How To make a Stop-Motion Basic Tutorial

[Music] hello and welcome this is an updated version of the tutorial that I did a while ago this is the same tutorial with updates and improvements on how to make stop-motion these are the basic steps so you can start doing stop-motion right now first you need to think on what the animation will be about and choose your action figures it could be any kind of figures in my case Marvel Legends figures then you need to choose where are you going to be making this stop-motion you can be very creative and create a turn dramatic scene with buildings or in the forest or maybe in the city on this tutorial I will just use a white background it's very important that you are comfortable because you could spend hours making the animation lights lights are very important it doesn't matter if you make your videos very bright or in the dark the light cannot change it's supposed to have the same illumination or the video will look flickering that's why you need to make your video indoors it's very risky to shoot outdoors because the lights changes very constantly I always use these photographic lights for my videos you can look for them on Amazon or any other website by searching for a graphic light however you can still use the lines of your house if you cannot get yet these photographic light tripods very important element you will need at least one of these elements in my case I have four of these with different sizes depending on the scene these are very important because it helps you to keep your camera still it's not good if your scene moves every time your animated figure you can find this as well on one more online by tripod to hold your phone you will need this it comes with different looks but the function is the same you can get this as well an on warmer or by searching online by Stan holder mount for phone there's also many ways for you to do this function if you don't have a tripod it's only for you to think be more creative to use what we have right now this is a tutorial how to make stop motion with your mobile phone you just need a cell phone with a camera [Music] the stop-motion app that I always use is called stop-motion studio you can search it on the App Store as well you can browse for more apps and try them out but I recommend you to use the stop-motion app there's the free version and the paid version of stop-motion studio [Music] same with Android users on the Play Store you will find the applications and even more to try out with similar apps [Music] this is an updated version of the app [Music] let's click on new movie and now let's have a closer look to start taking pictures you need to tap where the camera logo is we have enter now to this interface the arrow logo needs to go back to the timeless section the clock logo is the timer for automatic pictures it takes pictures by itself depending on the given time that feature is very useful for the reason that you don't need to touch your camera so you can avoid shaky images [Music] the big red circle is to take pictures [Music] the play button is to preview what you have so far the last setting is very important as you can see I don't have access to some features because I am on the free version of the app let's tap on the M logo in here you will need to choose the manual mode I highly recommend you to use it on manual so the lights or brightness stay the same on the aw logo I recommend you to choose the fluorescent setting since we are shooting indoors this settings is more recommended the next one is to adjust the focus if you want the camera to focus on other options you can explore and learn more the rest of the settings but for this video we will cover just the basics and the steps that you need to start making videos right now [Music] this other element is very important as well this tool lets you see the previous picture that was taken it's very useful if you the figures falls out of the place you can place it right back at the same place or to follow a movement path of the figure [Music] a quick tip for you you can use your headphones to take pictures and avoid touching your camera you can use the volume buttons to take the pictures if these doesn't work for Android users you can use the self-timer that we talked about okay it's time to make the animation [Music] it took me 49 pictures to make this short animation tap the play button to preview your work looks pretty good but very slow [Music] let's tap on the Settings button - I chose the movie speed frames-per-second I started using 15 frames per second looks much better [Music] today I use between 25 and 30 looks good but very fast if we are using 30 frames per second we will need to take more pictures to make the movement a lot better but for now let's make it 15 explore this layout on the question mark logo it explains the function of everything that you can see like the preview button the settings to change the velocity of the video the intersections in between teachers the aspect ratio and so on you can also see that the free version has its limitations if you think it's worth it you can get the full version and the plus logo you will find the next settings adding images from your phone title and credits audio like sound effects music provided by the app or from your music library or even other videos the microphone lankan needs to record your own voices to have a better sound results and use your headphones as a microphone you can also edit every picture by typing on it it has even more settings like at an audio sound effect to pass it and make it the frame longer you can draw arrays cut copy or paste however you will find most of the feature locked because of the free version of the app if you delete a picture by mistake you can always undo everything that you do on this screen by tapping the undo lock now it's time to export the video for iPhone tap on the select and select your video then you will tap on the share button and you will show how you can save your video things we will use the export movie so it can be found on the photo library [Music] and there it is for under users tap on select and select your video tap on the share logo and choose the export movie he will show you where to save your video but for this we will choose the Save button as that means that we will find it on download [Music] once it's done if you want to choose a specific fire or just tap the Save button let's go to library you will find it on the download section [Music] that's pretty much what you need to start making your own videos right now this was an updated version from my first stop-motion tutorial thank you guys for watching [Music] [Music] [Music]
