I've been too ambitious with my stop frame animation and have been going about it wrong from the start. Everything is too stiff and difficult to move, its all top heavy and moves of its own acord because all I have to anchor it to the ground is more plastercene and I have a headache!!
I am incredibly demoralised right now. I feel like I could do this no problem if I was in the right enviroment, namly my old college with its good equipment and suportive classmates/lecturers. I have to get 15 seconds of animation complete by tuesday and I've been working for 4 hours now, stoping and starting ebcause of problems, and I've created a grand total of 0.25 of a second.
I wish I'de done cutout animation instead.
