The Ultimate Lego Phone Mount Tutorial (for Lego stop motion)

Рет қаралды 15,614

Ай бұрын

In this video I talk about all the methods of holding my phone for stop motion animation that I have used, ending with a tutorial on how to build the perfect stop motion Lego phone mount of my own design.
5084 pictures taken at 24 FPS. Created on an iPhone 11 ProMax using Stop Motion Studio Pro. Edited video with Adobe premiere pro.
This is the first full video that I have ever animated at 24 FPS. I think it turned out great. While I was working on the shots for The Lego Movie Rebuilt, I was inspired by the style of the animation of the original Lego Movie. The characters had a lot more quick and dramatic movements then I remembered, with some of the characters being animated on 2s and sometimes even 3s or 4s. I wanted to emulate this style in my own stop motions. I am really happy with how it turns out.

2:38 Splatoon 3 lobby music

The real question is if he was showing us his camera mount, then what did he film with 🤨🤨

Probably a new camera mount

Actually, I just went back to the old phone mount for those shots 😅 it was very annoying!

Something special about even the technicality of holding the camera being done with LEGO. Just watched the laser effects tutorial the other day and happy to see a new one. Great vibes!

My phone mount had been the same for almost my whole stopmotion journey, besides my like first 3 animations which had a makeshift mount, my current mount has many issues at the moment though so seeing this reminded me to make a new one, so thanks and keep up the good work!

This is so genius! I use a large tri-pod and brick built stands for my animation. Tri-pod is good for large shoots, or bird eye shoots, but like you said you cant get food and precise angles. I am defiantly going to try and make my own design! Thanks!

I discovered your channel about 2 weeks ago and I love everything I've seen so far. In fact your videos have gotten me back into stop motion. And even though I don’t primarily use my phone for stop motion anymore this is still very useful to know. Great video!

@Loft_Studios Ай бұрын

I am hoping to start using an actual camera for Stop Motion as well. And I already have some ideas on how to make a freestanding table mount for my new camera!

@SuperBrickster42 Ай бұрын

@@Loft_Studios Awesome! An actual camera would be really cool. But what I use now is a Logitech webcam so I can get super close to the minifigures without zooming in and losing a lot of the image quality.

@mayoshixi Ай бұрын

Yeah sure man, your epic Bionicle mount is cool and all, but let's be real, you can't beat the sheer simplicity and power of the brickbuilt one! 🤫 Especially built out of Duplo bricks! :0

your phone mount looks great! I was using a normal phone stand for a long time but since I started to film various height of shots, I started to build a simple phone mount using few lego pieces for each shots

While I’m sure masking it would work, I have two flashlights that I always use anytime I need 2 light sources at once.

Though that mount is cool, I prefer a regular camera and tripod setup as I feel it is sturdier and has better image quality. By the way, how do you get the mini-figure's head to wobble?

@Loft_Studios Ай бұрын

I would also like to move to a real camera at some point. I sand down the knob that the head goes on, so the head turns easily, and as a result, it also has a little bit of wobble animation .

How do you stop the sets and mounts from sliding when animating

@Loft_Studios 6 күн бұрын

The fabric helps it not slide easily while helping it slide smoothly when intended. I use a Bluetooth keyboard to take pictures. That keeps me from bumping my camera. Sometimes I will use sticky tack to anchor the phone mount to the table for extra security.
