Inspiring Music Video

Here i found an awesome Music Video which uses similar techniques which I want to use for mine.Strawberry Swing is a visually stunning stop-motion video starring Coldplay’s Chris Martin in the lead role as a flying superhero fighting giant squirrels, sea monsters, and ultimately, getting the girl.

Dolly research

A camera dolly is a specialized piece of film equipment designed to create smooth camera movements. The camera is mounted to the dolly and the camera operator and camera assistant usually ride on it to operate the camera. The dolly is operated by a dolly grip who is a dedicated technician trained in its use.



Me and Jordan have been looking at many videos of how to make a dolly, here is is one!http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-build-your-own-ten-foot-long-camera-dolly-track-175170/

Chosen song for Music Video

Out of many potential songs me and Jordan chose a song called White Winter Hymnal by a band called Fleet Foxes. Because it would be hard to get in touch with the band, we have decided to do a cover of the song where me and Jordan will be singing and producing it.

This is the song.....http://vimeo.com/1309452

Thursday's practical lesson

On Thursday, Me and Jordan will be making a dolly which would hold our tripod and move up and down on wheels. Also if there is enough time I will be making a questionnaire and Jordan will be constructing a storyboard.

Thursday 18th- Having decided we were to ambitious and I need to do further research in to constructing a dolly and Jordan needs to do further research on animation techniques.
