Stop Frame Workshop

The format for producing a stop frame animation:
  • Concept development, research.
  • Pre production (dope sheet), storyboards, screen testing.
  • Production
  • Past production, audio, editing.
  • Final Cut, preparation for intended viewing format.
24 frames per second - to show a film without knowing it is made of stills.
16 fps is the minimum.
1min film = 1440 images

Sop frame can be done in many ways, using photographs, drawing, figures etc...

Overcranking- slow motion
Undercranking - faster motion

By measuring time and space, a smooth film can be produced.

Lighting is very important, one light should be above the object and another can be used to focus on the object.

Consider the way the camera moves when making a stop frame, do i need a device to hold the camera in place, or are the objects moving instead?

SPACE + TIME = RELATIONSHIP

Stop Frame task, to take a paragraph from a novel of my choice and create a stop frame, thinking about the motion of the camera, the set and the sequence.
