Stop Motion Animation of Falling

To create my animation, I used the straight ahead method. So, that meant that I had to do some pre-planning. I  thought about the spacing I needed to create a believable fall and created small markers on the floor nearby for reference. I would also check my frames on my camera now and then to double check my spacing and timing. Most importantly, I kept in mind a small story that I could tell in this short animation and came up with a transformer chasing a balloon.

Here was my workstation:

Also, here is a bonus cut:

Why? Because no Transformer movie is complete without explosions.
