Theater Stopmotion

At costuming school, we had a class on stagecraft and design. It was a really good class where we got to build miniature furniture and characters and with experiment with stage lights in combination with shapes and textures. Unfortunately, the Pandemic sent us all home before the end of the course so we had to finish and present our projects from home for the final exam of the course. Our teacher suggested we record a video of our scene and be as creative as we wanted about it. A friend of mine then suggested I make a stopmotion animation with the play highlights, and loaned me his lights to do so. It was so fun to spend 2 days lying flat on the floor with the mini theater and my camera. I had never done this before, and i realize now i should have taken about 4 times as many pictures,  but I am reasonably satisfied with it for a first project.

​

The play is 'The Bear' by Anton Chekhov.
