Trial Animation

This is my trial animation that I created just so I could get more familiar with the whole process of creating stop-motion and how Windows MovieMaker works.
To make this, I started off with a white blank piece of paper, a tri-pod with a camera on it facing the floor, and a marker pen so I could write out the title of the show. I started to take many shots of the piece of paper, and gradually I wrote out the title of the show, bit by bit, until I finally got the whole name on the sheet.
After finally finishing taking all of my photographs, I then uploaded them to my drive on the computer and opened them in Windows MovieMaker; I dragged all of the pictures into the editing bit of MovieMaker and shortened each clip so that the stop-motion flowed okay. After doing this, I realised that the stop-motion was still a bit jumpy but MovieMaker wouldn't let me shorten the clips anymore, so what I did was converted my clips to a movie file, and then opened a new MovieMaker project. With this new project, I dragged in my clip that I had just converted and right clicked on it and selected 'Speed Up, Double' so that it sped up my overall stop-motion and it fitted together better. I then converted this to a movie-file and my video was done.
With my trial stop-motion, I tried not to be too over-the-top and try too much, just incase it failed, but seeing as this one was just a simple one and it worked out okay, I think it turned out pretty successful and this sort of thing could be used for my final piece, but obviously a bit more advanced.
