Target Holiday Stop Motion

Hand Animated and Directed by Ryan Hanson of The Howdy Gang for Target.

The intended feel was low frame rate stop motion at 8FPS, rather than the usual 12FPS. As Director of Photography, Digital Stop Motion Technician, Post Production Supervisor, my role on set was to ensure that all aspects of the image would be ready for the post-production pipeline.

Additionally, as Editor and VFX artist on the project, I did the rig removal, Rotoscoping, Retiming, and image matching before handing off to Volt for Color Correction, Finishing, and Versioning.
