Claymation Test Video.

This claymation Test footage was done as it relates somewhat to my initial ideas for my actual music video. I think to improve on this test footage more shots should be taken to create a slightly more fluent camera movement however i am pleased with the video and the story within it. I think it is a cute, clear story as to what is happening within the video, in which the clay character decides to write 'poo' on the keyboard to which the computer decides to fight back and drops his mouse onto the character, resulting in his untimely demise. This is a childish piece of test footage as we felt that might be easier to display than something much more serious and the cute claymation character is easy to use for more comedic videos. This technique is done by taking many 'stills' of the claymation character and moving the character ever so slightly between each shot to create a more fluid movement. The less shots taken for each movement, the less fluid the movement will appear.
