Veins Stop Motion


This is a very short video, "Stop Motion Test", that I found after searching for stop motion examples, I wanted to see if I could get some examples of smooth stop motion so I could find out how many frames per second other people had used.
This video is not particularly smooth however I really liked the premise of ink spreading throughout a character's body - immediately I thought of colour being integrated into the character after it had started appearing on the walls and had begun to snake towards him. Initially I wanted the colour to pool near him and a physical object, such as a colour ball, come from that which would then roll up the protagonist and become assimilated into his skin when it reached his hand. We could then use this video as a basis for creating the spread up through the protagonist's body.
I am keen to try this out so when we begin filming, I am going to suggest we do a test run to see how smooth we can get it and if we can make the veins appear more under the surface and less obviously drawn on.
