- moving black and white dots all over the screen, increasing and decreasing in size for atmosphere
- slightly shaky camera
- terrible sound quality with a static background noise
- constant dramatic music
- stop motion animation techniques for anything supernatural
- the camera keeps its distance, not much emotional attachment to the characters
- often only one light source which creates impressive shadows
- not many background noises, and not many environmental noises either, only obvious noises and the dramatic music
- mostly black and light grey but not a big variety of grey tones implemented
After thinking about all my notes I decided to ditch the narrators voice and work with dramatic music instead and I will also concentrate on mimicking the stop motion animation and creating a top layer for the whole animation for nostalgic purposes.
This is the model of my hookworm so far.
Feedback please!
Edit: Some lights and different Lamberts!
can't really see your model, Mailin :(
ReplyDeleteShould be better now :)
DeleteOkay - I think your work needs some 'thickness' - right now, he's wafer-thin around the mouth - as if he's only a few mm thick; if this creature was a puppet, made by people on a budget, it would likely look more like this in terms of its physicality:

In short - you need some actual musculature around the jaws etc and a sense of thickness/texture to its skin.
