Slow-Motion with Stop-Motion; Motion Control Rigging and Setup Details

Making a 1000fps slow motion video with a regular mirrorless camera could sound impossible, but with a good understanding of the concept and using motion control magic you can create live-action-like slow motion videos in stop motion!
In this video, I'm explaining how the concept of slow motion translates in stop motion. Then I'm showing the process of building a precise rig to shoot a slow motion video of a dice falling down as it was shot on a 1000fps slow motion camera.
I'm also sharing the details of setting up the shoot in Dragonframe.
In this video I'm using the motion control kit that I've developed for table-top video and stop motion creators. The kit includes the Dragonframe Arc Motion interface and a unique motorized winder rig that you can use for different purposes. For more information about the rig please check out my previous videos on my RUclips channel or go to my website page at:

This is AMAZING!!!!! I can't wait to watch the second part with the dice hitting the surface and bouncing back. I would have never though of doing something like this with stop motion; this open a lot of possibilities for people like me who don't have the money for an expensive high speed camera. Thanks for sharing your process.

@@arcecreative thank you! I'm so glad you found this useful. There is definitely a lot to do using this technique. And sure! I'll plan to make the bouncing one soon.

Only for product shots, not sure how this prestine moves would be welcome style in production where genuine stop motion as we know is paramount. Might as well use AI sorry. Please do not automate the craft and charm of stop motion! Thank you

@@No_Plastic of course the polished examples might suit product videos more, but the base concept would add a lot to traditional stop motion while keeping the artistic style. Using motion control devices is the same as using After Effects and Photoshop in editing. It's the matter of how one would take advantage of it based on their story telling style. As I don't encourage technology fascination taking over the artistic view, at the same time I think using technology in the right way could help a lot.
