    Honestly my stopmotions are 15 FPS, it’s basically the minimum FPS that looks good enough to go viral so I can focus on other aspects of the video like humour and editing (also it’s half of 30 and 1/4 of 60, some actual common FPS)

      if you have an RTX card you can interpolate it from 15 to 30 fps or maybe even to 60 (not sure though).

  • @OmegaEnvych
    @OmegaEnvych 3 года назад +490

    I truly believe that limitations on frames per second can be not just practical limitation, but also artistic ones.
    In many great animated movies creators often limit amount of animation frames to fit specific artistic style and in "What that movie would look at 60FPS" animations look often just wrong. Keyframes are lost and as well lost some of animation strengths.

    • @Waterghosteus
      @Waterghosteus 2 года назад +31

      A great example of this is in Into The Spiderverse, where they took it one step further, and had Miles Morales' framerate be lower than the other heroes, to show his inexperience. And gradually brought his up to the rest of them as the movie progressed.

    • @watamatafoyu
      @watamatafoyu 3 месяца назад

      Exactly, being too high looks like CGI. It's like TVs that run at 60-240Hz and generate frames from a movie or show that's supposed to be broadcast at 24-30. It looks uncanny, unnatural, and in a different context than it's supposed to be in (and sometimes cartoonish). The low frame rate sort of makes the show its own world that isn't just a part of our ordinary reality like a QVC broadcast or a news broadcast or a soap opera or a making-of documentary. Stop-motion animation being below 30fps gives it its own uniqueness and surreality that doesn't look "wrong".

    • @crystalgryphon
      @crystalgryphon 2 года назад

      This might be an interesting fact if you’re not familiar with the animation process: the standard frame rate for animation is (technically) 24 FPS. Most movies, shows, etc are 24 FPS. BUT, they are animated on twos, meaning the animation is animated at 12 FPS then every frame is duplicated. This saves on time and expense, but also allows wiggle room to animate smoother movement on ones (one frame at a time) in certain circumstances, like fast moving objects. When an animator says they animated something at 24 FPS, nine times out of ten this is what they mean. “True” 24 FPS animated fully in ones like in this video is not standard because it’s prohibitively time consuming, expensive, and difficult, and it’s also not really necessary.

  • @Pooiloui

  • @bradonhoover3002
    @bradonhoover3002 3 года назад +9

    A good way to think about your framerate is with drawn animation techniques. This is basically a demonstration of animating on 2's and 3's, and discussions on that topic and it's effects address why interpolation doesn't work well, which is a question some people had, and go into detail about the effects each speed have

  • @kapitankapital6580
    @kapitankapital6580 3 года назад +20

    I think it's interesting how the different frame rates have different effects. The lower frame rates feel like "animation", while the higher makes it feel like a video game. Maybe it's just me, but I find it fascinating that something as simple as FPS can have such a noticeable difference in impact.

  • @BrixStarAnimations
    @BrixStarAnimations 3 года назад +262

    Wow, it’s interesting to see the difference between the FPS side by side! My recent brickfilms were shot at 15 FPS and I love it. I actually have a brickfilm I made at 12 FPS, but I now think it is too slow and when I watch it I always watch in double speed😅. However your 12 FPS clip inspired me to try again. And… I see the 8 FPS is kinda trendy now, maybe I will try it too.

    Awesome stuff! I think lower framerates are sometimes harder to work with because you can't just take a bunch of pictures and it'll look just decent, you've got to know the principals like the back of your hand and MAKE a lower fps look good. At the end of the day though, it's animation so it'll be hard either way. I just think it takes a great animator to make a lower fps look great and you've certainly proved that.

    Would have been interesting if you just did one video in 24fps, then did another using the same photos, but only using every second one to get 12fps, and then using every third to get 8 fps, so you could compare the different framerates with the same animation.

    I’m really glad that LEGO, of all things, has continued the tradition of stop motion animation. Stop motion can ironically look more believable than bad/decent CGI even at low frame rates. Probably something to do with suspension of disbelief: easier to believe something moves really choppy than one weird thing has slightly wrong colors. Perhaps the uncanny valley?
    Of course, stop motion is also oodles more expensive than CGI, so I get why it is unpopular among the mainstream. Then again, CGI films cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make

    Varying animation is also good to consider. Many shows that work on 24 fps go between ones, twos, and threes.

    i was gonna say, that 24 fps thing looked greenscreened, and yeah that makes sense it would be alot harder to do irl

    My first shot at stop motion was with the nintendo 3ds. I remember doing a 1 minute vid that was two Bionicle characters doing one of those classic “Western quick draw” took me forever to do. But man was I proud.

    This was sick, i understood the concept of 24 fps, 40 and 60 but I never thought that 15 let alone 8 fps was used for stop motion

    Lego Stop motion videos have been around on RUclips for as long as I can remember, I always loved watching them when I was a lot younger. I even tried to do them myself, but I was like 8 and inexperienced, and we also didn't have the resources in my house to be able to do it
