    WOW! Too Cool for School :]
    how did u manage to work around the rotation side of the stop-motion?
  • Kirsten Lepore 3 years ago
    Thanks!
    I built a "rig" of sorts that spins on a turntable/lazy susan i bought from home depot! This was my first test of it!
  • eladbari 3 years ago
    sweet :] but how did u knew how much u should turn it every frame? it should be quite accurate for a "smooth move" :P
  • Kirsten Lepore 3 years ago
    I marked all the measurements, so the movements stayed consistent. I put some detail shots of the rig (so you can get a better idea) to the right in the photos section.
  • eladbari 3 years ago
    haha..Awesome Stuff! :]
    last thing im interested about [since i dont get to speak with "stop-motioners" every day :] is about tracking your shots. is there any kind of preview available for u, of the shots u made so far, while youre in the middle of the animation? seems so tough to memorize what u did at the last few frames, and all...u know what i mean :]
  • Kirsten Lepore 3 years ago
    That's why I use frame-grabbing software -- the camera is hooked up to the computers, and then you use the software to control the camera and the images go right into the program as opposed to the camera's memory card. Then, then program allows you to see and scroll through all the frames you just shot, making it a much smoother process.
  • eladbari 3 years ago
    ohh..yeah! i think ive heard of this Real 'Hot' software for it...that alot of Mac users..erm..use :]
    if im not mistaken, u could actually view your last frame with 50% transparency, while you mess around with your next frame in the meantime :] now, Thats hot! :] but, still..it takes a good animator to depict in his[\her :] head how everything needs to be set up, so all the frames will blend well together in post :] ...that is the real magic, and i dont know if u could use "gadgets" or other tools to help u achieve this. its pure talent, i guess :]

    The sound design is just as good as the claymation. Which is very, very good.

    BTW, do you call it claymation, or something else? Stop-motion perhaps?
  • Kirsten Lepore 3 years ago
    Thanks!! This one's all clay, so I'd consider it claymation...but it's also stop-motion :)
  •  
  • Phil Arsenault plus 3 years ago
    reeeeaaally love the soundscape!
  • Kirsten Lepore 3 years ago

  • Adamtastic 2 years ago
    This is so much fun! I love the colors and the vignetting. The animation is so fluid and it feels really complete. I can't wait to see it applied to the front of your future work. Greatness!

  • lina + ole 2 years ago
    this is amazing
    i adore your last clay animations!

    i'm more into drawn animation but am trying stop-motion stuff too. though, my attempts are still rather raw.

    what about the software you use? there're a lot in internet for downloading but it's hard to choose. the one i used was iStopMotion for Mac but it didn't fully answer my requests. i would be happy if you share your experiance which one you like. thanks!
  • Kirsten Lepore 2 years ago
    Thanks so much!
    I've used istopmotion before and it has its benefits. Although for this animation I used dragon stop motion. I'd check it out -- it supports many more camera types than istopmotion.
