I just finished my 2D stop motion semester project called Day Dream. I combined my artistic skills and my animation skills into one animation that I plan to use for my portfolio. I wanted to challenge myself by having my animation be more detailed and realistic.
This animation is more focusses on technique than story plot. To put it in simple terms, this animation is about a girl looking for inspiration for her drawing. She begins to day dream. Her rapid change in thought is shown through each subject transforming into something different. In the end, the girl is struck with an idea and begins to draw on her paper.

This is a picture of a portion of the frames I drew for this animation. |
This animation is twenty seconds long and is made up of more than a hundred frames. This project was time consuming and took a lot of patience, however, I am satisfied with my ability to draw frame by frame. I love the informal outlines of each frame. It makes the animation look as if it is being told on a piece of paper. Over all, I am proud of the work I have done for this project. I can not wait to see the improvements I make as I apply what I've learned in this project to my next idea.
I hope you enjoy my quick animated film, Day Dream.
