Wow this is some amazing stuff! Nice to see someone recognizing that 30FPS does not make a film good, 12 can always be sufficient

[@arjunator2688]

Hi

[@brixflixstudios9151]

I use 12

[@neo1754]

I use 8 but I literally started last night soo

[@Bluepuffanimations]

I do 12

[@darthryan100]

This is the first stop motion tutorial iv seen that actually explains things so well

[@penjaminthestrange4427]

5:40 i understand the point you're trying to make and it works well in an animation context, but swords aren't heavy! a greatsword (about head-height tip to pommel) can weigh as little as 2 pounds, not even a kilogram. the "weight" really sets in later in the fight when the combatants are tired and fatigued.

[@rioforce]

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing!

[@Chaizin]

My favorite types of animation are the subtle ones. Where you barely notice them, but they're there. Which makes them really satisfying to look at!

[@JonnDthunDer]

I believe the phrase is to just "git good"

[@Flesh_licking_spider_monkeys]

Git gud m8

[@MaxsLEGOStopMotion]

Amazing tutorial rio! You really put effort and dedication into just a tutorial that will most probably help a lot of beginners or even some experienced animators, you really covered some great points!

[@imjustsomefilmguy]

Thank you so much for making this! I've been animating with LEGO for about 2 years and I still feel like an amateur. I've felt like I'll never get better, but after employing some of these techniques in test animations I've seen a real difference. Please continue to help people like me! 😁✌️

[@I-z-z-a-0]

Ayyy this is very clear and easy to understand unlike a few others I’ve watched. They be like: “youshouldmakelittlemotionswhenyoustartoutthemotionandbiggermotionstgroughouttgenmakelittlermoionstpwardstgeendoftyemovementthatscalledeasinginandeasingout.”

[@ShaunKirkwood]

This is a great tutorial, thank you for sharing it. I. love that you shared some of your earlier animations and compared them to your work now. I'm going to share this with my students at school, I think they'll be really inspired!

[@rioforce]

Thank you! I hope it helps your students!

[@ferdabernstudios1187]

I honestly think this is the best turtorial on stop motion. I can never animate at 15 FPS cause it always looks to fast. When I searched up “how to make smoother animation” I thought most of the stuff would be at 15 FPS but then I came across this and tried some stuff out and realized that 12 FPS is way better.

[@Mr.Z0]

i was looking for days for something that really explained easing in and out every one watched just told me to well... do it but they didn't explain. but you did so thanks bro

[@offimoo9995]

Hey there! I’m quite advanced, but I came here to see if the tutorials are still any good for the new comers. This is quite good AND I found it some ways to step up my game!

[@Rhethm]

This was a great tutorial video! I heard others talk about easing in and out but never fully understood it till this video. You explained everything very well, thank you!

[@octopuses4ever71]

I have been trying to find a good tutorial for smoother animations and this is the best!!!! This video actually explains stuff really well. Great job

[@BlazeArtt]

Wow these were really helpful!! This is definitely what I needed!! When you could be making your own stop motions, you are teaching us how to!! Thanks man, I really appreciate it!!!

[@verticalbricks8833]

0:18 bouta hit em with the 5 seconds per frame

[@lego4virgo]

This was great and much needed by me! I plan to do a sword fight, and want to convey a sense of weight and keeping balance. It appears that my idea for the shots perfectly lines up with what you've mentioned here. Thanks for this! I'll be referring to this video multiple times, I know.

[@thelastelderscroll7638]

these tips are much better than any other video good job

[@lazybuilders4720]

Thanks! This really will help me with my stop motion. I can’t wait to test these techniques out in some of my later videos!

[@TheBrickBro]

Very detailed my man. Honestly helped a bit

[@caleb.s29]

A bit 😂

[@Michael-NZ]

This is brilliant . I’m tired of After Effects even tho it’s very sophisticated in its ease-in-out and curves and just want to do it the old school way!

[@mrminifig7765]

Thanks so much! This looks like it took a lot of work, I think I can speak for everyone here that this is incredible and I appreciate your work a lot

[@legofluent3155]

Thank you so much I’m definitely going to be considering this for my future stop motion films!

[@whenyouarebored]

This is really usefull, a lot better than some of the other tutorials!

[@frontloaderman]

Great tutorial man! Keep up the great work!

[@SuperRamtin]

Even tho I have learned how to make good stop motions and I am kiiiiiiiinda a pro now, I still asked myself how can I improve even more? and I knew some of these tricks but some of them are still helpful and can help me!! :D Nice video! I subbed

[@BricksAndPlay]

I think I need to rewatch this weekly :) Maybe that will help me to remember to have patience with mine.

[@generalbrickproductions3712]

this helped me a lot! I do lego battle animations mainly wwii and there is a lot in this video that helped with it thanks!

[@ETClipzz]

For anyone who cannot understand him (confused) basically what he's saying is get a frame and stick to it and get a tripod,bipod,lego camera thing to film it will make it much smoother and not choppy, making your animations more realistic by using resources and stuff basically slowing then starting then slowing.

[@motionlessimages4644]

Very informing and helpful. I will take your advice for future work. 😄

I have a question, can you make an acr without using rig or clay for support (i tried to remove the clay from the shot but it always looked stupid.)

I have a question How do you make a minifigure jump???

[@SortaSmog]

Ye how

[@Andrew_Drozd]

Nice video, just a question on frame rate I animate at 15 FPS and I was thinking of changing to 12 FPS is that a good idea?

[@rioforce]

Only if you’re comfortable changing. If you like your animation id say stick with it. Lower and higher framerates become increasingly more complex to make not look either choppy or jittery. Old cartoons used 12fps so I think it’s a decent standard, but 15 often gives a little bit extra smoothness from the extra frames that’s lost with 12. In a digital world framerate matters a lot less. It’s about what looks good to you and how you prefer to animate.

[@Andrew_Drozd]

@@rioforce alright thanks!

[@802builds]

Wow you’ve definitely earned a sub

What stands do you use to hold up your figures?

[@boondoggle2016]

Gonnnaaaaaaa keep this guy in a playlist for me…

[@supercalifragilisticex]

What camera do you use because it looks nice?

[@McGuireMotionProductions]

So what I couldn’t find that I tried to look up, was thus. Sometimes when I see stop-motion tutorials, they always slow down the stop-motion, and it always looks like it wouldn’t be as smooth when they slow it down, but when they play the final project, it looks great, is this just speeding up the FPS, or is there something else I need to do? Btw this was a great flipping video, it taught me a lot

[@arlenegarcia8706]

5:53 how did you build one of those I need one for jumps

[@rioforce]

It’s called a Helping Hand, you can get one for cheap on Amazon or at stores like Harbor Freight. They’re made for soldering but work great for animation.

[@arlenegarcia8706]

Thanks but for now I'm just going to use... I don't know what it is. it's kind of like the metal you used to close bread butt bigger and you need pliers to cut it

[@rioforce]

@@arlenegarcia8706 Using what you have is always a great solution!

[@brickmovion]

Класс! Спасибо за ролик! Nice! Thank you for the video!

[@TopCProductions]

Hey awesome video, I just have a question. In the Arcs portion of the video, what did you use to hold the character while it was jumping?

[@rioforce]

That's called a "Helping Hand," it's a tool usually used in soldering or other small crafts. You can find them pretty cheap at Amazon or certain retailers like Harbor Freight.

Hey I have a question about how to film a fight scene. I do I determine how much weight will be behind each punch? And how can I make my angles more dynamic?

[@darthbricksthe2nd83]

For fight scenes, close ups are good. You could also add a first person view.

[@Red-Renegade-Studios]

@@darthbricksthe2nd83 What kind of close ups?

[@darthbricksthe2nd83]

@@Red-Renegade-Studios well, kind of like shots where you can see the characters fighting from really close, and also add some movement maybe

[@jgr14609]

This helped a lot thanks

[@T-Rex_productions]

When I think of the anticipation I think of a bouncy ball. When it hits the floor it’s bounces back up. Then down again then up again but a little less this time and then it repeats until it can’t bounce again. Not the perfect example but it works for me

[@rioforce]

That’s more of a Follow-Through principle than anticipation. It’s got some of the same elements, but anticipation would be “winding up” the arm to throw the bouncy ball (versus just gravity dropping it)

[@T-Rex_productions]

@@rioforce oh yeah I guess your right
