Class notes


Remember to prepare at least 5 pages of reference material and drawings for class on 16/08 or 17/08. This may include a draft of a storyboard.
Half the class will be spent on individual feedback and the rest will be a demonstration on how to create walk sequences.

Stop-Motion Studio:

Click here for a list of things the studio does and doesn't supply.

  • Please remember to place the shooting keypads back in their plastic bags when you're finished.
  • Please clean the glass in the multi-planes with window-cleaner (supplied in studio) when you're finished shooting.

Dragon tips:
  • If you have any image stabilization/vibration reduction function on your camera, TURN IT OFF. For some reason it makes the frames jump around a bit when using Dragon.
  • If your camera does not show up automatically once it's connected to Dragon, the best way to find it is to go to the help menu at the top and click "camera test". At this point it will probably register your camera, but you might still need to set the capture and video source under the capture menu.
  • Adjust your camera settings via the cinematography window (eye icon on top right) and lock them down to ensure that the settings don't change accidentally during shooting
