| 0 comments

DragonFrame Notes:

  • No saving is required, images are saved in a file every image
  • Save on UBS stick!
  • Set camera to MANUAL [M]
  • Two main windows – cinematography window, adjust the camera with shutter speed 
  • For focus, crosshair and bring the subject into the frame, click into the frame and use arrows to fine-tune adjustment
  • Take test shots so adjust settings as you go
  • Animation window- Enter is the capture frame, backspace twice is to delete a frame
  • Shooting on twos normally
  • Spacebar – play
  • Framing 16/9 at the bottom
  • Pixilation – a form of stop motion that uses the human form rather than working with puppets.

STOP-MOTION STUDIO INDUCTION NOTES:

  • Tape any wires down with Gaffa tape – provided in the studio
  • Handle lights with care
  • Handle the lights from the handles rather than from the bars
  • Always be cautious using the rails
  • Don’t bash your head on the lights!
  • Make sure the cinematography camera is set right
  • Don’t touch the ISO!
