Animating 4 Cameras on Dragonframe 5

[@tonialarco1580]

I really enjoyed conecting 2 cameras to Dragonframe, it is really usefull, it is the best update they made so far! It is true that the 4 low-res pictures are taken at the same time, but it is a minor problem rigth now... compared to the advantage of having multiple cameras!

[@edupuertasfruns]

Totally agree! I am working with them to improve it anyway ;)

[@oddplanetstudios6172]

Thanks for this. I upgraded to DF5 for my new laptop, but am still using DF4 on the old one, so I wasn’t even aware of the multi camera option. Can’t wait to try it out, but with just 2 to start with!!

[@edupuertasfruns]

It is great improvement

[@a_n_i_m_o_t_i_o_n_s]

I only just found out about this too.. awesome to have this option.. so can have multiple camera angles now on same shot, gives more choice over our artistic vision.. I been wondering how to do this for ages.. I thought I had to get another computer... but this is awesome...

[@NathanHacker]

Great video brother, animating with multiple cameras would be fun, but you addressed the challenges nicely!

[@edupuertasfruns]

😎 jaja

[@brooke6308]

Ok you’re officially having too much fun! 🤩

[@edupuertasfruns]

I am!

[@edupuertasfruns]

I want to know? Who is going to use 4 cameras at the same time?

[@tonialarco1580]

I did use 4 cameras but I found after the second one the 3rt and 4rt camera have some problems to conect to the computer. I don't know if the problem is with the computer or with the cameras or cable, but conecting a 3rt camera has been a bit harder to me

Puedes hacer un top de cámaras que recomiendas para stop motion?

[@tonialarco1580]

@@microniano Edu tiene un video sobre eso en su canal

[@microniano]

@@tonialarco1580 cual?

[@a_n_i_m_o_t_i_o_n_s]

could it just be to have more than one point of view / camera angles on each shot your working on.. so you could set one camera up to capture the whole set, then another camera zoomed in to some detail.. character's face or whatever, or another camera from above or below... this gives so much more control over your artistic vision on shooting your animation...

[@yashik]

Oh wow this is amazing, I always wanted to have this multicamera feature... for sure I will be updating from 4 to 5 this was a nice surprise :)

[@edupuertasfruns]

Yes it is

[@studiojamescao]

Haha, your « do it yourself » stuff for stop motion is so addictive to watch when you design it, build and test it ! (I won’t use this xD)

[@edupuertasfruns]

I agree there is some addiction

Muchas gracias por este video Edu! Qué pasada que Dragonframe esté avanzando tan rápido. Sabes si hay alguna forma de hacer que la cámara que está tomando las fotos del making-off dispare unos segundos antes cuando aún estás ajustando el puppet? En todos los stop motion behind-the-scene timelapses que veo el animador esta siempre ajustando los puppets o el objeto que animan aún pero si todas las cámaras conectadas disparan a la vez no entiendo muy bien como consiguen el efecto.

[@edupuertasfruns]

Hay varias maneras de conseguir. Puedes programar que dispare la foto por movimiento en la imagen al entrar el animador al set. También puedes animar tus fotos bts disparando esas imagenes con un pedal usb.

[@anasongel9227]

@@edupuertasfruns Gracias! He vuelto a ver el video y he localizado el sensor de movimiento en tu video. Para la segunda opción a la que te refieres animando con el pedal, programas la segunda cámara para tomar la foto unos segundos después o tomas la primera foto con el pedal (making-of) y sales de frame antes de que la segunda cámara tome la foto?

[@Pwner635]

Dam i love that video from 5 years ago that is with a mannequin

[@edupuertasfruns]

Thanks

[@far-fictionanimationrealit5526]

Thanks you for this explication

[@chelseagoals4276]

You have totally advanced

[@edupuertasfruns]

Yay 😁

[@hestedroschen]

A feature that I really enjoy in tahoma2D is the ability to send a synchronized animation layer into a projector - that way you can paint with light, and make all kind of hand animated atmospheric light effects on the set. I wonder if you can do this in Dragon Frame? Besides being free and open source - I'm very tempted to invest in DF because of the motionctrl that Tahoma2D lacks. But I really like painting with projected light on set. Does anyone know if this can be done with DF ?

[@edupuertasfruns]

I haven’t done what you say, don’t know if possible

[@ModelingInMotion]

What a complex job, congrats! How long did it take you to build this great community? I started an KZbin channel and I am making stop motion videos as well, of building scale model realistic cars, but my channel doesn't have any traction :(. I wonder what it takes on top of hard work to get some movement. Thanks and keep it up!

[@KaitlinGaspar]

i was just wondering how many cameras i could connect !!! i just got my own dragon frame license as a graduation present hehehehe

[@edupuertasfruns]

Excelent, animate a lot

[@GabrielsLogic]

De dónde eres Edu?

[@KaitlinGaspar]

you couldn’t have made a more tailored video for me

Which camera would you recommend to purchase for using with DF5: the older and less expensive Canon RP with stop motion firmware or the more expensive and newer Canon R6? Or should I go with my Lumix G9 for which I already have a set of MFT cinema lenses?

[@edupuertasfruns]

If I buy a camera just for stop motion right now it would be the canon 6Dmk2. Reflex ones work great. If you already have glass, then you might like to use the g9

[@frofilmli]

Thanks, I found a used one nearby

[@rhysseddon7279]

Bit of topic, but do you use toggling or onions skining whilst animating or a combination of both?

[@edupuertasfruns]

Most of time toggle, onion skin just to place things in place or for simple movements to control acceleration

[@luckystreak7113]

What older camera would you recommend for $200 to $300?

[@edupuertasfruns]

The one you find, if you find a 5d mk2 it is a solid one

[@profmovie_studio]

Доброго времени суток. Использую 5 версию Dragonframe. Когда подключаю камеру Canon EOS R10 к компьютеру, то в Dragonframe нет отображения с камеры. Хотя программа определяет, что к ней подключена камера EOS R10, потому что в настройках программы я это вижу, а отображения с камеры нет и соответственно в окне настройки экспозиции все значения обнулены. Пробовал крутить настройки камеры и настройки Dragonframe - ничего не получилось, может вы что нибудь подскажите?

[@kimerapolar]

Hey dude. Can you talk to us abiut the impact of AI's on the film and animation industry? I'm learning to animate in this way but i'm concerned about what these technologies can do. It will be awesome to have an opinion with such experience in the industry like you.

[@edupuertasfruns]

I don’t know enough about it. I do know it is possible to create in between frames so you can animate at lower frame rates and it is conpleted

[@louschweetz]

Can you connect via wifi wireless connection to dragonframe?

[@KittichetKlp]

Excuse me bro I am Thai people , In Thailand just someone use dragonframe But I see your content about stop motion so I will follow your style I world like to ask you something about camera connect to dragonframe. I have ploblem is I put cable Mini USB to Cannon 700D then USB Put to Labtop after I have make sure for connect cable from camera to labtob already I also open program Dragonframe then tab to Menu "CAMERA SETING" But I see just default Camera Setting of program Dragonframe So that meaning is Camera not Connect with Dragonframe How to check or setup dragonframe please tech me.

[@edupuertasfruns]
