I enjoyed doing this shoot - Using a setting like this meant that while the background was static the forground could move and change more obviously. This is a technique that is obvious in the Her morning elegance stop motion, wher the bed stays constant and static as a background for the change and motion of the foreground.
n this shoot i really wanted to use the objects I chose for 3 reasons.
1) The coffee cup as an "easy" stop motion tool and it features in many stop motion videos on youtube

2) in "A Creative Mess" one of the images in the mess of photos that stands out most for me is the coffee cup
3) The newspaper has that element of time and how quickly time renders information useless or irelevent. "todays news paper is tomorrows fish and chip wrapper." This is the concept that will be shown in my next shoot.
Some things that I found hard show up on the first contact sheet. To get the dancing quality of the cup i needed to use wire and hand movement to make it move while the camera (using a timer and a multiple image setting) took 4 photos. On contact sheet one you can see both my hand and the wire quite blatantly, which could be photoshopped but would be better if there werent present at all.
My hand appeares again on sheet 4 but this is just a sign on my impatiance and desire to get thigs done quickly.
