    In this lesson, Animator & Visual Effects Artist, award-winning special visual effects cameraman, author, and all-around genius, Mark Sawicki, shows us how to use Stop Motion Pro software and a Terminator™ collectible figure to create a character performance using the #StopMotion animation technique.
    Using tools that are readily available to even the amateur filmmaker, Mark shows you how you can improve your character animation through rudimentary motion-capture & in-camera rear-projection compositing.
    COURSE HIGHLIGHTS:
    -- Overcoming limitations of an off-the-shelf collectible
    -- How to capture a live-action performance to guide animation
    -- How to set up the figure and camera for animation
    -- Rear-projection in-camera "compositing"
    Approximate Runtime is: 01:24:26

    @Raymond Doetjes
    I believe when they were trying to sell stop motion for the first Jurassic Park movie, they created a technique of vibrating the puppets in certain ways to give the illusion of motion blur. From what I remember of the behind-the-scenes videos, it worked quite well

  • @tigyi
    @tigyi 11 лет назад +1

    For me Today; I'd use a blue screen lit at a distance so the reflection wouldn't be much of a problem. Shoot it with Dragon frame, then chroma key the results. Lighting and reflections (due to the shiny surface) can be performed by using color cards or screens out of frame. Problem with that example method is: you cannot create motion blur on the puppet due to the combined image; the figure will be much sharper than the source, and there would be focus depth issues (depending on lens used).

  • @rdoetjes
    @rdoetjes 9 лет назад +5

    I always miss the motion blur in stop motion, that is something that need to be added to give it some realism in the motion.
    So simply having a 3D animated model with an environment map that is the live action footage gives proper reflections and you can add the motion blur on top of it with composting.
    Face it stop motion is dead. Live Puppeteering certainly not but stop motion naah. And rear projection certainly is still a viable tool to use.

  • @artboy123
    @artboy123 6 лет назад

    Well, yes and no. "Spill" from blue or green screen can be avoided by making sure the figure of the puppet is far enough away from the backing so as not to get contaminated with blue reflections, and careful lighting and "barn-dooring" of the key and fill lights on the foreground subject will also aid in non reflections. It ain't easy but it can be done. Also there was a tried and true method from the old days called "front-light back-light" to create an in-camera method of traveling matte but it only worked for animation and stop-motion. Still, the above is a VERY simplified version of what most animators did up until the '90's.

    • @247.mp4
      @247.mp4 9 лет назад +1

      Daniel Dimov the smoves the sceleton a bit, then he makes a photo of it. after the foto is taken, he moves the figure again (a litte) and takes a photo again. after that he combines every photo to get a video out of it. to get a smooth animation, you should have a standard (video standard) of 24fps (frames per second), which means you take 24 pictures for 1 sekond of video

    • @DanielDimov358
      @DanielDimov358 9 лет назад

      ***** Wow, that's gonna be very hard to do. And if you take more than 24 picture per second, let's say 30 pictures per second?

    • @247.mp4
      @247.mp4 9 лет назад

      Daniel Dimov same. Thats the meaning behind fps. Frames (pictures) per second.
      Video in 1080p30fps means it shoots 30 images à 1920x1080pixels per second

    • @247.mp4
      @247.mp4 9 лет назад

      Daniel Dimov if the framerate is higher the shot looks smoother. But the human eye can see around 25fps. Everything below 24fps will look like is stocking.
      Higher frame rates like 60fps, 120fps etc are only made for video to make slow motion..

    • @DanielDimov358

      There is plenty of successful CG out there. Of course, when it IS successful, you won't even know it's there. Thus, if all you see is CG that's noticeable (unrealistic) then you'll think there is no such thing as realistic CG.
