Stop Motion Tutorial: A History Lesson

[@Hewhosurprisinglyis]

Never thought I'd see Otto Von Bismark talking about stop motion animation.

[@wafflefalafel9442]

I want to get into stopmotion but I get tired out just by doing a 4 second traditional animation. Love the style, though, so much dedication! :)

[@BethanyThiele]

Great video! Thank you for creating this. I am an Art Teacher and will be showing my students the basics of stop motion and I will share this history with them!

[@PLASTART-kanal_diletanta]

Michael Parks, you are the best! I am from Russia and I like your videos! Thanks you!

[@JackedNerd93]

I love doing stop motion animations

[@AvelierPlays]

Short and sweet, well done

Me:waiting for Aardman to br mentioned AHEM! *it comes on* Me: :D !!

[@gamingwithevans6614]

That was really great. Thanks Michael Parks

[@l.olivia865]

Waow thank you for your work ! It was amazing, I like how your teacher puppet is made and animated, he has a great style ! Gonna watch all this movies soon, that’s my homework he said.

[@littlelight2884]

Love your work.

[@anitadunham7178]

Their was an old black and White Russian stop motion film called the new Guliver. It's perhaps the first full length stop motion film.

No pingu in this vid :( One of my favourite cartoon shows beside Wallace and Gromit series.

[@larrybstreetfish5852]

My kids and I love Pingu! 👍

[@shameezmathews9010]

I wish I had the materials like you

[@jasterslegacy2607]

Love this!! Great history and great animation!

[@JSW32]

Very nice way of approaching this history lesson! Would you be able to do a tutorial on your approach to animating a blocking pass and then your next pass on 2s, or 1s? Basically how you reference one pass to the next. I’ve been doing blocking pop through passes with poses I like but I definitely have a harder time hitting those appealing poses I set up in my pop through. I tend to keep the previous pop through reference pass in the corner in Dragonframe to refer to. I know some people put theirs full scale with transparency and try to match to it but that is harder and more time consuming for sure- especially when doing subtle stuff. Thanks!

But I love your vid,very inspirational for me to be more courage to make my own stopmotion.

[@puppetbert6136]

Do you think it's possible to eventually make a tutorial on how to make stop motion with live action on your own?

[@MichaelParks]

Could happen. It's fun to do, but I use After Effects for compositing, and I know that not everyone can afford that.

[@rheneastheorangetankengine8727]

​@@MichaelParks here is a one you forgot in 1981 hit entertement diceded to use that technich for there kids shows like postman pat, firenman sam, pingu, bob the builder, rubedabbers, fifi and the flowertots and roary the racing car

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's Little Drummer Boy.

[@therainbowranger84]

You forgot Churchill Films. They help bring Beverly Cleary's Ralph the mouse books & Frog and Toad books by Arnold Lobel to life, with they're style of stop motion.

[@MichaelParks]

Yes, that is kind of a conspicuous omission since I worked on the later ones like Mouse Soup and Morris has a Cold.

Also Micheal. You forgot The Boxtrolls, also a Laika Film Besides Coraline, Missing Link, Kubo Etc.,..

[@greenmanstudios8746]

An awesome history lesson, but I just want to aske if you knew about the Nike takeover of Vinton studios? And for the random comment reader yes, Nike the sport shoe company. And lastly what are your thoughts on the how William Gale Vinton's studio was basically robbed from him?

[@MichaelParks]

I don't know all the details, but that was pretty brutal. Animation can certainly be a rough business, as Disney seems to buy studios and then close them, like Imagemovers Digital, Lucas Arts, and Blue Sky.

[@Discoverwithkate]

Hey your very good at this and the bugs stop motion are real bugs ?

[@MichaelParks]

Those are real bugs (or so they say). I'm guessing parts of the bug were reproduced in another material, and armatures were added.

[@Zain_production]

can you make s dinosaur attack animation i need to that on my animation

[@zdproductions3903]

I want to make a film where I have live actors interact with my stop motion characters

[@HeyCC-]

太棒了，👍

[@rajatsisodiya416]

can we use polymer clay in puppet making and after baking polymer clay can we animate hands or legs is easy to rig it after baking polymer clay or we can rig without baking is it possible that model is not destroy

[@rajatsisodiya416]

please help me out sir

[@MichaelParks]

I used polymer clay (sculpy) on the head of the guy in this video, not not for anything else on the character. Hands need to be flexible. I don't think you could rig a puppet if it's baked hard. I have a tutorial on armature-making that gets into the process I use.

[@rajatsisodiya416]

@@MichaelParks thank u sir for your valuable suggestion

[@PastramiMan]

Kinda like Brian dump

[@ice-td7qe]

Yup i forgot old king kong

[@RiverRooney]

Hey do you still make videos?

[@MichaelParks]

Sometimes. I make a lot for my job teaching animation, so I don't do as much for youTube, but I just posted one on set-making.

[@RiverRooney]

Michael Parks loved that one. Helped a lot

[@viajandosinespada]

Woooooow😱👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Micheal. Companies beside Aardman, Laika, Other Companies, Etc., Companies like Hit Entertainment, Cosgrove Hall, Other Companies, Etc. Made other Stop Motion Animation Shows in the UK: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaSqgpykqbppb8k

[@astrovisiontv]

LAIKA did not produce Corpse Bride, also Bob Gardiner animated most if not all of Closed Mondays. Both facts I'm sure you know but stuff happens when making videos,
