Stop Frame Animation Idea

My Idea

My idea for a stop motion animation is to have a little play-doh creature that comes alive and starts to walk round a desk. It will create musical instruments from other lumps of play-doh and will pretend to play along with a song that will be playing through a laptop which is on a desk.

I got my idea from two sources. One of them was the Aardman Animations show Morph and the other was from youtube. It was a video of a guy that used post it notes for his stop motion animation project.

Frames per second 

 For my stop frame animation I am intending to use 10 frames per second because of the persistence of vision.  The more frames per second the smoother the stop motion will look. 

Limitations 

 One of the limitations I feel that I would be likely to come across would be the amount of time I have.  I would need a set amount of time to take all the pictures in time, I would need to make sure I do it in a lighting that wouldn't change, so the lighting in the footage would be constant.  I would also have to make sure I get all the filming done in one day.  I would also have to make sure that I get my filming done in a set time zone so the play-doh doesn't dry up and start falling apart when I try to move it.
