An experimental piece of stop motion animation, created to grasp the concept of producing sequential photographs mixed with Photoshop manipulation techniques. As you can imagine if all the 172 photos taken were edited individually in Photoshop it would take forever! So we were shown a technique of how to manipulate the image automatically.
The process was:
- Open Photoshop.
- Window - Actions.
- Open the first phonograph.
- Create and name a new folder and set in the actions window. Once this is done it will begin to record everything you do with the image and you can start to manipulate the photo.
- Save the image in a new folder.
- Press stop on the actions window.
- File - Automate - Batch.
- Find the actions just recorded.
- Choose the source folder and destination folder.
- Change the file naming to a 4 digit serial code (this is so the computer puts all the images in the right order).
- Tick the Override Action 'Save As' Commands box.
- Click 'OK'.
Now Photoshop begins to manipulate all the photos in the source folder, names them and saves them to the destination folder.
