Our last 4 weeks stitched together. Mainly timelapse of setting up each shot. Music: The Goblin Band - Glen Gray And The Casa Loma Orchestra. We shot using a Nikon D90 and Dragon Stop Motion software which I highly recommend. After Effects was used to sequence the images.

    What software are you using? I do a lot of video work, but very little (like zero) animation and I am interested in knowing a little bit more. Great work!
  • Sean Pecknold plus 3 years ago
    Thanks! I used Dragon stop motion software for the animation. Which I highly recommend to anyone, it is amazing. And then After Effects to sequence, Final Cut to edit... That's it. Oh and it was shot with a Nikon D90.

    so it is after effects that u use
  • Sean Pecknold plus 2 years ago
    Well, after effects was only used to stitch together the image sequences. All the animation was done in stop-motion on a tabletop. Thanks for checking it out!
