Many professional photographers (and also amateurs) have already tried and loved the stop-motion shooting technique, which allows you to make video using photographs. This technique is not new, but has recently become very popular. Stop-motion allows you to breathe life into stationary objects, opens up many opportunities for directorial moves. How to make an animation using a camera?
Necessary
camera, any video editing software, objects for drawing (optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Option one: you take all the objects necessary for the cartoon, draw the scenery, in general, create the entourage and start shooting. Your task is to capture the subject in action. To do this, build the scene the way you want to see it on the screen and take a picture. Next, make minimal changes to the scene and shoot it again. Any, even the most insignificant action should be captured in a separate frame, then the transitions between photos will turn out smooth and beautiful. For example, if you are photographing a child's car riding on a table, then every few centimeters of its movement should be filmed separately. It is very important not to change the angle!
Step 2
If you want to make a drawn cartoon using a camera, you will need a lot of paper. Using the same principle, draw a separate frame on each sheet. If you take an example with the same typewriter, then first draw it on the right edge of the sheet, on the next sheet - move it a little to the left, etc. Each sheet is also photographed separately.
Step 3
Having taken all the necessary photos, we proceed to the installation. To do this, you can use any video editing program: Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Movie Maker, etc. In turn, insert the captured scenes into the window for editing, and select the frame rate in the settings. If you want the resulting cartoon to resemble an ordinary tape, and not a sequence of photos, choose a frequency of 10 frames per second and higher, if you want to preserve the effect of discrete shooting, 3 frames will be enough.
Step 4
Music and credits edited separately. Your cartoon is now complete!
