I just missed that stop-motion gif thread. Can we have a stop-motion thread? What's the simplest software/program/way to start baby's very first stop-motion?
Old OP here. My bad was supposed to attempt to keep that alive. Anyways I honestly just use windows movie maker and photoshop but I just make basic shit. If I need to do something a little more I use sony vegas.

Made this, with the help of some anon who fixed the framerate.

That's excellent quality. More than enough for what I'd be doing - I'm probably gonna start with like ten frames of turning a figure's head back and forth, just see how it works.
I used to make Doctor Who stop motion videos. They were really shitty, because I was about 9 and the camera was crap but I could probably do it all on my iphone now.
My thing is that the figures don't really allow much room to convey emotion, which restricts a fair bit of filmmaking techniques.

That's pretty good. What program did you use?
>>5569166
lol that's pretty amazing

Dragonframe for the capture, Photoshop for making it a gif. Although I'm willing to bet you can make gifs in dragonframe somewhere.
>>5570166
Did you pay for Dragonframe?
>>5569166
Damn that's pretty good.

That's not bad, I like the forward movement. What program did you use?
can anyone recommend a affordable camera thats the same quality of these gifs posted? i dont have a phone that can take pictures or anything like that

...oh my god, I think that might have been me? I have vague memories of this.

Nope. It wasn't you. Don't try to take credit for other people's work.
A few stupid question but here goes:
1) Can I just take photos with my DSLR as normal and link them together?
2) how many individual frames do I need per second for a relatively smooth motion?

1. You can take photos with that and link them together, but use another application other than windows movie maker.
2. 12 frames per second is standard for stop motion and looks smooth

Why no Windows Movie Maker? The guy said he did that excellent Bruce Lee gif with it.
>>5579350
not him but usually windows movie maker is not very helpful for quick photo changes, the fastest you can put tend to give you a slow effect if you have too much frames.
something to note though is that you can make it more fluid if you do this
>export the animation as a video
>re-import it as a new project
>use the faster movement effect

but then the quality of the video will probably get worse, since you are processing an already processed thing. and other animation programs can give you better results and doesn't need to make this much hassle
i used to make stop motions with movie maker, and shit was a bit hard to make.

Thanks anon.
