    Any stop motion or photography tips?

    in General AG Chat

    I‘ve recently been working on my doll stop motion and photography skills. I’ve been trying to figure out how to set up lighting for my photos, and how to think of more original ideas for stop motions. Does anyone have any advice?

    The site TVTropes is a good place to get idea's for stories. Try mixing up conman tropes for characters and plots.

    I don’t know much about photography, but if you film outdoors, Bokeh looks great without being distracting. And in Indoor photography, make sure you have enough light that’s natural looking. Also, taking you’re photo low to the ground, like have you’re camera touching the floor but angled up so you can see the doll’s face, looks amazing.

    Some of the best kinds of stories for AG stop motion, are slice of life, first love, and mystery (of who dune it kind)...

    Just remember the first rule of animation is"Keep it Simple."

    One more thought: frame rate for VT animation it's 24 frames a second, for movies it's 30 frames a second. from my animation tests, I've found 12 frames a second is the most natural looking movement for these dolls.

    For example if I want to make a 2 min stop motion. I will need to take 12 photo x 60 seconds x 2 = 1440 photos. This why the smother animations take a long time to make.

    one of the things that is best is when you have a light source coming from the bottom, and the oppisite side that you’re taking the shot near. The front of the photo is better to be shadowy,

    while the other parts have light. and remember, no matter what anyone says… DONT PUT THE LIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DOLL!!

    Anyways… yeah!

    Hope this helps
