- Walking on trees vertically/ trees does not bend or characters defy gravity by walking
vertically

Stop Motion Animation of Falling

For this assignment I used a stop motion app to take all the images. I decided to use construction paper and create a scene. I wanted to have a child like feel to it so I went ahead and made it a bit more playful.  I thought it would be cool to do an animation of a falling apple from an apple tree rolling down a hill. Before shooting I did some test by dropping an apple and see how it drops if it rolls as it fall or is it steady.
