Character Animation

I wanted to create a fun and fast paced stop motion animation. I chose the wooden mannequin figure because it has a relatively good range of motion. The figures hands and feet hand magnets built in, so it helped in the run cycle. I wanted to create a little story so I brought in my John McCain action figure and a robot. Several of the frames hand to have my hand in them so I took a picture of the original back ground and then in photoshop painted my hand out. On the run cycle I put a piece of tape under the character to track the center of gravity. There are some process images below.

thank you
