Justin, your channel has been a huge help and your work the past few years has been such an inspiration for me to completely dive deep into the craft. Appreciate you sharing your experience and expertise!

This video was awesome Justin!!! Thanks for all the great content!!!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

Thanks for watching!! and Hope you are doing well!!

[@RSnippets]

If you’re using your phone you can use headphones with a volume up and down switch so you won’t have to move the camera. Or a Bluetooth remote which is really cheap on Amazon.

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

GREAT tip!! thanks for sharing here

[@Abstraxtudio]

yea, used this as a standard now!

I am sure that this video is gonna be BIBLE for future stopmotion animators

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

That would make me very happy. I have many more videos coming that should help young animators

epic, thank you very much for this great class on how to start in stop motion. I hope that more people will join this art. and I hope to see your future animations ^ w ^

my pleasure...ill be doing many more

[@johnnyvenom2912]

My brother and I will take these tips Thank you so much❤😊

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

[@veronicajames2341]

ahhh i found you from tik tok. i’ve been interested in stop motion since i was in sixth grade and my friend and i wrote a script for an animated series and these videos are so helpful :)

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

I am so happy you found me!! Ill be creating many tutorials and episodes so stay tuned....its never too late to try it.

[@retrorepairshop9693]

Thank you so much I make stop motions myself and it is awesome

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

so glad you liked! more to come

[@retrorepairshop9693]

Justin Rasch Animation thanks I will make sure to watch them

[@thesoubranmx9778]

Great video! I remembered I had to do a stop motion for school about 1 year ago and I loved it... The making process. The video in the end was not so good because I ran out of time. But, I really struggled with the weight of my puppet. I basically made a diy armature with some wires and put some clay on it. The result was me really trying to avoid the puppet from falling off. So, I would love you to make a video about tricks on how to do puppets.

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

That's awesome! and yes....i have a couple of videos up on making puppets but more to come.

[@sealife5697]

Thanks for sharing this video! Quick question, I'm currently trying to build my own sturdy stop motion table but I'm unsure which height I should set the table to. Do you have a reference point (eg. waist, chest, bellybutton...) by which you set the table height in order to keep you comfortable while animating?

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

40 Inches tall is pretty typical....up to 44 for a tall person

[@sealife5697]

@@JustinRaschAnimation Thank you!! So would you say 40 Inches is good if I'm 67 inches tall?

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

@@sealife5697 yes perfect...your back wont ache

This is so informative! I came here after watching all of your TikTok stuff, your work is rad :D

[@dodgson_9327]

Any new DLSR’s you recommend ?, I really like the suggestions you pointed out but sadly they’re all unavailable or really expensive. So I’m wondering if there are some new cameras available today that are cheap, yet can shoot with greatly quality for Stop motion Thank you.

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

hmmm...you know i am using higher end cameras for my stop mo....so im not sure what out there is affordable....I think most cameras that have a video out feature will work. you can also check dragon frames website for compatible cameras you will find one. other wise webcams are super affordable

[@dodgson_9327]

@@JustinRaschAnimation awesome, thank you

[@geoffking6525]

I've been an hand drawn animator for around 10 years and just started to properly get into stop motion this year. Your videos have been super useful! I've just finished a 'stop motion a day for 30 days' that was really fun to make, and I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I have a lot of experience with getting a 2d job but I don't want to assume stop motion is the same. It seems there are a lot of cross over skills but also specialist skills and differences in production structures. Have you done, or would you do a video on tips and advice on getting into the industry of stop motion? I am specifically curious to know whether there places for junior animators to learn on stop motion features.

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

i started in 2d as well...then learned cg before jumping to stopmotion. I will tell you...that 2d is a fantastic foundation and the craft will speed up your success in stopmo very much. Thats a great idea for a epsiode....i will add it to my list. The main thing you need is a demo reel just like in 2d or cg.....with quality work. Jrs usually have to pay their dues on tv before making the jump to feature

[@Plastianimation]

Great info for everybody 🥳🤓

[@greenmanstudios8746]

I've been wanting to work with clay for a while, but I want to know a few things. First, when using the van adken clay, do the limbs of the clay figure tear when posing? Lastly, do you use a armature underneath the clay puppet?

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

yes...clay will require constant sculpting....and if you do have a simple wire structure in underneath it helps.

[@greenmanstudios8746]

@@JustinRaschAnimation Welp that settles it, Imma buy that van adken clay. The one I bought was a "earth mineral" based modeling clay, but it felt way too soft. Thanks Mr. Rasch, I'll share my test runs with you on twitter.

[@Abstraxtudio]

The table bit was awesome. While I'm a big believer in honing craft 1st before upgrading equipment, I'm at that point where I'm starting to transition to dragonframe myself from my iphone 6s. I got started after watching your live action x stopmotion fusion and I wanna ask if/when you got the time, I've been making some work on my channel and would appreciate some critique/feedback in any of my works or maybe some suggestion. It's fine if you're unable, just thought I should asked since your overwatch works gave me the final push to breathe my figure collection into life. As always thanks for making these kind of videos!

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

I am actually going to be doing live reviews of peoples work on my live stream soon.I would love to see your work.

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

cool stuff man! Im excited to see where you take it all.

[@Abstraxtudio]

@@JustinRaschAnimation First of all, thank you for stopping by to have a look! can't wait for the live stream, and hope to get some valuable feedback so I know where to get better and learn more from you!

Hi Justin, thanks for making this video, your work is amazing. I do have problem with having me action figure to stick to the rig , any advices ?

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

i am new to action figure animation ...but...hot gluing the support to the back of your figure has worked for me....its always a struggle though

[@tawfiqmohammad575]

@@JustinRaschAnimation True it is challenging , but hot gluing wouldn't damage them sir ? How did you the one with overwatch action figure? And by the way where did you get them so aswome

[@KreativeHuman]

Thanks Incredibly helpful

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

my pleasure!

[@rhysseddon7279]

Thank you, very helpful video. Just wanted to ask I can't afford dragonframe but I own a DSLR, I saw a behind the scenes of Gerald's last day, did you attach a webcam to the DSLRs live view peep hole or sit it on top of your dslr to get your preview with monkey jam?

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

yes....but this was maaaaaany years ago.....now ...you just need a web came. they are high rez for photos

[@thdcinema]

Very cool stuff, thanks for sharing ;0)

[@JustinRaschAnimation]

my honor

[@jacobsclaymation6684]

Great advice. I've been using the Stop Motion Sudio app. I think my next purchase will be a web cam so I can try Monkeyjam. I would like to get Dragonframe and a Canon but with the cost of both it'll be a while. For now I am having fun with the app. I just really struggle with timing and movement. I think having a program with the onion skinning feature will help. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally bumped the object being filmed and have to eyeball it back. Also the eraser tool on the app I use is terrible or maybe it's user error but where I erase it's always obvious so I haven't been able to make anything go above the table. Thanks for posting these videos! Edit: I just realize the app DOES have onion skinning, at least for the last frame.
