iStop Motion Animation

These are the screen shots of the Stop Motion I did during the tutorial.

These are the screen shots of the Anime Stop Motion I did at the weekend.

iStop Motion is a software which enables you to capture an image frame by frame, producing an animated story/time-lapsing movie. It enables you to slow down and speed up your animation.

The first time using iStop Motion I couldn't think of any good ideas, therefore the first time I screen shot my Stop Motion and rendered it out as a video didn't really last long as it was just me doing some random poses.

I decided to re-do my Stop Motion therefore I came into university at the weekend and re-did it, I had a good idea but then without an external webcam I found it difficult to re-position the image where it previously was therefore the stop motion didn't turn out as well as I wanted to.

Overall, its a great software to use for stop motion, but instead of using the integrated Mac camera it'd be much better and more easier to use an external camera, not only that but it is also time consuming as you'd need to take quite a few of the same shots to expand the time frame.

This could be one of the animation softwares I could use for my final 20 sec animation.
