Stop Motion Character Animation

Pink Water

For this assignment I decided to animate a lamb in a boat and a jumping fish. First I had to sketch on a paper to figure out the movement of each elements. I used my pink towel for the water, a makeup bag for the boat, a stuffed lamb, and a hand drawn fish on paper.  The water is undulating fast due to the current and the boat moves along with a rocking motion which is why I changed the surface of the water every single frame. The boat comes to a stop, and the lamb looks over when all of a sudden a giant fish jumps out of the water.  While the fish is in mid air , the lamb gets surprised and jumps backwards. He then stands up and meet the giant fish.
