STOP MOTION?

When we presented our project idea to the class, we received many comments. However, one in particular saved us a lot of time:

Whited, Walker Lewis (Sep 16, 2011 12:32 PM EDT) To cut the time in half, instead of taking a ton of pictures, video them and then when you put the video on the timeline in your editing program you just cut little splices out of the timeline so it looks like stop motion.

One of the scenes was completed by taking pictures of each "major" movement (the scene is in the Buffering... 5% video). It turned out nicely, but we concluded that it would be too difficult to do this for longer scenes.

Therefore, we filmed scenes and used GomPlayer (free program) to screen capture each fraction of the video.

Example:

I hope that rough tutorial inspires you to make a stop motion video of your own! It's time consuming, but fun!
