After experimenting with stop motion i started to think about my sound track. I have been given:
02 Bach (JS)_ Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 - 01. Variation 1.
The previous experiments that i have done do not really work with this track. The music is very flowing and moves up and down but yet still remains very fluid, so i thought to myself what else is fluid, water? But water is also fast and would be hard to capture with stop motion. Then i started to think even more simple, and i came up with a line. A black line that draws smooth, fluid curves just like the music.
A close friend of mine did a piece of stop motion a couple of years ago of a screwed up paper ball. It was only simple but i really liked it. I liked the jerky movement as it rolled around on the floor and it obviously stuck in my mind because it was one of the first things to pop in my head when i was thinking about stop motion.
I decided that i was going to use his idea with the paper ball but expand it with my own addition.
Heres my storyboard of what it should look like.

Here is the paper ball rolling around a little then stopping and starting to open itself up. The camera will be behind it, following it.
Here it finishes opening and ends up a flat piece of paper then a black spot appears on it. towards the last two frames here the camera moves back and up onto a small tripod so it can capture the whole shot. A line starts to protrude out of the black spot.
Here the line has curved out of the spot and off the paper onto a white surface. The camera moves back, still on the tripod and the line continues towards it. The camera then continues to move to keep it all in shot as the line diverts itself away from the camera and starts swirling towards the wall. The line then goes up onto the wall and starts to write some letters while the camera moves in on it.
The line then continues to spell out 'stop motion' on the wall and the camera stays stationary. On frame 23 the camera moves right in on the letter 'n' and follows the line as it continues off the 'n' and back onto the white surface.
These are the last 3 frames. The line finishes off in a black spot like it started and the camera is moved back out to capture the whole piece. The last two frames are repeated so the image can be clearly viewed.
Now its time to try and capture this animation on camera.
