Day 1
The Investigation
Original upload date: July 12, 2010
Inspired by the
Ages 25 & Up
P.I.Joe comic
, this stop motion was set in the 1930-40s, and was done with a black and white filter. The filter effect was a huge 'cheat' in this film because is covered up all the lighting mistakes and funky colors on the characters. The main figure in the film is almost an exact copy of the character that was in the comic. Everything was the same, the figure, the head, and even the same hat. Though there is one difference between my version, and Mr. 1337W422102's version. The legs. I used the legs from the RoC Cobra Commander, as opposed to the legs that were on the PP SE.
The film was by far the hardest to film out of all my stop motion productions, for many reasons. I had no tripod, poor lighting equipment, and a lot of the shots were filmed within a set that was extremely difficult to navigate through. Filming took about 3-4 days, and editing took even longer. Because Windows Movie Maker is so old, it constantly froze, causing massive frustration. But it was all worth it when the final product came in. I showed everyone in my family, and all were impressed with what I had produced.
Since this was my first actual stop motion, it was very hard to decipher and understand. So, in order for you to understand what's going on, I'd suggest reading this first...
A private eye investigator happens to witness a mugging of a woman on the side of the street. When the culprit runs away, he sees that he had dropped a mysterious note that leads him to the groups base of operations. Once there, he witnesses a trade going on between two different groups of people. The ones working for the mugger were supposed to pay for supplies but instead killed the other men, thus keeping the money and the supplies. The investigator is just about to storm in when the woman shows up. Realizing they're on the same side, they decide to take them down together. They fight off the troops and let the leader escape. The investigator goes after the leader to catch him. Just as he leaves, the woman goes inside the building to look around. The investigator wrecks the leader's car. Just as he's about to get shot, the leader of the other gang shows up, wanting revenge for the death of his men. So, he kills the mob leader, the woman and the investigator.
Okay, now that you're done, here it is, the finished film,
The Investigation.
