Optimus Prime “Stronger”

The assignment for class was to use stop motion techniques to create a :30 video. Bunmi and I partnered up and once she mentioned that her kid had a Transformer toy, we were off and running.

My first idea was to score it to “I Go To Work “, but ultimately we decided on “Stronger.”

This assignment was a ton of fun. Editing was the hardest part because once we cut out all the mistakes and boring stuff, we only had about 17 secs worth of stuff and basically had to double it. The moving frame transitions were completely an accident that we ended up liking. We had been trying to throw fade in/out slugs in there and Final Cut wasn’t cooperating (and we didn’t quite know how to use it, but that’s neither here nor there). We liked the way it looked and decided to keep it.
