Pajama's Stop-Motion Thread

[PajamaEntertainment]

I just made my first stop-motion animation yesterday, the camera and dragon jerk around a bit but I'm still pretty pleased with it.

it is pretty nice without the shakiness. where'd you film it?

thanks part of the reason y its so shaky is cuz the things feet couldnt be flat so it moved around a bit, to make the blank void that hes standing in i took a white poster board or wutever its called (the things you use for science fairs) and put it against a wall then i put a white box in front of it, then i put the dragon in the center of the box and set the camera down on the end (the half circle shadow at the bottom is the shadow of the camera i think) after that i took 5 pictures of him flapping his wings down. The i imported the pics into flash, (which was really annoying cuz i had to manually resize each of them) then i put them in the correct order and then repeated them bakwards so it would loop.

you do know you don't have to resize them you could just make the dimensions smaller then have them be the size of the pictures

[PajamaEntertainment]

no i cant actually the pictures are too big for flash's dimensions to handle so the only thing i can do is resize
