Introduction to Stop Motion: Create Animated Loops

Overview

“Let's go for the animation of our project! The idea here is to make a loop, that is to say that we cannot determine where the beginning and the end of the animation are. I will therefore have to start my animation at a “high” moment: when the animated elements go as quickly as possible. In my case, it is stage 2, the descent. I will then continue two by two, to give the illusion of speed.”

In this video lesson Victor Haegelin addresses the topic: Animating the Elements 1, 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.

For that, I will start my animation in a strong moment, in a time when animated elements, shoes and skateboarding, go as fast as possible, because it is much easier to connect to a place where the steps are big than with small steps. For example, if we decide to find a position rigorously exact where nothing moves, it will be difficult, but to find a position in movement, it will be easier. If you don...”
