I had a small problem just before I was ready to start shooting and that was that I was left without a project partner. This was an issue because I would have found it difficult to be both the hand and also the person shooting, while moving the character as well.
Thankfully, I found a friend who was free on Tuesday evenings and was also available on other days, who said he would help me out and be the hand.
We began shooting then.
I found Dragon frame easy enough to use, my only complaint was that it tended to freeze quite often and there was a bit of a delay sometimes while taking the pictures.
We did a lot of shooting on the first week and I was hoping to get the whole thing shot by the end of the second week, which we would have managed only I handed in the camera late when I returned it and that left me banned for a week which wasn't ideal.
During the week I was banned I did some stuff on After Effects and learned the basics.
We ended up finishing shooting on the Tuesday that I was finally allowed to get out a camera again.
There were a few issues that I had with shooting. Firstly, I found timing hard. Not so much because I wasn't sure about how many frames to do but more so because Michael's hand got very sore having to be elevated for long periods of time. For this reason I tried to rush through shooting. This resulted in some of the sequences appearing rushed.
Apart from this I was happy overall with the final footage and I was ready to start editing!
