Here is the 3rd Stop motion commercial I made while working as an intern at Camp Woodward last summer. The idea was to illustrate how the Digital Media program at Camp Woodward utilizes tons of Professional grade equipment. From DSLR's, top-tier video cameras, lighting, stages, computers, software, and even GoPros, this commercial illustrates how this particular camp works all the areas of video and photography production under one roof. In this commercial, all the equipment get together one night to have a break dance battle to clarify if one of them is better than the other, until they realize that they all work together to produce real quality work. Which is what the Digital Media camp at Woodward strives to do with each camper that attends that camp. For one whole week, professional instructors in video and photography work with the campers, showing them how to use their video/photo cameras to the best of their abilities. We also teach them how to use professional software like Final Cut Pro 7, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe After Effects. All in all, we hope to give the campers the knowledge to go out and create more creative content with the knowledge we give them during their week session with the Digital Media program.  

I worked on this for 4 weeks every night when everyone was gone and no one was around, so there were many sleepless nights. But, I got done with a little help from some friends, and I can say this is one of the most complex stop-motion animations I have ever done. I know there are several tweeks here and there that would've made this a tad bit more awesome, but I still put in as much effort as I could muster and that's what counts. 

All the DSLR's, Video cameras, GoPros, lights, backdrops, tripods, iMacs, and what not all belong to Camp Woodward. All the music used in this video is royalty free music. 

(But just to make sure that credit is given where it's due, I used PRETTY GREEN ONIONS by DJ SHRAPNEL).
