Brainstorm Ideas
Lingerie Overload

I aim to take elements from all the images above and use them as my inspirations and to guide me if I chose to go ahead with my idea of 'Lingerie Overload'. I'd like to include features such as; the fainting chair, with heads and headless mannequins, lingerie on the wall, antique frames, mirrors and patterned wallpaper. All the images represent a rather elegant and feminine feel and I hope that the same idea does come across when viewing my final piece.

Brainstorm Ideas
Lingerie Overload

I'm not sure of who the artist is that had created these designs as they don't seem to reveal any information about themselves and only seem to be selling their work online. Nevertheless these some designs that I will be looking at for inspiration when it comes to designing my lingerie mannequins. The intricate designs and realistic shapes of the lingerie sets is something I will be trying to replicate in my designs too.

Lingerie Overload

Her art expresses female sexual fantasies, from the point of view of the woman, an imaginary fact of purity and sensual carelessness. Every feminine figure is illustrated with simple linearity of the section of the pen, the lines evidences the intricate exciting details of the lingerie.

These are the types of images that I aim to create, ones which include plenty of intricate detail and extreme lust like positions. I plan to keep my drawings as just line drawings and only involved the lingerie sets rather than accessories that are evident in the images above. Makiko has been a great inspiration when it comes to lingerie drawing which is something I've done before. I always aim to draw just as neatly but with so much detail when I draw bodies wearing lingerie. Makiko's images show how the underwear perfectly contours the body which I will practice on to make sure my lingerie mannequins really do look like they're wearing perfect fitting lingerie.

Wiki How
How To Create A Stop Motion Animation

1 - Get objects and figures to use in your movie. Some good choices include clay, wire, Lego or similar building block figures. Be imaginative in the types of objects and figures that might work for your movie
You can also use a whiteboard, animating figures and editing the drawing slightly with each frame.

2 - Set up the figures (characters) in a particular position and within the "set."

3 - Place your camera in front of the "set" that you are going to take photos of.Make sure that it can view the entire frame. It is very important to support the camera or place it so that it is sitting steadily and cannot shake as you take the photos. Otherwise, the end result will appear chaotic and lack continuity.

4 - Set up a good source of lighting. It might be a lamp or a flashlight. If your light is flickering, you need to shut off other sources of light like blinds or curtains.

5 - Take a single photo of the figure in the selected position.

6 - Begin the movement sequence. Move the figure bit by bit, in very small movements each time. It may be the entire body if the figure is walking, or it may just be an arm, head or leg. If you are moving only one body part and you find that the figure is tilting or threatening to fall over, make use of poster tack under the feet or other area touching part of the set.

7 - Repeat the movement sequence until your action step is completed, or your camera's memory is full.

8 - Save the pictures on to your computer in an easy to remember place.

9 - Use your movie-making software as instructed (or see two popular software methods below). There are a few key steps regardless of what movie-making software you use.

Import the pictures into the desired program.
Make sure the pictures are at a very small duration so they flow fast. If you are disappointed by the speed at which your program can animate, try exporting the project as a video file (before adding audio), then importing it again and using a speed effect on it such as double speed (these effects only work on video clips). Then, if the resulting speed is sufficient, you may add your audio.
Add titles and credits if you would like. You can also add effects or transitions, if desired.
Make sure you like the end result of your stop motion animation. Keep going if you need to complete more actions to create a story.
Save the video. If you plan on having multiple stop motion segments, save each segment as a separate movie. Once the entire group of segments is completed, you can import all the segments into the final movie. This will make it will look much better and it will be easier to finalise.

Film Making Guide

Why Make a Short?
There are many reasons why you might make a short film and these will impact upon how you go about it.
Why make films?
Where is the film going to be shown?

Why make films?

Making a film - be it a short or a feature - is largely a labour of love, so it's always worth clarifying why you are embarking on such madness and adventure. You could be making it for:

Experience - you might want to experiment with pulling a team together to make a story on film.

A show reel - you might be pursuing a career in film making and want to demonstrate your skills.

Partnerships - you'd like to try working with certain people to see if you can go on to collaborate on projects in the future.

Kudos - you may have found a high profile director/writer/actor, who'll help you raise your film making profile, or want to use your film to elevate your own industry profile.

Testing an idea out - you've always thought a certain story would work well on screen or you've got a feature film idea that you want to try out on a small scale first.

Money - you may have been asked to work on a production with a budget to pay its crew. (This is very rare as short films don't generally pay in any financial dividends.)
Where is the film going to be shown?

Your reasons for making the film should also relate to where the film is going to be shown. You could be making it for:

Your front room - many filmmakers start out by testing their ideas on family and friends.

A show reel - maybe you're building a body of work to prove to others that you have film making skills and/or to persuade them to give you some funding to make another film.

The Internet - a great means of getting your work out there and getting feedback from a wide range of people, internationally.

Television - if your film is of a high quality, a television channel may screen it, especially if it fits into a slot with other short films.

The cinema - one of the hardest places to get a short film screened, but some very successful shorts have been shown before feature films on general release. Some cinemas also run short film events.

Festivals - a great opportunity to get your film on the big screen, watched by an audience of industry people and by film making peers.

The answers to 'why' and 'where' determine the standard you need to work to - there is a minimum standard of technical quality required for broadcast on television and a very different quality for transfer from tape to film.

Why you are making a short film, and where you want it to go, will determine what you shoot on, which equipment you use, budgets, crew numbers and potential markets. You and your team's objectives set the parameters of what you are going to create. Be clear about these objectives and then crack on with the project.

There are small pots of money available to help create short films - especially those on digital formats. The industry is also full of people who are willing to do work at reduced rates because they like an idea, they like someone involved with the project or they simply remember what it was like to start out in film making. They might also help because they think it would be good experience for their staff or their show reel.

Obsession 4

This was a pretty cool video I discovered when looking at stop motion short clips. I appreciate the way a story has been created about a blue m&m and its journey alone to another larger m&m's packet which it unfortunately doesn't seem to reach. I thought the concept was rather clever and the use of the different types of sweets and there movement reinforces the blue m&m's loneliness.

Candy - Short Stop Motion Film

Obsession 3

This video comes across rather spooky to me and also makes me think that it's been created to deliberately cause a strong reaction. However ever song really did within the footage and the editing seems great too which makes it appear more like a music video rather than a short film. It’s a combination of album songs and images which range from a more typical music video style of showing the artist wandering about London dressed as a sanitised punk to the more political leanings of the director showing footage of police brutality and the war.
