Stop Motion Animation of Falling

For this animation, I wanted to create something that everyone could relate to and the familiar blare of an alarm clock is definitely something that everyone has gone through, probably every single morning. 

I cut out shapes to create a sleeping character, using simple shapes that I could manipulate easily without it getting too complex. I only really changed the face because I wanted to mainly focus on the character's change in emotion. After setting up the scene, all I had to do was let the rest of the scene happen.

I had shot reference of the alarm clock being dropped, in order to get the timing of it falling. After that, I felt it would be more comical to exaggerate the alarm clock's "liveliness" when blaring so I made it jump and shake in midair, as it would in a cartoon. This also gave a somewhat logical explanation as to how the clock would fall off its perch.
