The Idea!

For this project I am working with my friend, Amy Young.

Our idea is to create a video for the song Queen of Hearts by the American boy band We The Kings. It's quite  a romantic, 'lovey dovey' song, so we aim to play on the lyrics and create a stereotypical video with a couple.

We have 2 actors planned to film for us and will be filming with a Sony A1 connected to the lights in the TV Studio. We need a lot of height in order to film as our actors will be laid out on the floor, moving to each frame that we film.

Effectively, this is how we will film our 90 second stop motion animation ----> VIEW HERE! 

This music video by Oren Lavie, "Her Moving Elegance" shows just how much fun stop motion animation can be.

There are roughly 3,225 still photos for the entire video, using one camera hanging from the ceiling.
It took them 4 weeks to create an animated story board and only 2 days of shooting for the live actors to recreate the animation.






We have cut out all the necessary cut out props that we need and the equipment is booked, all ready to film. We will remove a black curtain to lay on the ground and mount a camera from the bars in the ceiling in our TV Studio.
