You don’t need much to get going – just a camera and an object/character/drawing that you want to animate. What one piece of advice do you have for people wanting to start in stop-frame animation? I’m also on Instagram Twitter and Facebook (as Designasaur) if you want to say hello!ĩ. Where can people go for more information or to view your animations? I also love making my own short films and I’ve had an idea in mind for a little while now, but I know it’ll take a very long time to complete, so it’s all about finding the time to set aside for it. Tough question! I’ve made a couple of adverts and a music video which have been really fun, so I’d love to do more work like that. What can we look forward to in the near future from you? I feel like if I had to choose a mascot, it’d be a bear because they’re adorable and full of personality.ħ. I’ve animated a clay version of Cookie Monster a few times which is always fun, but in terms of my own work, my go to character is always a bear.
Do you have a favourite character to animate, and what makes them so special?
The music video is only two minutes in length, but a lot more went into the production process.Ħ. I’ve recently signed off on a music video, however that took around six months to complete and involves a full set, backdrop, props and several characters. Currently, I make a one minute film every week for a Youtube channel using two characters over a plain white background, which takes around two and a half days. On average, how many hours does it take to create your films?
For lighting, I use F&V LED lights and edit my films in Adobe Premiere Pro.ĥ. What is your setup like? Which camera and software do you use to make your movies?Īt the minute, I use a Canon 450D camera with Dragonframe stop motion software. You can be really intricate and artistic with it or a bit more messy and expressive and still achieve something that looks great.Ĥ. While it’s not the most durable material, it’s fun to work with and there’s so much that you can do with it. What medium do you prefer to work in and why? I set up at my kitchen table, shot a little clip using an old digital camera and edited the stills together in Windows Movie Maker.ģ. I’d made a character (a little snail) out of plasticine for fun and thought that it would be cool to animate it. How did you start making stop frame animation? I made my first stop motion film about 8 years ago and haven’t really stopped animating since then.Ģ. This time we take a slightly different look at animation, moving away from plastic minifigures to look at an animator with a self appointed PHD in Plasticine!
