These are some stop motion things I made for my animation class near to the beginning of the school year. I knew they would come in handy, especially the one with Vena Nightmare. I received goodish grades on them , as I recall. It's cut off at the end where I edited out my name, and the titles are silly things that were required. Hope you like them!

The first is an animation using pieces of paper that I had to cut out and leave separate for easy movement. The slightest sigh of exasperation from me would ruin 15 minutes work when taking the pictures! The hard part was cutting the paper to look how I wanted it to. Vena's hair at the end looks preposterous!

The second is claymation. It's balsa wood glued to wire and then covered with play-do, which are not the easiest materials to work with. The play-do had some death grudge with the wire and slid off every time I tried to reposition the cat-girl. Making her neko was a great idea, but not in the way that I had originally planned. I had actually planned for the cat-girl to do an entirely different dance but when I saw how bulky and slow my model turned out to be, I went with what I knew best. The tail, which is unseen for the most part, acts as prop for this heavy doll. When I edited it all together on my computer, matching it to the music turned out to be more difficult than I thought. I was missing necessary in between pictures for parts of the song that went slower than I had at first supposed. Although I knew it would be so, I still felt aggravated when all the time I put into it made only a few seconds long video.
