Stop Motion Animation of Falling

This was a difficult assignment for me, because I just updated my phone's iOS, but the iOS is completely broken and causes my phone to stutter and over heat. In addition, I've never attempted stop motion before, and have no tripod for my phone. THAT SAID, I did try my best, and reshot the scene multiple times. I've wanted to try mixing stop motion with 2d animation for a while. I wanted the fall to come from off screen, so the speed of the fall had to be fast from the start, as though he had been sent flying a bit ago. I roughly drew out the animation traditionally, planning the arcs, spacing and timing, and then attempted to transfer that to the stop motion. I wanted the bottle cap to feel like it hits him and have him react. I used a spiderman figure and a bottle cap. I am confident my next attempt at stop-motion will be more successful.
