I kind of messed this sequence up a bit. As I mentioned earlier, I wanted the corpse to gradually decompose while the other character buzzed around the room at high speed to give the illusion of a time lapse. The problem was, because of the way the "corpse" had been made i knew i would only have one chance to film it as the process would destroy the original model. I'm not going to beat myself up about it too badly as this is my first proper go at stop motion, but I misjudged the amount of plasticine to scrape off the corpse between frames, resulting in her decomposing in the same amount of time as it took the other character to clean up the blood. As a result of this i ended the sequence in about half the amount of frames as i had intended and decided to just kind of ad-lib some expressions and gestures for the other model. To be fair, i do actually think this helped to make the transition to the next scene feel more natural, it just wasn't what i had intended.
I also gradually took leaves off the plant in the corner of the room to symbolise decay but it happens so fast that it is barely noticable.
The movement seemed too fast in this sequence so I time stretched it quite a bit.
