Stop Motion Tutorial: Build a Set! Part One

  • Interior stop motion set construction is covered in this tutorial as I build a miniature kitchen. The principles and techniques apply to just about any structural set need, as part one explores methods for planning a set, creating the structures, and painting. This is low-budget filmmaking with suggested alternatives for even smaller budgets. But we also look at creativity and style to make the best of whatever materials we have on hand.
    Please see my other tutorials on how to make a puppet, Lego animation, cut-outs, lip sync, facial animation, and other stop motion subjects: • Stop Motion Tutorials
    Just about everything I used to make the set featured in this video was purchased at Michael’s, an arts and craft store. Most of it can also be purchased on amazon. Some of the miniature props are doll toys available on eBay.

    Every stop motion show needs some sets like houses, shops, a city or town and many buildings.

    • @MichaelParks
      @MichaelParks  4 года назад +1

      I use pieces of masking tape that is painted the same color as the floor. After a while, it is necessary to fill in the wholes with patching material and repaint. It's a lot of work, I know, but it's how it's done at the studios I've worked at. Some use magnets, but I haven't tried that.

    • @MichaelParks
      @MichaelParks  2 года назад

      I suggest a plywood top of 1/2"-3/4" with a 2x4 frame and legs, with additional reinforcement on the legs to prevent every bit of wobbling. Size and shape has to do with space available, noting that you need space all around the table for lights, supports, and your own access to every part of the set.

    Have you ever attempted at using 3D printers for stop motion puppets and sets? or that would be too expensive and ineffective?

    • @MaximilianonMars
      @MaximilianonMars 4 года назад

      I'm working on that myself, using printers and 3D software to design parts. I bought assets that I liked from CGtraders to save time modelling and sculpting custom things.
      There is a bit of a learning curve for printing, but it's a lot of fun once you learn the basic rules.

    • @MichaelParks
      @MichaelParks  2 года назад +1

      Each wall is framed with 1"x2"s so they can be screwed down onto the floor of the set. They can also be screwed to each other, though I found duct tape would keep them secure as well. When I have just one wall, I still find that screwing it down works fine, but some additional support from L-brackets or a back support would be good, too.

    But wouldn't you have to hot glue the furniture parts? When I tried animating a few times they would constantly jiggle around, and if I do glue them firmly together, then I would have to find a way to take them off later without causing too much damage....

    • @MichaelParks
      @MichaelParks  4 года назад

      To glue plastic or wood furniture down, I put a small piece of tape on both the furniture and the floor or wall (both out of view of the camera) and put the glue on the tape. The glue holds the furniture in place while the tape protects the surfaces.
