Stop motion videos.

[niner]

Has anyone on here done any stopmotion videos?

I have been looking at a lot on youtube and videos on youtube on how to do them, is it painstakingly long?

Do you need a specific camera? A mate of mine in work has one of there all singing, all dancing Nikon SLR's that has a stopmotion program on it, mine hasnt. I take it you could take hundreds of pics just to get a few seconds to do it right?

I watched one and it had a sequence of 10,000 pictures on it! and that was about 3 and half minutes long i think......I tried one a while back but got bored with it! haha

Ive got a camera and a tiny tripod, I just need to get my backside in gear to do one. Idealy you need an area where you can set it up and leave it and come back to it to take the pics.

I have done a few but took them off YouTube because the US children who were doing the same didn't like them !!!! In short terms. Joe will understand me!!!

How do you mean? Were they picking fault with them?

They are hard to do, and I suppose it takes years to master the art.
