Remove Green BG and Paper Cutout Test

I made a test about removing green background and cutout animation.

Here's the tutorial I found online. If you are interested, click here.

But the armature is made of metal, the green color reflects on its surface. When I tried to remove the green bg, some unhappy effects happened on the armature's figure. 

Armature Test

With the help of Kelvin Wong, JieQian Jie and YiChao Lu, this armature was accomplished in 2 days.

I did this test last Friday.

After the tutorial with Neil yesterday, I do get a lesson in stop motion. The timing of this test is ok, but all the inbetweens are missed. Actually, there is a standard and acceptable way, which is to take 2 frames every time you move the puppet. It is called double-frame, and means you need to create 12 different images for each second of animation. I will continue to do animation tests, including the green screening (replace backgrounds).

Sell Guitar -- animatic

This animatic was finished yesterday. The story is about selling the guitar. It happened on an early morning. At that time, Mr. X was still enjoying his sweet dream. While, the buzzering from doorbell woke him up. The noisy pushed him to get up. when he opened the door, he saw the salesman standing right outside the house. Mr. X tended to shut the door after the salesman introduced himself. He was totally not interested in the guitar. However, the salesman persuaded Mr. X not to shut the door and he caught the chance to show off his talent. He began to imitate Elvis Presley, John Lennon that appealed Mr. X's illusion. Mr. X was picturing himself as a big star. Lots of sexy lips were floating around him. A car was coming to pick up him.

--- The scene that the salesman was imitating Elvis Presley and John Lennon

      I am thinking of using the replacement technic. The salesman's face transfers to those big stars' and he imitates their typical pose, costume, hair style...

--- The scene shows that what's Mr. X imagining, I will use the cardboard cut out style

Anyway, a new idea came up during today's tutorial. What about the story happening on the market? What about not just selling guitar?
