Alex Palmer Lego City animation

This is an animation using flash which I did in March 2004 when I was 8. I used a camera fixed on a tripod and I moved the figures a little bit then took a picture, moved them a bit more and then took another picture and so on. In all I took 146 shots and the camera was set on low resolution - 640 x 480.

On part of the shot I wanted to have a hover car hovering. I used blutack to fix the hovercar so it looked like it was floating. I moved the car where I wanted it to go and made sure that when the man jumped out it wobbled. The man was also fixed with blutack so he could do a forward flip. I then cloned out the blutack which took a bit of time to do. When all the pictures were done I batched them to reduce them in size and put them into flash. The frame rate is 10fps and is 14.6 sec long.
