3 Tips to Improve Your Stop Motion Lighting

[@allyoukneadisbread7908]

Always answering my questions before I even ask! So informative!! :)

[@cassandra_lord]

I've been hoping you would do some tutorials on video! I would've liked to see a bit more about the process of setting up and shooting rather than such a strong focus on lighting, but hopefully there will be more to come!

[@sherylramos6417]

Heyy i watch your videos everyday and last week i got an A+ on photography subject, thank you so much!:))

[@TheBiteShot]

Congrats!!!

[@valereategui]

I love your videos! I will definetely try the stop motion. I love it! Thanks for the amazing tips

[@TheBiteShot]

Glad you like them!

[@plantbasedkitchen]

Great info, Joanie! I love your stop motion videos!

[@alienwisconsin]

Thanks for the wonderful video and advice.

[@tlderose]

Great video Joanie! This is my first time here. I am pursuing my 2nd Masters' this time in Interactive Media at Quinnipiac University. Our Motion Across Media has us creating a 30-60 sec stop motion. I was originally going to do a Claymation, similar to Gumby and Pokey. However, given only a week to complete the project, I opted to use action figures for my project. I'm excited to do stop motion. I was glad to hear you recommend DragonFrame as it appears to be the preferred software in professional stop motion. I love the features such as onion skinning and the increment editor! As for the light I have dual Neewer LED lighting (NL660). I would love to share my project with you once done to get a professional opinion (besides my professors... :) ). Glad to be a new subscriber. Have a great week!

WHAT WOULD BE A STANDARD VOCABULARY FOR STORY BOARD EVENTS ?

[@katyaozler8059]

Thaank you!! As usually super helpful and clear 🙏🏻 What about the focus? Do you keep it manual or?

[@Ntiyisomkhabela]

Thanks a lot. 👏🏽 this real takes the worry and allow us as photographers to use our images to make videos

[@JurgenVRr]

Excellent video, thx! One new subscriber ✨

[@caravanlifenz]

I love stop motion. It's so cute.

[@Spaulding57]

This needs to go viral

[@denialhakimi3609]

Thank you for this tutorial

[@johnhughes3492]

Been thinking about trying this. Gonna have to give it a shot!

[@TheBiteShot]

Awesome! I learn something new every time I do one and they're so so much fun. Take care!

[@abcdef-kx2qt]

HELLO, WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS OF THE TRIAL VERSION OF THIS DRAGON FRAME ? TIME LIMIT ? FILES SIZE ? WATER MARK ? IF I TAKE IT OUT CAN I PUT IT BACK IN LATTER WITH OUT ISSUE ?

[@ubaidaalvi5621]

Love it ❤️ you made the entire process look so easy!!!

[@funsuphotography8213]

Thank you Joanie! This one and the hotdog stop motion video are so fun! What f stop do you like to shoot these stop motion videos in? Thank you! :)

[@TheBiteShot]

This s'mores one should have been a higher f-number as the grahams are in a bit of soft focus. I believe it was at f6.3. The hot dog one I recently shot that's on my IG is at f11 which is much better for ensuring more depth.

[@funsuphotography8213]

@@TheBiteShot Thank you so much! I shot a stop motion today and will tag you when I post it. Was inspired by your dancing elements 😊

[@Q80splendor]

hi , how can you export the photo to any edit soaftware as photoshop or literoom

[@SinginSquid12]

Wow b roll on point! Amazing advice as always Joanie ❤️

[@TheBiteShot]

Thank you! Was glad to have some help in the studio for filming this time. Happy Wednesday!

[@JetSetFork]

HI Joanie- Thank you for this video! I'd love to learn more about Dragonframe from you. I don't see a link for your overhead camera setup in the description box, can you please share ?

[@TheBiteShot]

Ah yep! Forgot to add it. Here ya go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHSyda2BebihZqc

[@supriyagupta7619]

Please suggest an economical alternative to using the Aputure light

[@TheBiteShot]

Godox makes some great lights.

[@arcecreative]

Do I need to buy the dragonframe keyboard in order to use the free version? 🙄🤔

[@compiler9448]

Very cool

[@irisking587]

You saved a lot of people (including me) a lot of tears with these golden tips!!!! I’m about to attempt it and being the clutz that I am, I’ll have to go super slow, especially since my “C stand” is a mic stand 😆😆😆 thank you for this!!!

[@lizakamal3874]

Thank you for this vid, it is so informative. I have one question: when it comes to the focus, should I lock it to a specific item (the hero one) or put the focus on the moved items?

[@TheBiteShot]

In general I lock to the hero

[@Laura-dolphinfan]

Joanie, so where can we post pictures if not on Instagram ?? i can't believe they are doing this ,

[@Q80splendor]

what the defferance between 1x and 2x

[@SzimonettaHerold]

This video just come at the right time! I already shot one stop motion video before, I think I made all the mistakes that I possibly could. :D The outcome was okay at that time, but now with all these useful tips, I think the next one will be amazing! :) Thanks for your tips and all the hard work you put into these videos! Love Sissi

[@ms.amelia5416]

Joanie I have a question: Have you ever worked with Panasonic Lumix DSLR camera? Can you create the same shots with a Panasonic Lumix as you can with a Canon?

[@TheBiteShot]

I haven't worked with Panasonic specifically but you should be able to do the same kind of work with any DSLR or mirrorless. As far as using Dragonframe, they have a listing of compatible cameras if you're interested in using that software: www.dragonframe.com/camera-support/

[@ms.amelia5416]

@@TheBiteShot Thank you so much. Yes, I am very interested. I will look at the info right now. Thank you so much.

[@ms.amelia5416]

@@hollywaterfall5613 oh good news thank you. Do you find it fairly easy to work with Lumix?

[@mya.phoenix]

Is there another way to shot all the pictures without the keyboard ⌨️? Can I use my phone to shot or are there any trouble with it? Thank you!

[@TheBiteShot]

I'm sure there's lots of different ways. Just depends on the software and hardware you're using for capture.

[@ocgirltw]

Hi, how do you price the client for these short stop motion video? Like 3x , 5x what you would charge for a photo ?

[@arcecreative]

I have the same question

[@TheBiteShot]

I price per commercial photography standards depending on the scope of the project, charging for my time, production, expenses, and licensing. It all depends on the project, the client and the way they'll use the work.

[@bikecommuter24]

Chocolate, Graham Crackers and Marshmallows and this is my protein shake day😆 Nice tips yes video clips are a thing, you showed me something I don't have any videos in my resume-portfolio LOL I need to make a portfolio and put it on my tablet like I used to.

[@TheBiteShot]

Yep, I'm trying to add at least 2 clips a week for the time being so I can have a more full gallery. Always something :)

[@abhinavsinha5105]

what lens is that?

[@TheBiteShot]

My go-to for overhead shots: 24-70mm f2.8. It's my workhorse.

[@amakaa2393]

The impatient side of me has one big question- how long does a stop motion like the hot dog one take, from first frame set-up to last frame? (so not including post editing or pre-sketch)

[@TheBiteShot]

The hot dog one was around 90 minutes of active shooting time. It was around 200 individual frames.

[@MechelleLeeBrooks]

I wanted to see actually step by step 🥲

[@RecipeswithBen]

Color me ignorant but for this type of stop motion video, why wouldnt you just record all of the movements in a video and cut out the section where you are in the frame instead of taking hundreds of individual photos?

[@NuhaAlshubili]

Can I start from zero I have no skills in video editing or filming

[@TheBiteShot]

I did!

[@neurotica000]

Ok drew Barrymore ❤️

[@cmoore7723]

I appreciate that you have to pay the bills. You need to support your sponsors (Skill Share). I get that. I do. But... you spend too much time pushing them. I don't watch your channel to be bludgeoned with a pitch for a product or service that I neither want or need. Just touch on it. Mention them and tell your audience that contact information/links will be/are available in the "comments" section below. That's it. Period. Enough said.

[@TheBiteShot]

Thanks for the feedback Christopher. Always appreciate the input. Cheers!

[@saltandserenity]

Oh Joanie. You are so kind diplomatic! Enough said.
