Stop Motion Animation Artist Statement

For my stop motion animation project, I chose to make a clip about a bird who tries to be like it’s elder. I don’t know what I should title it though. I thought of a couple ideas before I decided on this one. It was going really good when I first started but then I came across a setback. While I was working on my project, my camera broke, which made me switch to working on the rest on the clip on an iPad. Due to that, there is a noticeable jump in quality in the clip. I think if that hadn’t happened, I’d be more pleased with the end result. Besides that, I think it came out okay. I think some movements could be more fluid. Also, I don’t like how you can see the table in the video. I would’ve been satisfied if for the video, you could just see the paper, and not the table, which is my mistake. Also, at the end of the video I lost a piece of my set. There is supposed to be a salad bowl on the picnic blanket, but I lost it somehow. I didn’t feel like making another salad bowl so I just continued to finish my project without the salad bowl on the blanket (which really bothers me). I think this had the potential to be better if I hadn’t come across those inconveniences.
