Concept
In my stop motion animation I plan to make two cars race around a I.C.T classroom. The cars will be racing around computers, over mouse's and keyboards and then take to the floor where they race trough peoples legs and make them fall over. I plan to make this as realistic as possible and make the movement of the cars as smooth as possible. I want to use to race cars that have different racing environments; for example, a formula 1 car racing against a street race car.

For this I will need to use toy cars to create a race a race scene around the class room. And a camera. I am going to make my car move from a scene, then the car will fall into the classroom. Now the car will come across some obstacles. I will capture all these images with in lots of photographs taken at each stage of the cars journey.

My Movie from clinton pickering on Vimeo.
www - its looks realistic how the cars are moving, and the camera panning works well and looks effective. the way the cars keep over taking each other makes it look a fair race between a street race car and a track race car. the white car is faster, but the purple car takes an advantage of being able to maneuverer its way over objects.
ebi - I could to with a more interesting track and making the overall video longer. I could also do with increasing the exposure in some images that are under exposed. Or I need a more constant exposure as some images differ in terms of brightness.

www -I think that the cars being outside in this stop motion was effective, and realistic how someone nearly stepped on them. I also believe that the exposure in this video was correct and constant through out. I thought that the person picking the cars up was a good way to get the cars from one place to another. If I didn't do this then I wouldn't of been able to get the cars off the wall smoothly.
ebi - Although the images were correctly exposed, a lot of them were out of focus which makes the video look less professional. The amount of movement of the cars between each photo was too much. Therefore the video is very jumpy and looks a lot less realistic and smooth like the previous stop motion did.

www. In this video, I extended on the classroom idea but made it longer, of higher quality and overall more complex. I focused on getting some good action film camera angles and made the camera pan around to cover all views. The cars traveling up the vertical table legs gives the video a surreal effect.
ebi. In this video there is a large part of carpet the cars has to travel across. This part of the video is very boring as there are no obstacles for the cars. This I think brings down the overall quality of the video. I could improve this by adding some obstacles to this part of the race or cutting out the middle section of the boring part. this would make the carpet area a lot less long and would make this part effective.
