Stop Motion

I've been making stop motion since a camcorder with a single-frame setting: pool balls, clay on wire armatures. Now it's printed parts that assemble themselves on camera.

In progress
Chain links assembling into the jig, one frame at a time

Current sequences

  • Chain links stepping into the riveting jig one at a time
  • The parts of one walker leg marching from a flat layout into assembly order

The software

I shoot with stop-motion software I wrote myself. It will be free to download once it's cleaned up. Add a screenshot

The setup

A phone on a tripod over a light box or the plywood board on my desk, a remote shutter, and an app that stops the phone from sleeping and losing its zoom between frames.
