There was craziness this weekend as rock/funk/ridiculous duo The Name hijacked SpaceBase: Infinity’s communications system and rocked the house… or the base, as the case may be. Watch as Stack Dump and Cliff’s doppleganger grapple with a terrifying barrage of self-sampled mayhem!
As you can see, there are tons of mistakes in all areas – planning, photography, sequencing, editing, rendering… you name it, we messed it up. Things on our to do / remember list:
- Make sure when starting a new stop motion project, set the camera recording settings to an HD picture quality and aspect ratio.
- If characters are going to be talking with their backs to the camera, make them move when they are talking rather than jittering randomly.
- Adjust any sampled (aka YouTubed) footage to the same aspect ratio as the stop motion stills.
- Try normalizing (?) the color balance and contrast on all stills before constructing the final scene.
- Find a render setting that won’t screw up the 3d transformations.
That’s it for now!
