This was definitely one of the most frustrating things ive done in stop motion. I really don't understand how Oli gets his pieces so smooth, maybe I'm following the reference too closely but it looks quite a bit shaky to me. I couldn't finish it in one day so i left to come back the next day which wasn't really that smart of me as it took me so long to get back to where i left off and finish off the remained of the bar sheet. The end piece i would say is quite accurate the reference but it definitely could be better. Stop mo really does hurt me but i know it helps.
First off I have to start by staying this was definitely the most painful day I've experienced. The unforgiving nature of stop motion angers me to a level I can't understand. I will learn to love this as I can see the benefits and skills it teaches, a real life practical application of timing and spacing. Joe and Johnny always say don't start an animation without planning so I've been strictly abiding by those rules, which tends to mean I spend a good amount of time planning before I even enter the stop motion room.
