Stop Motion - First Attempt

I decided to practice the stop-motion animation shots of my sheep as not only do I need to plan the movement of the sheep and their fluidity, but I also have to work with iMovie to edit the stills together.

This is my initial stop-motin attempt, it includes all of the shots taken. The only problem is that the sheep appears to be walking along the back-board of the bed, whereas it should be jumping. To alter the motion of the sheep I deleted some of the stills taken.

In this version I have only deleted some miner movements or duplicates of the sheep. This gives the sheep better movement and a judderyness I was aiming for, yet it still appears to be walking rather than jumping.  




Finally I deleted major sections of stills, it has created a movements that is slightly to quick for what I was aiming for. But has helped as I now know for my final piece that this type of movement is not right. I will be using a pace closer to the second edit, and make the sheep jump three times over the characters head rather than the initial one jump that appears to be more of a walk.
