In the second week, we were introduced to shadow puppetry. This shifted our focus from physical objects to light and silhouettes. We started thinking about our final outcome and created a story along with a storyboard. I contributed by visualizing scenes and helping translate ideas into frames that would work in shadow form.
Along with this, we were also introduced to stop motion animation. As an experiment, we used a blue cellophane sheet and tried to create a breathing effect by moving it slightly in each frame. I was involved in executing this process and observing how small changes between frames create movement. This was one of the most interesting parts for me because it required patience and attention to detail.
Working in the group during this phase involved constant discussion and trial and error. We had to align our ideas and make sure everyone was contributing to both the conceptual and execution stages.
