3. Process Work
I first started with brainstorming my ideas into the proposal slide provided by my tutor. There wasn't a theme yet so I searched a few type of style I wanted to go for.
The following week we were given our theme/topic that was optional to follow and I got my proposal approved so I could proceed with making the storyboard. Here is a part of the storyboard, you can view more in the proposal slides link above.
Figure 1 Proposal
After getting my feedback, my tutor said that my story was slightly too complicated and he said that kings usually never works which I tried showing. He suggested that I could either keep the part where the king does his work which I would have to recreate a whole new scene or I could just stick with the love story. In the end, I chose to keep the love story since it was the main plot of why the king was overthrown by his subjects.
Figure 2 Prop Making
Here is the process of making the props and the characters.
Figure 3 Shoot Setup
I created a setup for the shoot using my previous A2 paper from my foundation days.
Figure 3 Frames and Importing
After the shooting process, I exported the file into my drive and imported it into After Effects.
In After Effects, I dragged all the footages into the composition and adjusted the timing. I had to also fix some of the lighting in some footages because of the camera flickering.
Figure 4 Editing in After Effects and Premiere Pro
After fixing all of the lighting issues, I proceeded with adding a background in some scenes. Then I added the final touches with some graphics I drew and imported a few audios in Premiere Pro and finally exported my video.
Lastly, it was time to publish the video on YouTube.
Final Outcome:

3. Reflection
During this project, I was pretty excited to make a stop-motion animation since in another on going module I was researching on stop-motion animation. The beginning was slightly rough since I had to brainstorm about what I wanted to make. An idea popped up in my mind since the topic was regarding tarot cards. I decided to base my characters of historical fantasies where kings ruling their empires and witches existed. Once I had my proposal approved I immediately started on my storyboard and then moved on to editing the video. I had a lot of trouble editing the background in a few of the scenes which had me stressed out since I couldn't find a way to fix it. In the end, I did edited the background in a tedious manner and was able to complete the project on time.
