How do you make a stop motion film?

Answer 1

A stop motion film is essentially a moving image made up of 'still' images, or 'pictures', played in quick succesion.

Transferring these images from the camera to a computer requires a card reader or cable (cable should be supplied with camera).

Answer 2

To make a stop motion film you must take multiple pictures of a certain object a little bit at a time. Great examples can be found on YouTube and great tutorials can be found by typing in stop motion tutorial in Google.com or going to youtube and typing in Nathan Wells. He has great LEGO stopmotion films and LEGO stop motion tutorials which can basically work for any object.

I am looking for a piece I saw back around 1970. It may have been on The New Curiosity Shop. It was about a buglike alien landing on what he thought was the ruins of a dead civilization. I remember him as looking metallic and speaking in rhyme. The ruins and skeletons were actually a dinner table after the people had gone (chicken bones etc. as the skeletons, dinnerware for buildings). Then the people returned and he left in a hurry!

The puppets are articulated and captured on film using incremental adjustments to the puppet . The more the puppet is manipulated and filmed the smoother the animation . Take a look at the 'making of' featurettes that are often part of the bonus features on DVDs where the film is one of Stop=motion such as Coraline and others .
