Apply these techniques and your animated films will be better, get more likes, and amaze your audience. A lot of stop motion films suffer from flicker issues. If you're experiencing this, check two things:. Is the camera auto-exposure turned on?
This is the number-one flicker culprit. Auto-exposure automatically brightens the camera image if the environment becomes dark, which is every time your hand moves in front of the camera.
When the camera tries to compensate by making the image brighter, you see flicker in the frames when they're played back. Turning the auto exposure off fixes this problem.
Are there lights behind you? Sometimes your shadow -- which can be almost invisible in a bright room -- becomes very visible when you're taking many pictures of it, and playing the pictures back at 15 FPS. Make sure the only lights in the room are the lights shining directly on the set. When you're animating a film with toy characters, like LEGO minifigs, you want the camera to be as still as possible, or move gracefully, like a camera does in a feature film.
What NEVER looks good, is a camera image that's constantly wobbling off-kilter, as the animator bumps it with their sleeve. One of the more useful and versatile forms of stop motion you might use in your own marketing videos is to create a stop motion animation of your product. This stop motion video could show your product in use like a product video , coming out of the box in an unboxing style video , or dancing around a colorful backdrop to promote a sale or new variation as part of a social promo video.
Here are a few examples incorporating all of those tactics, along with a few more different types of stop motion videos out there.
Plus, we borrowed from the unboxing video format to show Pimm pop out of the box. Light and easy to watch, viewers would be hard-pressed to skip something so simple yet instantly captivating, making this an effective tool for engaging with social followers to remind them about any promotional sales or upcoming product launches and attracting first time viewers with a little advertising budget to boost a cute post.
Here is a bit more of an involved-stop motion production, using real people as the subjects this time:. So how do they get the characters to seem like they are falling or flying?
This is a clever stop motion technique with a more home-grown feel to it. Because it uses a simple production design involving construction paper cut-outs of houses and trees and clouds made out of cotton balls, it gives the whole commercial a thrifty, creative, almost child-like feel.
If that style of video works for your brand, this could be a good type of stop motion video to recreate, though it does take time to create and move the backdrops around your actors to simulate moving through space, so be prepared for it to take some time. Then, as he places his newly printed paper on the wall, a whole world of stop motion paper begins to unfold around him, completely transforming the office set until the whole back wall becomes a new office with a stop motion elevator that travels down the wall into the ground before becoming a beautiful sunset tableau of a city.
This type of stop motion video probably incorporates some visual effects as well, which makes the production value higher as well as the cost. But what a creative concept! For example, this advertisement is all about possibilities, and how small changes can make big differences for companies with big goals and aspirations. So with that in mind I'd recommend a frame rate of between 15 and As for your ideas on making money out of it, I'd say go for it.
Improve this answer. The brain holding an image? Not sure I agree with the first sentence - how we experience motion differs a lot from individual to individual and where in our view stuff is actually moving. People in high-speed situations can often tell the difference up to and beyond FPS I believe that minimatt is talking about persistence of vision en. OskarDuveborn Film at least physical film is typically projected at 24fps, and television broadcasts were typically in 25fps PAL or 30fps NTSC albeit interlaced for 50 or 60 half frames pers second.
Disney and Warner Brothers animations were typically drawn "on twos", where each frame would be shown twice resulting in fps. While most TVs can sync to a different refresh rate, this requires support from the device that displays the animation, and this will very seldom be done unless in a properly set up home theatre system.
