    Great stuff dude! Real accessible. That's something I struggle with when explaining animation, I take so much stuff for granted that I forget to explain a lot of it.

    Honestly huge respect to your first animation that you showed. The fact you actually had motion, not to mention with multiple characters, from your first animation is amazing.

    Thank you so much for making this video. I’m a huge fan of stop motion, and have been since I first saw a replay of The 7th Voyage of Sinbad in the theater ages ago as a kid. The thing that always keeps me from attempting to make my own is struggling with a terrible degree of perfectionism. But after watching this video, I am beginning to understand that it’s ok to start simple and to have imperfect expectations.

    For my first attempt on an animation, it wasn't that bad, I struggled to keep the camera still because a few times when I tap the picture button, it moved a little bit so it's not perfect but I think I can fix that. So I will try it again and try to fix the camera movements. But thanks for helping me get started, that's really helpful.

    What is a good sturdy animation desk that you would recommend?

    • @AntBandit
      @AntBandit  Рік тому +1

      The one I use is actually an industrial packing table made by Uline. It's extremely heavy, has metal shelves and costs around $350. I splurged to get a nice table for animation, but you can definitely use any sturdy table/desk. You can even wedge some weights or sandbags against table legs to make sure tables won't move or slide. I have seen some animators use strong tape to fasten table legs to floors as well.
      Professional animation tables are usually built from wood and have cross beams underneath to keep it from wobbling.

    Great tutorial
    What equipment is good for holding an object in the air?

    • @AntBandit
      @AntBandit  Рік тому +1

      The cheapest way would be to use LEGO pieces, you can build a support using bricks or bars and then sticky tack whatever you want on the end. I have even used poseable Bionicle pieces to hold things.
      If you're ok with spending money I'd recommend looking for "Helping Hands" tools, or even pro stop motion rigs like the ones made by Kinetic Armatures. These do get very expensive though as they are usually custom made in small orders

    If you wanted to save time photographing the model waving and it's not doing anything else, you could copy and reverse order the previous shots from the last one (did this in college when the studio was time limited for my personal use and I only had two weeks to put together a 2 minute piece.)

    4:55 - in regards to making sure your phone doesn’t move while snapping photos … if you have an OTG cable… or one of those lightning to usb adapters for your iPhone… you can connect a usb keyboard to it, and control the shutter button that way. I’ve used that before in the past, and it helps me keep the camera still because every time I tap the screen to hit the shutter button, it moves slightly. Also, Stop Motion Studio has the very useful feature called Onion Skin, which helps seeing the past photo so you know how far to move each time.
