I created a leaf drop using a leaf from my garden. After I shot reference, I planned out the arcs and spacings on a large piece of acetate with a dry erase marker. I used the acetate drawings to help me position the leaf properly for each shot. The stage is made out of large sheets of colored paper flat on the ground. I taped a camera facing down to the side of a table in order to hold it steady. I used Adobe Flash to time out the images and export them as a video.
