@ZilchZero I immensely respect the effort it takes for stop motion animation. They are truly a different breed, because of the months for videos to be made and years of work it takes to make full stop motion movies. The dedication it takes to make that is incredible, and because you can't waste that much time on the equivalent of the emoji movie, Everything stop motion is a work of art. From early special effects in King Kong, and Jason and the Arginauts, to Wallace and Gromit, to Paranorman, Coraline, I don't think there's a single bad stop motion movie

If you're here to ask why the floor couldn't just be metal: Animating small shifts in the feet would be difficult. You would drastically alter your puppet's pose when removing the foot and wouldn't be able to lift the foot slightly as you very often need. That issue is solved with...a second magnet. Or screws! Also, it would only work for flat sets. Have you ever tried warping metal? Not easy, nor cheap!

@nick6var 2 ай бұрын

The style of films like Monster House seems like stop-motion animation, despite the usage of motion capture of real actors on wire-frame sets. (Literally, they built props and set pieces out of wire so that there wouldn't be any interference with the motion tracking technology. With real props it helped the actors feel grounded in reality. Plus, that style avoided the 'uncanny valley' problem that makes The Polar Express look weird and dated.

@@Zephyer6581not that theres something wrong with it for video games or movies and stuff but animation as a medium is done at 24fps typically, and when an animation is interpolated up to 60fps for example, you lose a LOT of impact that the original animators spent so much time and effort getting exactly right at 24fps, only for the pace to be ruined because the AI doesnt know about the principles of animation or what exactly it is interpolating

@@Zephyer6581 sometimes, people use AI to force a 24 frame per second animation into a 60 frame per second animation. This usually makes the animation sloppy and gross as AI tends to do.

@haniedahoney 10 ай бұрын

That's why, you shouldn't underestimate the quality of stopmotion movies or animation; they're very time consuming and require precision to make the movements of every characters or objects look dynamic. This is indeed almost the same as CGI animations, but of course if it is done in the real world, wouldn't this be more tiring? Plus, you have to design (make) each character and the background from scratch, so that they looks very detailed and attractive, which requires more costs..

@aikordcz4424 10 ай бұрын

There is one other method that I tried once, but it only works with static scenes and its really tedious. First, take a picture without the puppets, then animate the puppets using the rods (like the VFX green ones). After you are done, use photoshop. The first picture with no characters as background layer, the picture with characters as top layer, than cut out any parts with rods from the top picture, the background layer will fill the gaps you've just made. Repeat for every frame :)

@AlexMint 10 ай бұрын

It's good to take multiple background pictures if using a rig, because even in an ideal scenario, lighting often changes throughout a scene. Fortunately if you're programming a camera rig, you can replicate its movement to have an editing pass.
