My progress

So far, my progress is ok. I've done the start of the movie in animation-ish. I'm shooting most of the movie at home using stopmotion.

I've encountered a major problem- BB has lost her antennae. I have solved this problem by using BB's identical twin, also named BB. So, with this problem solved, I will continue filming.

I've done Boo's room- purple wallpaper with a poster of a cute eraser with a heart, window with the illusion that the sea is outside and an empty bookshelf as well as a bed.

I will film this scene next week when I bring Boo in.

What am I doing?

I have chosen to work with stop motion to do most of my project because I feel that I can make a much more interesting film with it. My film will mostly be shot at home... in my bathroom. BB lives in a 'house' at the top of a chair in the bathroom. I will shoot the parts where BB is in the house at school to make up for the time I am here. The parts where BB is making the journey to the 'fountain' will be shot at home. With my trusty friend blue tack, I will be able to give the illusion that BB is climbing the 'mountains'! The fact that BB's 'car' is a phone also gives the illusion of surrealism. I think that surrealism is essential when working with stop motion, otherwise the stop motion will look too much like real life and it will lose the whole effect. At the start, I am using animation-ish to put the title's in. There are separate letters that I have imported into animation-ish to have an exciting approach to the film. At the end, BB climbs up onto the sink and gets ready to go for a swim when I come in and wash my hands- all this soap drops in the pool and then BB gets sad and goes away to the house, upset that the adventure is over.

I really hope my stop motion video will work!



Here is my storyboard:

BB eraser adventures- the video

Projects

This is the first video of BB and Meghna's phone. My stop motion movie is going to be fairly epic- I want it to be about BB and the other erasers in my house. In the video above, BB is being chased by indeed, a VERY hungry mobile phone! BB tries to get around this obstacle, but realises that if she doesn't want to be eaten, she will have to provide the phone with something to eat, so she provides it with a frangipani which the mobile devours instead of BB. BB is very relieved, and the phone is happy. The phone lets BB climb onto it as a token of thanks and BB rides away on it.

The phone was meghna's and BB is property of me.

I have also made another video of the 'hand' attacks BB which is too realstic in my opinion, as the hand pushes BB to the point where is looks too video like.

I'm pretty much certain that I will use BB and co to star in the adventures of the rubbers. With the use of photoshop, I could make the video look really good.

I don't think I will do animation-ish because Mr Powell didn't like George the blob... He said the spiderweb didn't look right when clearly, by the use of imagination, it can!!!

I'm not sure what I want to do- one big epic adventure or a smaller adventure + George the blob animation.

I still have a bit of time to think about it, but I'm definitely doing the eraser adventure idea.

I'm uploading my video to youtube at the moment!
