pass out from cringing at the end of it either!

Also want to thank Passionate Imperfection from sound cloud for providing the music! People check this user our because they have some really cool music and they also made it really easy for me to use what they made. I used the track 'this-is-no-dream'...

So check out the video and I always welcome constructive feedback! 

iSessions Editing Job!!

A Job!!

A few weeks ago when I applied for a small one time job to be the editor for some band promos for the iPaper (Part of the guardian newspaper)
It actually proved to be much harder than I originally thought, especially when one of the people who was meant to be editing with you doesn't take on some of the work load (for whatever reason) and you have to do her work in the same deadline you were given origionally! But I loved the challenge...

sooooo much editing

I had to pull an all nighter to get it in, but it was all so worth it when I saw it live on the website and saw my name at the end credits!

"Editor - Alex Adams"
