STOP MOTION

What Is Stop Motion?

Well, stop motion is a type of animation where you shoot photos of a figure frame by frame. And when you put it all together, you have your animation!

Check out some Stop Motion Videos like the following:

*NOTE* I like SpongeBob Squarepants* You will notice that when you watch the following videos on youtube.


Anyway.....
back to stop motion (frame by frame). Of course you will need materials like a tripod....(I am not entirely sure of what all the materials are...I just know that you need a software, a tripod, and a camcorder with a fire wire connection thingy...). Later on, after I finish this Blog. I will be making another blog about MY own stop motion animation.


*NOTE* my animation will take pretty long. I still need to buy the materials, and buy or download the software. I need everything prepared. It would be most kind for you to comment me on which software is best for this situation or on which materials are best. When you do so...please do not lie to me....thank you for putting away some of your time in reading this!



THANK YOU!!!!!
