Early tests - also on group blog

My early tests:

Snail test - testing sculpting and movement

This is a stop motion test of approximately 200 photos together to make a 9 second movie, using 25 frames per second. The camera is kept steady using a tripod and stays in the same position. The only material used in this is white modeling clay.





Red virus test - testing what the virus might look like

Another stop motion test, again using only modeling clay, though this time experimenting with different colours, as well as home made clay. Some of the shots are out of focus but if used correctly this effect could prove quite effective and interesting. Again, 25 fps.
