S.t.o.p. M.o.t.i.o.n. Intro

For our film opening we wanted to incorporate our production company intro, Moonrealm Pictures. In every film there are production companies that are featured in the first few seconds of the film by showing their intros. Take examples such as Lionsgate, Pixar, Dreamworks, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, etc. Though, unlike these major companies, Moonrealm Pictures will be featured as a stop motion intro.

What is stop motion?
Well, stop motion is a 2D or 3D animation technique to make any object appear to move on its own. The object in question, whether a ball or in our intro's case a simple piece of paper, is moved by small increments between individual photographs or frames, providing an illusion of movement when the sequence of photographs or frames are played back. Easier said than done.

For this part of the project I took full responsibility of completely this sequence due to the facts that I have the camera equipment and more experience than the others in my group in stop motion. I was inspired to utilize stop motion for this part because I find that stop motion is underrated and its ability to provide a completely different perspective is not exposed enough to the public. This task will be time consuming but I am determined to put my life into this project and create the best product.

Here is an example of how a stop motion paper logo would look like:
