Experimenting with stop motion continues...

The following animation is an experiment with face paint and paper on the face to illustrate the start of the transform on the face. I have used a restricted colour palette to give the abstract and tribal style i wanted to achieve. This test has highlighted a few problems in my process. Its evident that some of the process was rushed as the transitions between some frames (particularly close the end) aren't very smooth. I like the fact its not as smooth as digital animation but i think its best for consistency that I brush up a little on my stop motion technique.

The actual face painting was quite successful, at times I feel its a little amateur looking as can be obvious at times that I have been painting on the face rather than the 'growing' effect I wanted to achieve. Overall I think it was a good first attempt at the face. The next test i will do, will be of the actress rather than myself. I think this should make it smoother.
