That was a very good guide! Thank you for the detailed tutorial!! Another few things that I have learned for camera movement is to keep the camera focused on one character. I use the onion skin feature for that. So that the character will always be in the same spot on screen. I also use a stretched out paper clip, attach two globs of sticky tack ( one at each end ) and use that to hold the lasers, bullets or arrows. That way I still have both hands to use. It also has a smaller shadow.

Thanks! That’s a really good idea for camera movement, didn’t know that. Brick built stands work really well too for holding the lasers but I can kinda get away with using my fingers as the actual camera is way less sensitive to light flicker so I barely ever have any.

[@lotr_bricks]

@@openshutterfilmsoh yes, that can definitely work too!

The best video just hat I needed

[@openshutterfilms]

Glad it helped!

[@clonetrooper1]

Thank you for this tutorial! I have struggled whit my stop motions when it comes to this so this was helpful

[@openshutterfilms]

I’m really glad! I’m still learning new stuff every time I animate, it’s great just to try stuff out and see which techniques you like best!

Very nice tutorial video ! Practical blasters are cool !

[@openshutterfilms]

Yeah I have completely coverted to using practical over vfx now.

[@SidLeniuhStudios]

Great tutorial, thanks :D

[@JST.official]

if I may have a word, always have a character [one or two] that will be the main focus. You can have a whole army also, but there should be protagonist in your battle. It will allow viewer to feel what one soldier can feel during a chaotic, crazy battle. Focus on that. That is what I wanted to say, have a cool day!

[@openshutterfilms]

Yeah that’s basically what I say in the blocking section of the video, totally agree that is a really important thing to include. Thanks for the comment!

[@Sleemo-productions]

Very interessting Tutorial! I watch these kinds of videos for years, but still learn more from time to time. This video was especially interessting, because of the camera movement. So thanks for that! I actually started animating years ago, but only finished one project yet (thats why there are almost no Stop Motions at my channel). The other ones got never really far and I don´t have the material anymore, but I plan to try a new one, if I find time. So overall huge thanks for the Tutorial! Greetings from Germany! ps. The Sounds weshare link doesn´t work anymore. Could you make a new one or sth? I always are on search for new sounds myself, thats why I´m really interessted.

[@openshutterfilms]
