This is an istop-motion collage animation of exquisite corpses by Steph, Taylor and I. To create our characters, we looked through old magazines and cut out any objects we thought we could possibly use. After we had all our items, we sat together as a group and made our characters. We used other objects such as the weapons (knife, fan etc) and the travelling egg for the briefcase which the weapons came out of. When we had all our characters and objects we wanted to use, we had a look at all characters and brainstormed some of the ideas which could involve our characters. We didn't have the whole idea at the start, so during the filming of our animation, if anyone thought of something new, we would run it past each other and then place it in the correct place in the movie. In the end we ended up coming up with something like this:

Stop-Motion, or also known as stop-action or frame-by-frame is an animation technique used to make a physically manipulated object to appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. An example of a Stop-Motion video can be seen bellow.

An exquisite corpse or also known as an 'exquisite cadaver' or ' rotating corpse' is a method of which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled; the result being known as the exquisite corpse. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule or by being allowed to see the end of what the previous person contributed. An example of an exquisite corpse is shown bellow, which was created by Diarmuid, Alan and Molly.
