After a group discussion, we decided to improve some details on our illustrated elements.

Jaycee covered illustrations of most ingredients. I created utensils, charcoals with fire, lettuce and sesame leaves.

Fig 1.1.8 Final project shooting progress

We used my phone to shoot our frames since the phone can achieve different angles including a slanted top point of view. Also, we fixed the phone with some tapes to ensure consistency throughout the frames.

We took 165 photos in total, with extra 6 ending-credit frames and 17 title frames.

Fig 1.2.1 Final project video title & ending credits

We created the title and ending credits in a simple digital stop-motion form.

We chose to use "ROKO" for the title and ending credits of our video. "ROKO" is a typeface that I designed as the final project of my advanced typography class. The characteristics of "ROKO" are derived from both the Roman alphabet and the Korean alphabet, making it a perfect fit for our video's overall theme and aesthetic.

REFLECTION

Experience

For the final project, we had to create a stop-motion video as a group. Throughout the project, first and foremost, we had to complete a proposal with a solid concept, supported by references and a storyboard. Then, we proceeded to create all the necessary elements for the final video and arranged them in aesthetically pleasing compositions to be photographed. Lastly, we focused on composing all the frames to bring our stop-motion video to life. 

Observation

I observed that proposing a strong storyline and concept was more challenging than I had anticipated. Our group had to come up with three different ideations to meet the requirements for our proposal. According to Mr. Martin's feedback and my own experience throughout this final project, I realized that each scene needed to be visually appealing while also effectively conveying the storyline in a clear manner. I also learned that creating stop-motion videos requires a significant amount of time.

Findings

I found that engaging in this final project proved to be an enjoyable experience, providing us with a refreshing break from screens as we immersed ourselves in the world of arts and crafts. Moreover, working collaboratively as a group on the final project allowed me to have lasting memories and a strong sense of solidarity.
