Introduction to Stop Motion: Create Animated Loops

Overview

“Before embarking on the realization of the ramp and the animation, I will document myself. What exactly does a ramp look like? And what are the different movements of skateboarding? You will also have to do your research to understand the movements that you will have to reproduce as well as the setting in which you will be filming.”

In this video lesson Victor Haegelin addresses the topic: Documentation Phase, which is part of the Domestika online course: Introduction to Stop Motion: Create Animated Loops. Learn how to create an animated stop motion sequence from scratch with Dragonframe, from the initial storyboard to the finished film.

What I see like that is that we will be able to build the entire structure in fea...”
