Innovation-Angles!

I have been looking at a few different videos online to get a feel of what sort of thing is 'out there' already. I've noticed that when creating 3D videos people have become more innovative with their angles, trying to make the animation more realistic.

This video is called scacchi clay stop motion - chess clay stop motion  and was found on YouTube, it was created by Italian stop motion animator Riccardo Crocetta.

Throughout the video Crocetta uses a variety of shots, these include Ariel shots-looking over the game, low shots-allowing the viewer to feel as though they are in the game. High angled close ups, low angled close ups, medium shots and medium close ups. By including a variety of shots means it captures the attention of the viewer for longer, and also allows the viewer to be drawn in creating a realism of the overall video, and it also helps the viewer to 'forget' it is all animated.
