I like the armature with wooden dowel and eye-screws you have posted up on your blog. I'm going to give that a shot! :)

Antony H,

Hi Jesse, cheers for choosing my stop mo, i cant actually believe i won it, but as you said in your comment about the looping its not good and ill probably never do it again unless it works, but i am very new to animation/claymation and i was tryn to see what the outcome was like, i did have plans to start over and also complete it as a full video/song but my program kept locking up and this was super frustrating hence the unfinnshed video, shame really, i havent thought of a good subject as of yet but ill give it my best shot and post it either later or tomorrow if thats ok, what happens now with the prize and putting the trophy on my youtube site as i would take great pride in using this as it was for my first claymation, again thanks Tony

P.S. how about "street life" for this months chellenge?

Jesse O on Thursday, 10 February 2011 15:23

Actually, I am working on a stop motion. Well, in story-boarding phase, right now, but it's coming along, if not slowly. :) Yourself?

Jordan Wade on Thursday, 10 February 2011 17:07

Anibal Benalva,

Please help!
I'm getting started in clay animation and I've bought a video camera, a Sony handycam HDR-XR550VE. It seems to me a good camera, but now I have a problem: the resolution it gives in Stopmotion Pro is very small. So I need to found some kind of connection between the HD of the camera and the USB of my computer. Could anybody help me?

Rebecca Smith,

Hi Jesse. I only really use one tool, which has a wooden handle with a brass hook type thing to scoop plasticine out and the other end is just a pointed brass piece. Other than that, it's just my hands and a paint brush to smooth. Hope that helps! xx

Jesse O on Wednesday, 29 December 2010 14:15

Thanks.

Jed Gibbs,

sorry Jesse, I was having 2 different conversations, got called away by work (darn work...) and got confused. Several of my comments were meant for Daniel : (

Jed Gibbs,

agree with you on Blender - I like the idea of free software but Cinema4D is so much more fun to use!

Jed Gibbs,

We're using iStop Express. They had a 'twitter' only promo at 50% off so I downloaded the pro trial, expecting I would buy it. But since the only point was to gain HD or better, and neither my stills camera nor my HD video camera would work, I won't be upgrading to Pro. Dragon worked well for me, and I liked having all the stills available to drag into Photoshop when I missed a white power lead for the lantern in this Blu-Tack as (the unretouched version) :

If you have photoshop extended, then you can import a video and edit it frame by frame - there is some animation timeline window...

Friday, 23 July 2010 09:13

Jed Gibbs,

Hey Jesse, what do you use when not exploiting the Dragon demo? I have used iStopmotion fairly happily until now with DV cameras, but for HD even the pro version of iStopmotion is no good to me as it will neither support my HDV camera thru firewire (dragon does) or my canon 1000D via usb liveview (dragon does again). Jed

Jesse O on Friday, 23 July 2010 09:05

I have iStopMotion express, and have been using it with my very old DV camera. I've wanted to try Helium Frog on windows with my newer camera.
You have istopmotion pro? I never understood why they wanted $400 dollars just for quality...

frank,

hey that sink animation u made was that computer made a hint if that $d sudio is what u used i would check out Blender 3d software its free and super realistic,its realy hard to use but its worth it and if you are useing it there are tons of tutorials on youtube +check out the kind of things people make on there!

Jesse O on Friday, 23 July 2010 09:07

No, that's legit stop motion (even the water.) I also do some 3D stuff, but I have Cinema 4D for that - I know one of my youtube Cinema4D tutorials is quite popular... :) (I've tried blender but the interface is impossible, Im waiting for 2.5 final release to come out)

Jesse O,
I used your tutorial to build the arms on a robot puppet. Thanks for the idea!

Mark,

Found you, now I just need to get back to the old days of animating one frame at a time.
