Since stop motion and claymation was my focus point of interest for one part of the ident brief, I thought I would go ahead and check out some artists who have had experience with it. I found 'Youtube' to be the most helpful with my research because I had access to the work and pieces from ANYONE all over the world. Professional and amateur. Which I found really inspiring.
This video however was one of many that peaked my interest. I initially loved the colour palette and the artists choice of colour for the plasticine, especially since I only have access to white. I have solved this problem by being able to batch edit my frames and add the filters that I have discussed in my experimentation, but I think I might have to purchase some of the purple to intensify the plasticine for the E4 logo, because it is literally the perfect match.
As far as the actual animation goes, I really love it. The plasticine moves a little bit slowly but that just allows room for the viewer to see the fluidity of the morphing more intensely. And the morphing is done so well. In each frame the plasticine is perfectly rounded, there are no harsh edges where their shouldn't be, and the plasticine balls interact together so well you could think they are actual characters.
Overall this animation is something I want to have influence from when I make my own stop motion. I want to take influence from the fluidity and really good morphing so that it looks as believable as this one.
