Good Stop Motion.

This is a tutorial on how to do stop motion. It has a lot of tips and other things. First you're probably like this, "What's stop motion anyway?" It's actually like taking pictures. I use it on Lego. You get a Lego guy.You take a picture of it, then you move his arm or something, then you will continue this process. After about 50-100 pictures you can be done. When you go through the pictures really fast, the Lego guy will look like it is moving. First thing, you need a camera or a webcam. (The camera thing you connect to your computer)
I will explain what you do with the camera. You place the camera on the floor, so it doesn't shake to much. You will have to get a Lego base, to put your characters on. You can design the base. And you don't have to use Lego, you can use almost anything, clay, mega-bloks. Anyway, after you design the base, you make a background. I usually just use a blank, white wall. You put your Lego guy or clay guy on the base. You take a picture and then you move take a picture, move, etc. You go through the pictures really fast. You can do whatever you want with the pictures. HERE IS A BIG TIP, TRY NOT TO MAKE YOUR MOVEMENTS SO BIG. IT LOOKS MORE BETTER AND SMOOTHER WHEN YOUR MOVEMENTS ARE SMALLER. Next, I will tell you what to do with the webcam. You can do the same thing you did with the camera and then upload it into your computer OR you can do what I do.
