Whilst looking through videos of stop motion i came across an animator who excels at the technique and has devised a unique twist on the classic stop motion animation. Patrick Boivin creates a series of stop motion animation which utilizes modern technology to create a three dimensional space in which the subject (i.e. a transformer) can be brought to life. His animations use camera movements that pan, rotate and move around the character whilst the film is playing which gives a very unique and real sense to the characters being animated. Boivin was a massive influence on my direction into stop motion for this project and his techniques bring something totally new to this 'old fashion' form of animation.
