Just for fun, Jon, our video pro made an animated scene using leftover photo and home movie materials. As you’ll see, oval-cut pictures formed the cloud, old slides became the rain, a reel of film posed as the sun and strips of negatives created the flower’s stem. Creativity at its best!
Check it out here and see below for Jon’s interview:
Warning: no customer memories were harmed in the making of this video.
How did you go about creating this video?
I took old pieces of media that we had lying around our office, and formed a scene that showed a flower growing. I used photos reels of film negatives and slides to create this scene.
Have you ever made something like this before?
I have never made any stop frame animation- I have made other videos but nothing like this.
What was the most difficult part?
Honestly, nothing was very difficult, just very tedious…every frame i had to move every object to create realism and make the video smooth
What was your favorite part of making this video?
My favorite part of this movie is the last scene where the bird comes in from right to left. I think the bird is a nice touch and worked out very well.
How did you come up with the name of the video?
Photosynthesis? I thought it would be a good name because it is describing what is happening in the video and in the word “photo” is involved and that is what materials I’ve used in this film.
Any other thoughts?
I can’t wait to make more of these videos, they are very fun!
