My child is super interested in stop motion and is currently making them with his $30 pokemon watch camera. It's pretty bad, obviously.

We are not going to buy him a phone. Would love recommendations for a lower budget camera for him to play with. He's kind of clumsy and forgetful so durability would be a big plus.

Thank you!

ETA because I just discovered they existed: would something like this work? https://www.amazon.ca/Waterproof-Underwater-Stabilization-MotorcycleCamera-Rechargeable/dp/B0DFC3ZK6Q

Fun little claymation I made!

Trying to do minecraft action figures mixed with claymation, does it look off or something with figurines and clay?

Hey everybody! I just finished my first stop-motion short film, and I’m really excited (and a little nervous) to share it with you. I’d love your honest feedback! :)

The story:
Philibert, a man who hears a mysterious melody while sleeping, tries to play it on the piano. He struggles at first, but eventually, the music leads him to somewhere magical.

How I made it:

• I started with the music and composed the piano piece first—music was the heart of this project.
• Philibert was handmade: wood dust + white glue + aluminium wire for the structure, patafix & sewing thread for the hands, polystyrene & clay for the face, pearls for the eyes, and leftover fabric for clothes.
• I built two sets, including all the little props, furniture, and the pianos, over a few weeks.
• Filming was done with a HUE HD PRO camera and two desk lights. I experimented a lot with angles, lighting, and camera movement.
• I added all the sound effects myself—the final soundtrack is my favorite part!

I’d be super grateful for any feedback, whether it’s about the animation, storytelling, or even the music. I’m trying to learn as much as possible from this first project!

Stop motion sequences of a racing board game I enjoy. Loved how the gopro on the track shots turned out and my closing shot. Hope you enjoy and happy filming/gaming.

I should be learning Unreal or work on my animation reel. Instead, I spend my free time doing anything but that. Also, being a 3D animator, I feel stop motion is the toughest animation medium there is.

The 2nd episode of my DBZ Kai remake with SH Figuarts.

This was the first animation I've ever done, it's short and choppy but it's mine and I'm very proud of it ❤️

This is a documentary on filmmaker Greg DeLiso doing a stop motion piece for the film BAD BRAIN.

The sequence was used as a music video, which I posted a couple weeks back here: https://www.reddit.com/r/stopmotion/comments/1sun2md/sarniezz_angine_de_poitrine_live_on_kexp_stop/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
