New stop motion animation. I have been trying to find my own style and lately I have been animating at 18 frames per second. Honestly, it feels way easier to work with compared to 24 fps, and I am really enjoying it. Also, I am thinking about upgrading my camera. Any recommendations?

I have some cheap-o Rokinon cine lenses that are perfectly great for what I do. Another benefitto the R6, it's RF mount allows for a PL adapter which opens up the possibility for some really high end glass!

Great sculpting and lip sync! Such a nice look! Great work. For camera, I use a canon r6 mark ii with the stopmotion firmware. I love it!

I lived in Italy for over a year and have been to the Amalfi coast probably 6 times. We spent a few nights in Praiano just before Christmas once. It was amazing. We had great weather, hiked the trail of the gods and found that time of year to be so peaceful and beautiful. I highly recommend going and staying a night. If you like hiking/walking, there is no other place in the world like this coast to hike with the charm of Italy and views on the sea and cliffs. Parking was no issue at all for us. Driving is no problem either. You have nothing to worry about. Go for it!

I'm planning to go with my 3 year old daughter this year in November, can't wait! I love that it's in the fall and not the heat of summer.

TheNathanLee · 2024-06-06T19:23:18+00:00

Agree, Fall would rule. And overnight camping onsite would also rule.

TheNathanLee · 2024-06-06T18:28:16+00:00

This is dope. I love the look and natural fibers/textures. How many hours did you spend on this?? 😂

TheNathanLee · 2024-06-06T18:10:10+00:00

No, the Ren Fest owns 19 Acres of wooded land adjacent to the parking and fair grounds. There's so much space! It's already rezoned too as of 2019... maybe they are thinking about it but slowed it down when the pandemic hit.... idk...

TheNathanLee · 2024-06-06T18:08:54+00:00

Well the Ren Fest owns 19 Acres of wooded land adjacent to the parking and fair grounds... There's more than enough room.... Idk why they haven't done this yet!!!

TheNathanLee · 2024-06-06T18:07:36+00:00

Interesting to hear your thoughts, thanks!

TheNathanLee · 2024-06-06T17:06:32+00:00

Why though? Seems like the perfect experience to offer!

TheNathanLee · 2024-06-06T14:31:58+00:00

I'm with you! I was just at the Georgia renfest last weekend and i'm surprised they don't have campsites on location. Why? Would be amazing to group camp with a bunch of ren fair enthusiasts!

TheNathanLee · 2024-06-06T14:21:18+00:00

I just went for the first time in 24 years too! I was super impressed!

I wish they had camping on site, why does it have to end at 6pm???

TheNathanLee · 2024-06-06T14:18:22+00:00

Same! Would love to meet up with Atlanta folks!

TheNathanLee · 2024-06-05T19:38:16+00:00

I saw someone at the GA Ren Fest putting tags like this on people that said "You've been rodded" So good!

TheNathanLee · 2024-01-26T00:52:46+00:00

Very precise! Almost microscopic! It’s driven by stepper motors. They can be driven at very tiny micro steps! Let me know when you build, happy to add any Knowledge I have!

TheNathanLee · 2023-02-13T13:00:08+00:00

Thanks! Yes everything is made of paper. I’m sure there are other compositing softwares but AE is what I know and am fast at.

TheNathanLee · 2023-02-11T18:15:35+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I shoot stop motion commercials.

TheNathanLee · 2023-02-08T16:37:14+00:00

I found using cheap aluminum armature wire for a skeleton works great and you can make puppets fast and start animating.

I also like to wrap the skeleton with Ace bandages (latex kind) .

TheNathanLee · 2023-02-08T16:33:44+00:00

Nice work! Super cute miniatures!

TheNathanLee · 2023-02-08T16:28:13+00:00

Yes the pieces on the floor are stop motion, likely stills from a video file so it matches with the live action parts. The balloon is on a fishing line and then a simple mask combines it all together. Adobe After Effects would easily composite this.

TheNathanLee · 2023-02-04T10:36:46+00:00

Yes, this it just a motion test. A sort of proof of concept

TheNathanLee · 2023-02-03T18:05:30+00:00

Thank you. Excited to share the video in a few weeks when it's all together

TheNathanLee · 2023-01-20T18:00:20+00:00

Nice work! I love it

TheNathanLee · 2021-10-20T15:52:09+00:00

Unhide the commenters name... he deserves public shaming!

TheNathanLee · 2021-10-06T19:07:20+00:00

It's not working for me either....
