    Another trick we used to use was a sheet of glass or acrylic. You can stick stuff onto it without the black stick, but take care, as the tacky putty marks must be cleaned off each frame. The result is like no other though.

    Cant believe its been about 1 year since I first watched your videos. I am making a Stopmotion video right now but I also kind of avoided throwing something because I dont have the fancy technology to make something look like its flying. Now I can just get sticky tack and use that for my videos THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH

  • @johnnations5932
    @johnnations5932 4 роки тому +5

    VERY good video sir. By the way, you can do this easier with that great set you built: tip it onto its back and shoot down from above (the back wall being the bottom of the set) so that your stick with the thrown object can stand straight up vertically. That will let gravity work for you, and you might be able to light from above to eliminate that stick shadow:)

    • @Brickology
      @Brickology  4 роки тому +1

      Yes! That's a great technique as well! I don't have a tripod that can do that shot, though. What tripod are you using? I could use an upgrade!
