Stop Motion Animation of Falling

Finding a Home

Process:

I was thinking of other ideas before I found my old spongebob candy dispenser that I got for easter a couple of years ago. Instantly, I imagined spongebob walking in my scene, but I remembered that the animation should be about falling. Then, an idea of having a pineapple (spongebob's house) falling from the sky pops out, and I just went with it.

First I bought the materials that I needed such as a pineapple and a yellow sponge. Then, I set up the scene. I pulled out my old shower curtain for the background. Also some paper clips to be spongebob's hands, legs, and spine. I also did some research to see how exactly spongebob's face and house looked like. Then, I took a spartan daily issue and cut some shapes using scissors for the face, door, windows, etc.

Finally, I shot the scenes using a Konica Minolta digital camera and a strong light source. After I have all the images I needed, I adjust the timing by adding and deleting images. Overall, it was fun. :)
