Way Back Home
A story created on a flight.
Dec 2019
Make stop motion on flight?
As an international student, I need to fly back and forth between the US and China once a while. Before getting on that 12 hours’ flight, a story just keeps catching my attention in my head that I really want to produce it. But I don’t have many tools, how could I make it?
So I bought a newspaper, a pen and a tape at the airport store. And sketched out the story line while waiting to get on board.
tear out figures
Getting on board, I started the production. Because I didn’t have any scissors or knives, I just used my hands to tear out the figures.
put up figures
Then I put up those figures in sequence with the tape I bought from the airport store to see if the transition is smooth.
post process
Because the lighting on the airplane is not bright enough, I later photographed and edited them at home.
Watch again.
I’m home.
