I want to start posting a weekly video using stop motion animation. What i need is some ideas on what yall would like to see. Character battles, robot chicken kinda stuff, whatever your twisted little minds can help me come up with. I also need some help comming up with a name for my little series. i was thinking Rumbles Cenimation, or Rumbles cinema sickness. Give me any ideas. Critisizm welcome. Here is the post to my first test done just getting used to the camera, ignore the audio on this one since i was just trying to figure out the stop motion feature.

so i guess no one cares or has any thoughts then huh.

 

Not bad ... the video is a bit dark, but the motion looked pretty smooth.

What are you using for a camera and software to put this together?

 

Im using a jvc mini-dv video camera, cuz it was in my price range and pinacle studio 9.3 for editing and making an mpeg. The first one i did, i didnt really edit or anything i just wanted to see how the images turned out. Once i get this going it will be a much better production. Throw ideas my way on character you want to see and scenes you want them to act out. Im gonna try and add audio as well.

 

Here's an idea.. re-enact Transformers: The Movie, scene for scene. That'll keep you busy for awhile.

Actually, just doing the scene where Prime "runs over decepticons like an asian grandmother got behind the wheel", to quote a funny review, would be pretty cool.

 

Thanks for the idea. sounds good. but i unfortunatly dont have a g1 or 20th prime only energon and cybertron. Which one would you like

 

it'd look amazing wtih 20th, but since you lack him, use Cyber Prime and have him go straight into Super mode, and then gun them down, it'd look cool.

 

Make sure you keep your camera from moving between shots. That's the biggest suggestion I can give personally.

Original, humorous content, with plenty of random, overly dramatic battles, would be pretty cool to see. If you ever need any original music I'd be happy to provide you with some.

 

Ill start posting the eps on mondays. and ive chosen a name for the show

 

I liked it. I liked the Hot Shot and Undermine piece, particularly.

 

thank you. It was fun to make and i wanted the little guy to win. I want to make a long fight sequence and add some voiceovers.
