Panic - Epilepsy

Do Not Watch Videos If Epileptic

This video would create panic if just one of the audience had photosensitive epilepsy, These videos were constructed with stopmotion animation, The Word "Epilepsy" was printed black on white and then again inverted, I then took photographs of the prints and put them into an image sequence using quicktime.

This video shows the word epilepsy flashing at 15 frames per second.


This video shows the word epilepsy flashing at 30 frames per second.

I would like to test the two animations on an epileptic person and see which effected them quicker, this is mainly out of morbid curiosity, but i also think documenting the experiment would help contextualise the animation under the title of panic.

Cannibal Subtitled Final

This is an example, specially made for my crit. It shows the final animation with a proposed script subtitled.

Panic - Story Boards

Initial Ideas

Epilepsy Storyboard

Instead of conveying the feeling of panic, this would create the feeling of panic if only one of the members of the audience had photosensitive epilepsy.

Apple Storyboard


Grape Storyboard


Tomato Storyboard


Pencil Storyboard


Fish Storyboard
In order to do this in stopmotion i would have to use a real fish with a mechanical wire structure inside to puppet the movement, another possibility is to use a live fish and film it flopping around on the surface, then export certain frames, to create a new jumpy sequence. This would ensure realistic movement but i feel it would be too cruel to do it to the fish.

Drowning Storyboard

This would be incredibly hard to capture in stopmotion, and in fact most of the impact would come from the sound of the production.

Jenga Storyboard


Banana Storyboard

I believe this to be the most effective idea, and also think its the funniest. I would try out the other ideas that fit with this sequence (namely the fruit sequences) but as it is a stop motion production they would take too long to produce so i plan on completing this one as best i can.
