The first thing I did for this project was to create a chart based on the (Distance in inches) = (Number of Frames)^2 * (1/3 inch) formula for 24fps video. Once I had the frame to distance mapped out I rigged measuring tape to a pole next to my scene. I skewered my apple and placed a piece of tape on the skewer to help with alignment. After taking all of my shots at the varying distances I imported everything into GIMP and took myself out of the images. leaving just the background and the apple. I used SAM Animation to compile the images into the video clip. Just to double check i loaded the video into tracker to make sure my y axis was a parabolic arc.
