I was thinking about using Lego or Lego Technic figures, since they pose well for stop motion. I wanted to portray some kind of struggle because that felt more interesting to me than portraying something more positive. As I was gathering them and brainstorming more, I came across my hexbugs. Their naturally jerky movements felt oddly suited to stop motion. As I set them all running together, they immediately made me think of some kind of party. So I thought I could do a kind of (silly) struggle of one lonely hexbug trying to join a party, and despair as the hexbug didn&#8217;t succeed. I also thought it&#8217;d be interesting to combine using the hexbugs in both live motion and stop motion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"first\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><br \/>\nFuture directions\/uncompleted elements<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"first\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Film the ramp sequences with a horizontal shot instead of vertical<\/li>\n<li class=\"first\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Use shifts in lighting to accentuate different moods, e.g., darker lighting on lonely green hexbug shots<\/li>\n<li class=\"first\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Get rid of stretched effect on final green hexbug shots- it was an experiment to try to give more weight, &#8220;despair&#8221; feeling to those final shots, but it seems mostly to make those shots feel less cohesive with the rest of the film<\/li>\n<li class=\"first\">Improve blending of audio\n<ul>\n<li class=\"first\" style=\"text-align: left;\">fix the skip between shots around 0:16<\/li>\n<li class=\"first\" style=\"text-align: left;\">bring in the &#8220;despair&#8221; theme more subtly, it comes in too strong<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Client: Educational Design for Media Environments course Time frame: 1 week Date: October 2014 Problem: Create a short (30 seconds-2 minutes) film that evokes an emotion Solution design: Music credits: &#8220;Poker Face&#8221; by Lady Gaga &#8220;Despair and Triumph&#8221; by Kevin MacLeod, via\u00a0Incompetech.
