Create a stop motion with sound. You must have at least three scenes (or different shots in different settings) for this assignment. You must use cinemagraphs. To learn how to do a cinemagraph, make sure to look over the tutorial available on the syllabus webpage for the week of September 11-18. Some students in class already know how to do cinemagraphs, do feel free to ask them questions on how to develop one after you have completed the tutorial.

The basic rules of the first assignment are relevant for the second: the subject matter must be successful in two ways: 1) It must push the aesthetics of stop motion this time in combination with the aesthetics of cinemagraphs, meaning that the work would not be successful any other way, and 2) It must show a complexity through self-reference, meaning that the work gains its autonomy by acknowledging its limitations of stop motion in combination with cinemagraph effects while implementing sound.

• You are free to focus on any concept or subject of your choice. If you're not sure, you can, again, find motivation and interests in your statements for each of the Fluxus films you chose to discuss in your first weekly assignment. If You are having difficulty coming up with a subject please schedule a meeting to discuss your ideas.
• The stop motion can be in black or white, color, or can use any special effects you may want to add with any software of your choice. You will be graded this time on the quality of your video and lighting.
• The video cannot be longer than 30 seconds, and cannot be less than 15 seconds.
• You must shoot your own footage, but you can use some pre-existing material if it is necessary for your idea. Go over this option with the instructor before moving ahead.
• You video should make some type of commentary on an issue of your interest: politics, culture, gender, class difference, history of video art or formal aspects of video as a medium, or other subject you may be researching at the moment.
