I created a short stop motion video (film) back in high school (1977) using a Super 8 camera and a shutter cable borrowed from my teacher. Though the video wasn't worthy of any reviews by others, I do have some additional shots of my grandparents that I wouldn't otherwise have had. Moreover, about 20 years ago I had the wherewithal to get the video copied from Super 8 film to DVD and then to HDD. Every so often, I play it and it takes me back to simpler times. Now that I'm approaching retirement and after seeing this video (some 46 years later), I will start creating stop-motion videos once again. Thanks, Steve!
This is the first time I have met a content creator who discusses it easily understood and reveals to the audience without the stingy knowledge that this channel has, you are amazing 🎉 🎉
Such an underrated channel. Steve is simply amazing. When you start to watch a video, you always finish the video. His ability to draw attention is just superb. Cheers mate.
I just started to learn about stop motion and watch this video after watching bunch of informative other videos. They were nice too but this video is mind blowing inspiring with all the camera angles and sound fx. You combined the stop motion tecnique together with all other film making knowledge and made a really nice content. I wanted to hit the like button several times. Thank you!
Excellent intro to stop motion using your phone. My 2 cents .. 1. You can make the final output even smoother using automated frame interpolation (I.e add 1 extra frame between 2 real frames) and run it at 24 Fps instead of 12 2. You can also keep the shutter open for longer and move the object when shutter is open to get motion blur (called “go motion”) but may have to use some smart “erase” tool (like on Google phones) to remove hand or stick you use to move the objects.
@@dman38 yes you can. The motion blur is captured on a single frame when the shutter is open and object is moved. I suggest you Google the term “go motion”.
👍🏻 My favorite sequence is the one where you let the smartphone "run away" from the toy car. When I was a boy, I did the animations with my Super 8 camera and the only option was with the manual shutter, frame by frame. A "dog work"! But it was great fun when the result was visible 5-10 days later when Kodak finally sent the developed film back. Thanks for the inspiring tutorial. I'll stay tuned ["rooaaarr!!" 😁].
What a fun and useful video. Great job! I'm retiring later this year after over 45 years in professional video production. When I retire, I plan to have Epidemic Sound for my personal video productions and I'm sure I'll try your technique for doing some kind of stop-motion. If I were not retiring, I'd get a model version of the van we use to transport all our video equipment. I'd paint it to match our real van, with our logo, phone number and all the graphics. Then, I'd animate the van indoors racing around our office and shooting out the door for the last shot, then match-cut a shot outside of our real van racing away down the street. That would be a fun social media post for us.
Fantastic guide! I think a small detail is to let people know to export each as a separate clip or provide a step in editing software to show how to slice it up.
This is great. The Panasonic AG1950 used to do this. It would record for a quarter of a second. Four of these would make one frame. I used to animate kids favorite toys for their birthday.
Thanks very much for sharing this. I used to do stop-motion with a VHS camera when I was in middle school and now, I've downloaded the recommended app and can't wait to get started again.
That was fun to watch. It reminds me of when I was teaching years ago and my class attempted stop motion animation with super 8 camera, real kids (from my class), chairs (they were the"car") and proceeded to do exactly what you were doing. However, with real film--can't make mistakes. It was fun and the kids learned a lot. Math was extremely important as the super 8 process was set at 15 fps. So the students had to calculate the number of separate shots to take and the distances to move to make it more realistic. Thanks for this--it brought back great memories.
That way to teach maths is wonderful, as kids they should learn to use maths like a tool for applying in their lives. It's not needed to learn a bunch of theories to enjoy and have fun.
Me to but none of us had cameras, nevermind smartphones, pencil and paper was our animation technique of choice with the help of tracing paper for that authentic 'onion peel' animation technique! 😊
An excellent piece of advice I found online for how to remotely control the shutter button is voice control feature. Turn voice control on and say 'turn volume up' every time you need to take a picture. Et voilà.
I love Digital! Had SLR for many years and always had to save to develop holiday or outing film. My longest stop motion took 5 days of an orchid bud opening into a bloom. Magnificent! I saw how clouds move, how storms form and a myriad of Nature's actions! And at little or no cost in filmstock!😂

I absolutely love this app, it was the best there is several years ago, glad to know it’s still good as I get back into filming. Thanks for the video, this is the process for sure!
tq mate for such an informative vid. I am sure gonna create some stop motion animation videos after my exams are done! I truly appretiate your editing and speaking efforts! keep it up!!
Thinking about doing a video on one of my products I came across your instruction video. Now, I first create a script and then start filming. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Fantastic job! What a great, fast and simple Stop Motion video! Well done explaining everything that's easy to follow and understand! . . . Keep up the wonderful work!
Fantastic stop motion video tutorial. Have been interested in this since I found out how cartoons worked as a kid. TY so much for this. I use Logic Pro X and that will pair nicely with these techniques. Thanks again.
That was pretty cool!! I tried doing some stop motion years ago making a cd start spinning slowly and increasing the speed over time. Takes a while and it can be very satisfying at the end. Haven't really played to much beyond that as I play instruments and that takes a lot of time as well.
absolutely love it. I grew up on stop motion animation and seeing this makes me smile. In my last short film I have some stop motion animation but used my Canon 5d mark 3 camera to take stills and then move them in timelapse on final cut pro x.
Brilliant! Steve always shows that you don’t need professional and expensive equipment to create cool footage. Just be a bit creative. Thanks mate. I start to believe in myself
Impressive "How-to" video with the step by step approach. Starting with a simple but boring video and then transforming it into that epic short masterpiece
I did something similar a year ago but I rushed everything. But I did everything on my phone. Completed in an hour. This is an amazing video, thanks for sharing. It will definitely help me fill the gaps next time.
Great video! Many phones allow voice control of shutter, and Bluetooth remotes are $5 if you don't have a smart watch. Going to try to get my kids interested in this, it's time consuming but super priceless art! ❤
I have taught stop-motion video at the high school level. I think this tutorial is excellent. One point I would make is that if you are using an iPhone, you can trigger the phone with your Apple watch. In my classes I use DSLRs simply because it is easier to lock them down.

WoW my kids learn alot from you Thank you for sharing this ideas and knowledge Godbless watching from Philippines
The final shots of the rollover are a satisfying end.
Except you could see the clay.
The front angle with the camera rolling back along with the car flipping is incredible. I never would’ve thought moving the camera was an option.
👍🏻 My favorite sequence is the one where you let the smartphone "run away" from the toy car.

I did the same back in High School (1977). Wasn't my best work, in fact it was terrible, but it's on film and I still have it - saved to my HDD.
Final sequence was unbeleivable. Such an innvoation for a small stop motion video !!! Mind blowing
Thank you so much 😀

Really well done.
