Todays task was to start filming our animation. We were assigned a room with specialist lighting equipment, a iMac with iStopmotion and a camera with a tripod. We started to set up our first scene by clamping down the road to a sturdy table, however the road was not flat all the way, which was a problem because if we put too many clamps then it would be seen in the shot. We had the background set up on clamps that were held up by poles, this gave it a very stable stance while filming.

We found it very hard to create the illusion of motion, it got even more difficult when our clay model got hot due to being exposed in the light for a long period of time. This caused the model to be less sturdy, also the colours were blending which affected the continuity. To stop this from continuing we had to to stop for 30 minutes every few hours so we could put the model in a fridge to harden it up.

We then started to set up our second scene, which was at night. To get this illusion we put a blue filter over our lights. This gave it the appearance being at night without being too dark.
