Description
Single frame filmmaking has been around as long as film itself. It is the ancestor to modern-day special effects and animation. Despite its age-old practice, single frame filmmaking and stop-motion animation continue to influence media and culture with their magic. Current advances in technology and classic stop motion techniques, such as pixilation, time-lapse photography, and down shooting, have combined to form exciting new approaches.
Tom Gasek’s Frame-By-Frame Stop Motion offers hands-on experience and various tricks, tips, and exercises to help strengthen skills and produce effective results. Interviews from experts in the field not only offer inspiration but also help readers learn how to apply skills and new applications. The companion website provides further instruction, recommended films, tools, and resources for both the novice and the expert.
Key Features
- Features interviews with industry experts that offer inspiration and insight as well as detailed explanations of the inner workings of non-traditional stop motion techniques, processes, and workflows.
- Applies professional stop motion techniques that have been taught and refined in the classroom and applied to leading stop motion films, exhibiting at South By Southwest, Cannes, and more.
- Explores the stop motion opportunities beyond model rigs and puppetry. Re-visualises stop motion character movements, build downshooter rigs, and configures digital workflows with After Effect tutorials while creating dynamic, creative, and inspired stop motion films.
- Offers new coverage of smartphones and their application in stop motion.
- Covers motion control, Dragon Frame, evolution of timelapse, expanded light painting, DSLR cameras, and more.
