Main Stop Motion Inspiration

Behind my idea to choose stop motion as a topic of interest I was looking at many different youtube videos which is mainly what inspired me to give it a go.  I came across many different video highlighted in the previous post.  These videos were some of the most intricate so I thought that they would show what I was trying to achieve quite well.  However, I came across a youtube channel called 'hottomolly1' - http://www.youtube.com/user/hottomolly1?feature=watch

I found her videos especially inspirational and I loved the many different messages that she could put across through her stop motion videos.  She has a particular group of videos called chalkboard imagination  These videos in particular I found more interesting to watch.  I loved the way she'd put all of the separate images together, spending hours on end to make it perfect.  All of her time and effort paid off and I think she should get a lot more credit than she does.  She is probably the main reason I wanted to experiment with stop motion.  Whether stop motion interests you or not, her videos can relate to individual people because of the variation of messages she conveys. 

One of my favourite videos by her is 'What If?' 

This is definitely one of the best videos she's made, not only is it complex and hard to make, she manages to put a very strong point across, which makes you think.. The way that she makes her audience feel this way is powerful but her editing skills and the way she puts all of the different images together really make the video.

I was extremely intrigued as to how she made it, which was when I saw a link to 'The making of chalkboard imagination.' I watched the video and truly appreciated the amount of time and effort that she puts into making each and every one of her videos.  The link to the making of video is below if you're curious. 

Some of the other videos that she has made have also inspired me a lot and I appreciate every single video she has made because all of them have a message in which are translated through the use of photography and film.

These are some of the other videos that she has created :

She has definitely been a big inspiration to me which is why I wanted to focus an entire blog post on her and her work.  If you want to see more of her videos then check out her youtube channel I mentioned at the beginning (Y)
