Stop Motion, fps, and Pacing.

Where dust and sand (and cat-hair it has to be said) are the biggest enemies of stop-motion, patience is the biggest asset. From just two short (short) films, I'm learning a fair bit about thinking in advance, and how to make something look good. Missing a step can be good or bad, depending on what you're trying to achieve - and lighting does make all the difference...

As promised, a Lego short.






There are a few mistakes - namely shadows, camera woes, and perhaps some off-pacing (especially in the build-up between the walk and the pause at the mailbox). It's all good learning though. I want to get one more play around under my belt before I start filming "Reckless Zen". The next one will involve audio and proper lighting. 
Afterall, working out what not to do now, will save reckless re-filming later on.
