Hi peeps!!

Just thought you folks might be interested to see my first attempt at a TF stop-motion animation. Hope this works!!



Sorry about it being jerky - i didn't have a tripod handy. I used Animation Studio (part of Paint Shop Pro), and the animation is running at 10 frames per second. Flle free to let me know what you think, but be gentle!!

That's cool. I can't wait to see it done with a more steady camera. 

 

great job Uncle Joe! In fact, i think the handheld effect adds coolness to the animation

 

Will borrow a tripod of someone and redo this animation. Thanx for the comments anyway!
Was thinking of doing a longer and slightly more complicated TF animation eventually, but will probably work up to that, instead of jumping in straight away.. hehehe

I'm getting motion sick

 

Thats pretty good man. I do some of that myself. The taller robots definately make it harder

 

Well, you try taking pix for stop motion animation without a tripod, matey!!
  Everybody's a critic!!  

 

considering you didn't use a tripod it's damn good.

 

Will definitely use a tripod for my next animations - even if I have to scrounge the use of one!! hehehe

 

Brillant!

 

Wow. He really does just fall over and call it an alt mode. I didn't believe it.

You're doing good work.

 

when i eventually get my self a digital camera/corder, i will be doing some of this myself and eventually i will making shorts of tranformers and such in stop motion animation, eventually with little added animated people and back grounds, well i can dream   thanks for the great animation! it has reincouraged me to try it someday myself soon.

 

That's pretty sweet. Look forward to seeing more!  

 

Was just wondering which one of you has added me to your MSN contacts list?  

 

That's neat man, very impressive for a first attempt. A tripod will kill the vibrations (duh, you knew that) but it still looks pretty neat with it. Your speed is alot more faster and better than what my old cam did (my new one does'nt do stop motion, Boo)
You can get cheapo tripods from $10 -25 at Target, Best Buy etc. Or a book will work hehe

Here's some old ones I did, may give ya some ideas

Nice job, but a still cam would have been better, very nice however
