Stop Motion - Bouncing Ball

Stop Motion - Bouncing Ball from Daniel Harper on Vimeo.

For this project the class was split into 3 groups of 5. We had to show how speed, gravity and impact can effect the appearance and the rise and fall of a ball. After my group and I came up with the initial impact of the ball it didn't take long after for us to come up with the full stop motion idea. We used construction paper as the medium and a D-SLR camera along with a program called Dragon Frame to create the video clip. Multiple pictures were taken to complete this video. We kept adding things in when ever one of us came up with a good idea, which made the process take longer but Dragon Frame was so easy and simple to use that adding frames wasn't stressful at all.
