Did anybody here order a Stickybones armature from the Indiegogo campaign? I'm super excited for it.

If you don't know what it is, it's a plastic armature with a specially engineered joint systems to get both super dynamic poses and to hold them. It was designed for animators and artists to use for stop motion or as a drawing reference. It's even got magnetic feet which is pretty nice.

>>5882516

its a bit..somehow errie is it really all stop motion animation? it just looks too fluid and almost like it is cgi.

>>5882624
plamoo is known to be very fluid.
also traditional, aka no shitty computer effects or green screen.

>>5882626
what is his secret? is there a incredible amount of frames in his animations?

>>5882633
Very high frame rate + just knowing how to pose his figures well and natural.

All takes a lot of practice. You can do it, Anon.

>>5882638
He must know quite alot about anatomy because I have never ever seen animation as smooth as his and I really do have a passion for stop motion animation so I like to watch any I pass.
I have done just 3 animations of my own each progressively better than but I need something better than a camera and one of those things to hold the figure well for better posing.
Where do people go for their sound effects? I've got hundreds of my own ripped from a few games and a few stock sound effects and some from monster movies but where does everyone get those anime sound effects from?

>>5882646
>anatomy
I don't think you know what that means. Gestures, probably.
>but I need something better than a camera
T-they all use cameras, though.

Try searching for Gundam stock sfx, search in Japanese if you have to. That has quite a few mechanical sounds effect, swooshes, beeps, etc.
I used to have a folder of them years ago, can't remember where I got it/don't have them anymore.

>>5882646
better than a web cam I meant not camera. I've been stocking up on figure props too and I've been thinking of ideas for animations ALOT! its something that excites me alot. My mother watched one of my animations one day and she said why do they always fight? which got me thinking of other ideas.

>>5882651
what software do people use? I used windows movie maker and it seemed pretty glitchy like sometimes it would crash and sounds wouldn't sync.

>>5882660
Dragonframe is used by the big name guys like Laika, though funnily enough it's also kinda glitchy. In different ways of course.

It's all about reference and patience anon. I also recommend checking out the animators survival kit.

I was tempted to turn this into a feature length video but I got really lazy. Maybe I'll pursue it during my vacation next week.

>>5882667
>animators survival kit
interesting I just might do that, I find that animating the feet is the hardest especially for walking and running its no wonder I see alot of stop motion animators using tricks to avoid doing it !
is that gif your creation? thats quite incredible. Do you just use the figma stands to hold poses? I've been talking to alot of youtube stop motion animators and they tell me they use these things called rigs which look like some kind of DIY construct.

I want to buy a camera instead of relying on my blury webcam, can anyone recommend one for stop motion animation?

Seriously though stop motion animation excites me more than any other animation and I like how although it is ALOT of work almost anyone can try it.

>>5882674
Get an older but good pre-owned camera. Electronics go down in costs a lot. I don't recommend getting a heavy DSLR unless you don't mind having a lot of space devoted for your workstation.
Either use the self-timer, or get a remote for it. You want to avoid camera shakes from pressing the button.

Invest in a tripod.

>>5882678
I have no idea where to start on this...the technical giberish given for the cameras stats means nothing to me and I have no idea what a good price is for a pretty good quality camera. What camera did you use for your gif?

>>5882710
I'm not that Anon.

Just search for "good cameras 2010" or some shit, get one that used to be $400-600 or something and has great reviews, pre-owned.

Then learn how to take photos properly.

>>5882717

>>5882721
Seems fine.

if /p/ has a questions thread, ask them what they'd recommend. I assume you don't know jack shit about photography since you don't know what the technical specs mean, so ask for older models that are newbie friendly.

>>5882740
I did actually ask those guys a while back and they recommended this camera to me.

>>5882763
Alright, then go for that one. I don't get why you're asking here when you've already got a recommendation from people who are more knowledgeable.

>>5882766
because you guys are out in the field so to speak! you guys have actually used your camera for stop motion animation so I trust your words more. Anyway thank you for all the advise I've made a note of it all.

>>5882790
You overestimate how much your camera matters when it comes to stop motion.

As long as you can take good photos with it, that's good enough.

Looks like a neat tool but I'm not sure it's $90 neat. These days people just use 3D posing tools which can be had for free, albeit with a bigger learning curve since nothing will be as intuitive as having a figure. But it also has the benefit of allowing you to stage entire scenes quickly using primitive geometry that you might not have on hand with a real figure. And you'll need to be already well versed in anatomy, because I'm pretty sure that ab articulation isn't going to you the correct form when it scrunches up

Still, it's really cool and the magnetic feet and palms are great ideas.

Well any artist worth their weight will already be aware of that. This is just like all of those other drawing mannequins, it's just there to give you a rough idea of proportions and gestures for sketching ideas when you can't have a model.

It's obviously built mainly for letting the average animator do some stop-motion without machining their own or paying thousands for a decent armature. I got in on it early when it was $75 and that was before a lot of the stretch goals were unlocked like the magnets. That's not much compared to what I've paid for revoltechs and other imported figures with a good amount of articulation engineering. So to me it's a fair price for what it is.

How do I do mouth flaps without using special effects fuckery?

>>5884050
What's your usual camera set up? A DSLR?

>>5882469
Noice

>>5882678
This is good advice, not just for stop motion but getting cameras in general. You can get a decent/good camera that's 3 years old for about the same price as a new yet really shitty mid-range point and shoot.

>>5882469
What's a good stopmotion program? I mean... do we even need programs? How do programs help, aside from the obvious stringing your pictures together?

>>5884184
A good Stop Motion software helps a ton but it's not necessary by any means. I topped at 20fps without one but since I've been using DragonFrame I'm able to work at 24fps.

The biggest help it provides is a direct feedback on your work, you can play your sequence at any moment, delete or duplicate any frames you want. The other big plus is the Onion Skin feature, it overlays the last frame you took (or more than the last frame it's up to you) on the live feed. It's tremendously easier to make a stop motion with a program like Dragonframe.

tl;dr it's a big big help but it's far from impossible without it.

If you have a webcam or any camera that can be converted into a webcam by simply connect it with a USB cable to your PC
>AnimatorDV Simple+

If you've got 200 bucks (or the means to illegaly download it) and a compatible camera (the list of compatible cameras are on their website)
>Dragonframe

There's more than these two but one's free and the other one is used by Laika.

I'm thinking of writing a document that clarifies that and other things if these Stop Motion generals stick around.

>>5884179
I use a Canon 650D, entry level DSLR with the kit lens (and I also own a vintage Helios 50mm) hooked up to my PC through Dragonframe.

>>5884199

I want to start doing stop motion, so that my figures are actually doing something instead of just standing there on my desk. Would a phone camera suffice as far as photos go, as a beginner? I do plan on getting a better camera by the end of the year. Also, what programs do you guys use?

>>5885189
yes.

That's almost a shame, like they have their priorities screwed up or something. This kind of range of motion and the simulation of muscle tension in a figure should be what all toy companies strive for. These guys could step into the industry and really further the evolution of action figures.

>>5885695
That range of motion is because it's a stick figure with almost nothing in the way. You could get the same thing with wire armature and some clay, a lot of artists do

>>5885727

>it's a plastic armature with a specially engineered joint systems to get both super dynamic poses and to hold them

If you read that carefully, you might understand that its not as much about range of motion as it is about tension. A lot of action figures have good range of motion, but can't hold a pose for shit because there's nothing built into them to sustain that posing against their own weight, a breeze, etc.

Compare this thing to those figma archetypes and tell me which is a better ideal for action figures. There's nothing in the way with those, either.

>>5885825
If you want stuff that holds poses just get revoltech. You're not going to get better than POM on POM for joints.

And figma archetype has a human sculpt with few gaps

Well, not really shit but they're not really helpful with you want to make some subtle movements because of the space between the CLICK!.

I'm in love with this thread. Please senpais, start this as a general with guides on how to get into this hobby

Never forget to control your lighting. Use soft light and plenty of it with good spacing. You need 100% control, so unless you can control the sun, try to avoid using sunlight to light your subjects.

If you are looking to try your hand at stopmotion, make sure your camera has manually adjustable focus. Do not use auto focus or fixed focus. Make sure the cameras automatic lighting features like white balance can be turned off as well.

If you are using a green/blue screen, make sure the subjects are sufficiently far away from the screen to avoid casting harsh, sharp shadows on it.

>>5887870
I'm actually in the process of setting up a full guide right now with editing privileges. Ill have it open in an hour or so. It wont be near finished but it's a team effort.

Guide is meant to cover-

Animation Theory

Shooting with a mobile device

Shooting with a Digital Camera or DSLR

Editing Software Guides.


I'm willing to do an iPhone section and a adobe Photoshop section possibly today since I got 2 hours of waiting in line at a convention and I can type most on my phone. I can also do most of the theory section this weekend when I'm sober. Is there any other topics? I was thinking a recommended tools, toys, camera's section but I feel most of that is subjective.

>>5887880
You can also have shoot with a webcam or 3DS that could be interesting to cover briefly at least. I don't know much about the 3DS other than there's a stop motion app made for it, though.

The other topics are subjective they can help the people that are really lost, give them a starting point, I don't feel like it's that bad of an idea.

I can also talk about After Effects, Nuke, Premiere and DaVinci Resolve.

>>5887890
Cool added to the subcategory list.

Do you or anyone else know of a good onionskinning program (preferably free) that works with Macs and Nikon DSLR?

>>5887913
Check if your Nikon is compatible with Dragonframe
http://www.dragonframe.com/camera.php

If your Nikon isn't on the list, it's either two new or there's no tether option on your camera. If it's the later you're fucked (unless someone knows another way).

http://www.stopmotionanimation.com/page/resources

Check out their programs, the free ones usually only works with webcams but I might be wrong !

So, what does your earliest work look like? These are amazing, but surely you weren't such a great animator out of the gate, post your first and then your latest animation!

Look, there's a difference between criticism and just shitting on something, you got the reply that your shitbox attitude deserved, now you're getting all butthurt because you got called out on it.

Dang, today I was thinking just this
"I wonder if /toy/'s ever had a stop-motion thread"

Seeing all this OC makes me wanna get back to it

>>5895680
it bothers me she isn't actually going anywhere..

>>5895680
Looks very good for a basic walk cycle.

>>5895158
You don't need to be a dick about it. At least tell the guy why you find it to be awful.

>>5895680
That's pretty great anon ! Reminds me of the beegees Darpa Robot

>>5895680
You should, that's some solid stop motion

>>5895680
post moar anon

>>5895647
Why would I be butthurt? I'm not the one that got "called out". I just get sick of faggots like you using that old schtick because you can't take criticism.

>>5897089
That's right, backpedal as hard as you can, looks like you're the one who can't take criticism.

Lose the attitude, maybe someone will take you seriously then.

>>5882516
Wow

>>5885892
did you do clean plate shots? like take one frame with the support stand then move it out of frame to get the background?

You inspired me to start building gunpla in 2010

>>5885963
what kind of wire is that? with clay stuff its easy to just plug wire in but support stands work better with toys like that because they might not have ports to plug in and you can hide them better

>>5898726
That's exactly how I did it, Dragonframe has a feature where you can take "Test" shots, they're kept in high res in a different folder.

That feature plus the Onion skin feature made it possible to take a picture, move everything out of frame but the background, take a "test" picture, move everything back in place, repeat the process. That way I can easily create clean plates of a shot where the camera moves around.

>You inspired me to start building gunpla in 2010

Thanks man, hope you got better at it than I am !

>>5898737
Sweet I have dragonframe and played around a bit with the onionskinning it just seemed like it would be difficult to get the supports back into position exactly but I guess that's the best way.
what other kind of support stands do you use? Just the stage act type? Some kits don't have a plug in the rear, have you ever had to use the clamp attatchment to hold the model at the waist and then remove that part of the rig? it seems like it would be more problematic

Lol I was okay, I had a pretty popular youtube a few years ago but it got shut down due to copyright. Now I'm getting back into both hobbies. If these threads are still going in a couple of months I'll post some of my shit

I sometimes use the clamp but they're not very strong and don't hold very well, I often ends up using at least two support with clamps to hold a figure. It usually creates more work in post production to clean them out aswell.

I also use pic related sometimes, closest thing to a real stop motion rig. The only downside being the clamp's teeth are not kind on plastic

>>5898710
That's retarded. It's just a static image with some film filters. Why not actually put some stop motion in it?

>>5898840
Quickly made that yesterday as a test, I'll try to make some with animation when I've got more time

Anyone has way too much time on his hands and can take a look at the guide ? English is not my first language so there might be quite a lot of mistakes

>>5882323
Shit dude that is fucking awsome

>>5899232
Guides looking great guys. I see a lot of purple. I'll try to go through it on my break tomorrow as well as finishing up the iPhone portion. Whoever is writing the camera stuff though seriously keep it up.

>>5882352
how is this guy making those anime style effects? Particles? or is he hand animating them?

>>5899766
I think he uses some of these :
https://videohive.net/item/2d-cartoon-fx-4/10093762

He might be drawing some aswell, he can draw very well

>>5899750
Yeah sorry about the purple, I'm not a native english speaker, I don't want to leave that much text riddled with mistakes

>>5899810
those are awesome! thanks for awareing me of it

Bumping this thread

>>5900652
Fuck these are hilarious and the animation is smooth as fuck. Curious how he is getting it so smooth.

>>5904303
Might just be a lot of small movements and frames

So happy to see a stop motion thread here. This is the kind of stuff that pushed me both into photography and into collecting more articulated figures.

>>5895704
Just pretend the claw is holding her back.

So since we're here. .. anyone know where one could get dragon frame or one of the others without paying what I paid for my camera? (For hobby use only)

>>5904346
This guy is the greatest, I feel like I could never have movement that smooth out of these figures

>>5904536
Now get into Stop Motion faggot !

I started adding some pics and gifs to the guide to make my explanations easier to understand. I'll try to add more as soon as possible.

>>5884029
How do you do the camera movements? Some kind of setup with wheels or rails under the camera? Can you take a pic of your setup?

Do you think imitating the sprites from 2D fighting games is a good idea?

Dirty cheap setup, a friend of mine made this with shit he had in his garage.

In some of these shots, I just had the camera on the ground as I was moving it around frame by frame.

I know Patrick Boivin has used train tracks aswell.

>>5907321
It sounds like a grear idea actually

>>5907644
*Great

>>5907321
Yes. Probably would be the easiest way to learn the basics of stop motion since you have a set of poses you can follow and turn into a nice animation. Then you can branch out into your own animations.

>>5906173
Just made a quick test animation last night. I'd post it, but it's an mp4 right now. I'll make a gif version this evening.

>>5901607
So neat and smooth.
I think I love you anon

Ah, Katsuhono. I've admired your work from afar and I too lurk here often. I shall contribute as well. Not my most amazing work
I also have something to upload in the works to upload sometime soon, though I have faded from YouTube.

>>5908479
Damn Anon, that's pretty great, great loop too. What's your youtube channel ?

>>5908479
your effects are on point. Is that particular?

>>5908427
This is fucking beautiful man. One of these day's Ill finish the Celery Man remake I've been planning for years.

>>5908535
PilotTails. prepare yourself
>>5908537
it's a combo of After Effects to shape premade effects, some masking and the hole in the box was physically made

I'm not letting this thread die !

>>5914027
Let it lol but if your gonna keep posting OC I wont object. I want to remake it so I can start it with an objective to push participation.

>>5914039
Well. Then I'll let it go away while still working on the guide then. Cheers mate

>>5883892
This is great, love the little shuffle in the feet. Also a really neat lego robut.

>>5883895
It seems to disconnect from the camera quite often

All I currently have is an iPad. And iMovie. And Imotion. Already did the shooting and everything but how can I work in mouth flaps using the iPad? Like so the characthers talk. Any suggestions?

>>5917502
gonna need shoop man

If anyone wants an actor or something for their stop motion stuff, I'm open.

Especially for Batman, but I can do a lot of other voices.

Do you have a snap or kik or email or something? Do you charge senpai?

>>5919283
Don't charge a dime.

>>5919100
I like it. Got any other voice demos?

>>5917502
Hey man you willing to do a blurb on iMotion in the guide? Would love some quick rundowns/feature lists/reviews for apps. That goes for you Android folks as well.

>>5919100
that's a pretty cool voice anon, I always wanted to add some dialog to my stop motion. Can I hold on to your email address ? How Versatile are you ?

>>5917502
If you're on your iPad and don't have access to a computer maybe you could check out Photoshop-like app on the app store (is Photoshop available on iPad ?).

>>5917056
How old is your camera and your USB cable ?

I find that my camera tends to disconnect a bit more nowadays that it use to at the beginning. I've since changed my USB Cable and I have far less disconnection issues.

>>5919446
Not on tis current computer... I'll make some for you

>>5919998
I can do pretty deep vocies well, but I can sound young too, like, I dunno, highschool age? I'm working on something for several lego people where I'm doing Batman and Iron Man.
My email is [email protected].

I don't charge anything.

>>5920034
Awesome, I might get in touch with you in a few months if you're still doing that kind of gig.
