Falcon Fly By (Animation)

Here is a short clip of the falcon flying by the moon I made for latest animated feature. It is the first time I've done any stop motion like animation. The ship is made from lots of photographs I made of a falcon model I bought that I took with my iPAD. I used a milk crate type file box lined with black card stock as a shadow box and lit the model from above. Then took lots of photos as I rotated it on its stand. I separated the ship from the black background and removed the stand to get the ship images I needed for the animation.
