TIPS ON MAKING A STOP MOTION FILM:
- recommended frame rate 15 frames per second. Smooth transitions and movement. For beginners 12 and under.
- use tape to hold down your sets so they don't move. Or use tape to hold down anything that you don't want moving.
- Use tissue paper, or parchment paper to cover your lamp, to avoid harsh glares on your set.
- only build as much as you can actually see in the camera shot. There's no point in putting in extra work if it's not going to show.
