We have been toying with the idea of using stop motion animation in the choruses of our music video, using the character of Jack and other band members all dancing, with each still image being cut in time with the fast paced and vigorous beat of the opening music and chorus.
Another artist who has employed the use of stop motion animation for one of their music video’s is British rapper Plan B with his video 'No Good' from the album 'Who Needs Actions When You Got Words'. Directed by Daniel Levi, the rapper, formally known as Ben Drew, is surrounded by various cuddly toys, kitchen utensils ,clothing and a large assortment of other household objects, all brought to life with the use of this simple animation technique. I will look at this video in depth when I plan what shots will be needed for our stop motion animation sequence in our music video.

  1. Nick,
    This is a good example of a stop motion animation video, and i think it is something we should deffinately consider doing for short parts of our video. I think it would be too much work to do a whole video in stop motion animation in the short amount of time we have.
