Final work due Week 8

For next week (22nd/23rd March), you need:

At least 30 seconds of stop-motion animated footage edited together as one .mov or .avi clip.
These 30 secs do NOT include your rhythm reference (live-action) footage, your in-class group exercises or your spacing chart I gave you this week (which you still need to hand in).

For the rest it can be made up of any combination of footage that you've filmed this year. You're welcome to re-shoot anything or film something of your own invention. We're going to mark you based on these 30+ seconds, so show us what you want us to see.
Have a look at Marinda's previous post to see the marking criteria. 
You may include sound effects, but NO MUSIC.

This means that you don't have to finish the 8 sec claymation by week 8. But if you don't, you will need to complete a 15 second claymation (plasticine) film for week 9, after the holiday.

NO late work will be accepted. If you have to be absent, make sure your work is on the computer in the Cube by the time class starts.

PEACEFUL

Well basically, the is no conflict present between the wind and the flower, the rhythm of the stem and the leaves is controlled by the force of the wind, as well as the strength of the structure... therefore peace is signified
