Self Portrait

I have finally finished my self portrait project, creating and editing all of my scenes before adding music for the final product.



After getting all of the bits and pieces like my photographs I needed together, I was able to shoot all of my stop motion footage. I came to the conclusion that I enjoyed the idea of looking back on my memories the most so would use photographs in a big part of my animation. Alongside these, I wanted to include a few of my belongings like badges or drawings that present a little more about who I am. I'm happy with the overall result, although I think that some of the stopmotion could have been a bit slower with more frames as the photos are quite hard to see at times. 
The editing I did in Aftereffects was quite time consuming. I encountered the issue of having some of my files in the wrong frame rate, and it took extra work to sort this out; I have learned from this mistake though. I could also have improved some of my masking effects, although I did try hard to add other effects like shadows to give it some depth.
