My favorite type of video to make is Stop Motion Animation! Students in the Intro to TV Production classes at Fitzgerald will experience this project during their second semester, as it is very detailed and requires careful attention and planning. I love watching videos on YouTube and other sites to get ideas before I begin a project. I found a few good ones to inspire you and help you get ideas.
Remember some of the basic tips:
1. Keep a steady camera, not moving the position or changing the lighting between shots.
2. Shoot with a goal of 3-4 fps, so that means lots of pictures or lots of shots!
3. Stop motion improves with voice over, set, lighting, music, etc.
This video's really cool. Nice incorporation of clay...
This one's pretty short and "sweet"...
Although this next demo has no sound, it explains the process of stop motion animation in pretty simple terms...
This is one of my favorites, these guys put themselves into the stop motion...
Regardless of what you choose to do, your stop motion will turn out great! I'd love to hear comments about your ideas, or links to your favorite stop motion videos. Remember, Lego's make a great material to use as well! Good luck!
