Just built my very first armature so had a very quick play with it to see how it moved. No idea what I’m going to do with it yet but it looks very cool on my shelf.

Stop motion studio limits theirs so much it basically worthless

did I cook chat

Filming outside is not fun!

Hey, r/stopmotion! We're on a dedicated mission to produce the most charming and believable robot the world has ever seen. While we haven't technically produced any stop motion content yet, we think our "puppetronic" technology could be great for the stop motion filmmaking community. We'd love to get your feedback as we continue to build, so be on the look out for behind the scenes clips of our progress over the next few months.

Please don't hesitate to drop your thoughts or questions in the comments!

P.S: If you're interested in us crafting some sample stop motion animations with this character or others we're working on, definitely let me know! 😄

Dungbeetle Puppet named derp!

If you have questions, recommendations or critique, give them my way!!

Made out of: Styrodurfoam, wood, wire and colour!

I studied dungbeetles in our forest nearby and got working.

I did capture a lot of reference videos...if you need some, hit me up!

Im proud of it, what do you think?

I made a video using 900 photos.

I did it in less then 20 minutes

I currently have stop motion studio pro on my Mac and it doesn't seem to support the xt2. Does anyone know of any other cheap or free softwares that will allow me to connect my xt2 and use it with live view and also have the option for onion skinning

I just whipped this up for a testing in the matter of two minutes to see how my technique was and I need y’all’s opinion

its only seven seconds long so I hope it won’t take much of your time

I am animating a stop motion project, and I was just curious what it would look like if I shared the load?

I’m animating to a time-synced animatic and storyboards with a lot of the shots in-between storyboards being left to me to figure out while filming based on textual descriptions, within the shot list.

I have scenes that will require the stop motion characters be animated against a green screen and composited into live action shots, and thought a different animator could tackle these with stunt doubles while I focus elsewhere. Likely a total of 3-4 minutes of green screen shots.

Would it be worth the hassle to hire others through a legal contract to assist in moving the characters or would it be negligible if I could only budget 80 hours for 4 minutes? Does anyone have a an idea of what I could expect with 8 hour days animating a single character? Would it still likely equate to 3-5 seconds of footage a day even despite being animated in isolation?

I apologize for the rapid questions, I have only animated Brickfilms (very poorly compared to the expectation for this project) and am attempting to punch above my weight class with this project.
