final safe sex stop motion, editing process and conclusion

Hello.

Here is my final stop motion film!!! (make sure to watch it in 1080p, or a higher quality!!!)

What I did well:

I have experience on colour correction as I've used it when editing my previous projects this academic year. Though I didn't use a single filter on my stop motion animation, I did use colour balancing. I maximised the intensity/contrast of some images and increased/decreased the temperature and saturation in some shots. I also used different hues for some scenes to make them pop, using the curve tool to make each scene fluent in colour.

Examples of color correction:

I think each image flows with the music/narration and doesn't look choppy or poorly edited as i've used the razor tool to sync the visuals, bgm and narration together. I've learnt from my previous audio mistakes (in my brixton promotional film), lowering the volume of the music in certain parts when my voiceover plays so that the audience can hear what i'm saying clearly.

The images themselves fit together and don't have any major gaps in between them.

What I didn't do well:

In one shot, the white background moves as when I was shooting, the paper lifted up from it's fixed position. Having a fixed object move in a stop motion can break the entire flow of the video so I should consider using stronger, sturdier materials for backdrops next time.

I also could have narrated more on this video. The song in the background has a lot of lyrics so fitting narration in proved difficult for me. Next time, I could use a instrumental, but I really wanted to use this song for BGM so I stuck to my decisions.

Lastly, I tried to upload this video to youtube but it got blocked in 200+ countries for copyright music, even though i'd stated the original track wasn't mine. I got in touch with the record company who gave me permission afterwards to upload this onto vimeo.com. I should be wary about the music I use in my videos as this could get me into trouble in the future.

What I improve on:

I could've taken more shots to make the stop motion more fluent in pace!!! Though it is fluent enough, taking more shots and making the proximity of the fruits build up gradually can make a stop motion more professional looking.
