Stop Motion Animation of Falling.

The first thing I did was, of course, think up a concept for how I wanted it to fall (and WHAT I wanted to fall). I figured magnets would be easiest, because I could just set them up and snap them without having to worry about going into photoshop to edit myself out of every single frame. Once that was settled, I brainstormed like a bajillion different falls before deciding on kind of a diving-board scenario, which quickly turned into falling into a black vortex because I couldn't figure out how to use magnets to create a rippling water effect. How it was ACTUALLY done is that I waited until everyone vacated the house, set up the magnets how I pleased, and used the counter across from the refrigerator as a stand (in lieu of a tripod). Then I just shot it frame-by-frame until I was content, stuck it all into quicktime, and this is the final result!
