I also agree that a series of portraits hardly is stop motion video, but the general points of the story are correct, think.
I just made the following stop motion video, first a story, then a story board, then I filmed. Technically, esp. lighting and background, room for improvement. The motion of the spiders turned awesome though. Never try stop motion on a thick carpet…
Here it is, enjoy:

sorry, I’ve seen some wonderful stop-motion videos, and this is not one of them. It’s not even stop-motion, just single sots of random people. I played it with the sound off. It should have still told me a story, and really, it didn’t.

I love creating stop motion animations and there is a great piece of software for the Mac that makes it really easy – istopmotion. The only negative is I can’t seem to get it to work live with my Canon 500D. There is a great write up on how to use it’

I am also having this exact same problem with my 500D and need to get it sorted asap. Was wondering if you have figured out how to do it yet? And if so give me some advice on what to do..

Cheers David

Not a terribly good article. I just started doing S.M for my esoteric hobby. I storyboard while I play my hobby , capturing shots etc then bundle it all into the msft or mac movie software. They dont have many special effects but its good enuff for what I need.

Nice post. Making a Stop Motion Video should require lots of pictures. But to make a perfect stop motion video, you should create a storyboard. Adding an audio also contribute to connect the story

This might sound silly but I make stop motionn videos with wrestling action figures. I plan out the marches then bring Thames to life with action figures. It takes alot of patience but is loads of funny. And no, that video is NOT a stop motion!!! Good article though. God bless.
