Stop Motion | STEP1 Film-maker Lesson

The basics, and a little extra for getting started with Stop Motion.
A NOTE FOR ANY SCHOOLS SHOWING THIS IN CLASS/USING THIS VIDEO FOR HOMEWORK:
I am so incredibly honored that I even get to write a paragraph like this; never in my life would I imagine this little lesson video I did in my bedroom, with a few yards of black felt hanging over my closet doors, might eventually grow into something animation classes would use worldwide. While some have politely asked, I will state here that you all have my full permission to do so.
This is not a requirement, and obviously the safety and privacy of the students comes first, but if any animations are made following this end up online, I would absolutely love to see them. Either comment what I should search to find it (youtube comments don't like urls) or send it to my email listed in my about section.
Thank you again for helping me create a stop-motion channel, a thing I wanted since I was 13 and playing with my Lego's and a webcam, and for helping me share it with others.

I have a question is animation the same as stop motion like can I make a flipaclip animation would it be the same as stop motion ?

@StopEverything 2 жыл бұрын

That's a very good question! The answer though might be a little complicated as I don't think there's any sort of "industry standard" for what stop motion is. Some may argue that flipaclip wouldn't be considered stopmotion as it's all digital, but many consider a normal flipbook (done on something physical like a stack of post it notes or the corner of a textbook) as a real stopmotion. The idea I guess being that SM shouldn't be digital? There's a whole argument to be made for both sides of this question and I don't think there really is an answer sadly. I will personally say that in my belief, flipaclip should be considered a kind of SM. I don't see why not. There's enough digital overlap into this style of animation now, the only real difference between flipaclip and a stack of post-it notes is the convenience. Just for fun, I'm gonna argue it. I really liked your question, haha, don't mind me. Saying that anything digital shouldn't be considered SM is a bit brass, considering how much modern animators rely on it. From the programs used to take each photo, to the image manipulation to remove unwanted rigs and elements of puppets (like in Coraline, the puppets all had a seam across the face where the mouth would be changed, which was digitally removed later) and even to the puppet creation themselves. Many SM movies now use 3D printed faces and heads that they replace on the set, which means every scene has been animated fully in 3D first in typical modeling software, and then is 3D printed and added to the puppets. Show's such as South Park started as SM, but are now made digitally to have the same look while saving production time. In the past these all would have just been done differently, such as clay heads would be made by hand instead of on computers, painted backgrounds instead of greenscreens, South Park still uses a similar workflow but is now expedited by the use of computers. Before I had a good camera, I made what I considered SM's on my computer, taking screenshots of my desktop or using microsoft powerpoint; it had the same workflow, just digitally instead of physically. Even now I often blend the two. Any lip-syncing I've done has been added in post production because I wanted to make sure it was timed correctly and perfectly visible to the camera. In conclusion, to rule out modern technology from the standard of "Stop Motion Animation" is simply to remove one of the many tools in the toolbox that makes up the art form. This has been my TED talk.

+Ngân Trần Bửu hey! I wanted to do all stop motion, but since I was on a budget I had to do them digitally. When I animated everything, I had the heads flipped around so that the face was solid yellow. Then using a combination of Adobe flash and after effects, I drew the faces myself and composited them in.
