For my fourth Introduction to Digital Literacy for Online Learning assessment, I made a stop motion video using a Lego Star Wars set. I created a photo set using two big Lego sheets and slowly assembled the Y-Wing while taking each photo frame by frame.
There were some issues with the lighting and I think it might have something to do with the white bricks being used and how that wasn’t causing the camera’s flash to go off like I wanted it to. Nevertheless I managed to work around it to the best of my abilities.
Once the photo shoot was done, I dropped all the images into Windows Movie Maker and then searched around Youtube for some sci-fi sounding copyright free music.
The editing process itself was surprisingly simple. The music cut itself off at the end of the video so really all I had to do was just play around with the fade options. I went with the fast fade out option at the end.
Overall, I am happy with how my video turned out. As I said, I would try to improve the lighting situation in the future and make it a bit more consistent.
