[ultislasher1]

[nutnag1]

what lead do you use from your camera to your computer?

[Legotian]

i need help i tries moving my minifig really slowly and tryig it fast but when i put it in 15 fps it looks choppy so i keep having to use 25 fps and thats really hard to use btw i use monkey jam could anyone hhelp?

[THeCrAzYJoKeR24]

@Legotian what I would do is go to windows movie maker and import the running pictures JUST the running pictures highlight all of them and drag them into the timeline after that highlight the pictures in the timeline and left click and you should see effects click that then go all the way down and there should be an effect called speed up double click that then click add and it will appear in the box to your left and save that after that save the entire file then import it to a free edit softwar

[Legotian]

@THeCrAzYJoKeR24 thnx!

[MegaComputerful]

i made my frist lego movie, and i put in youtube, but is dont great the grafics aren't good

[Smithy082]

Thanks

[rapolast]

lol! if you can, turn that "CC" button for translate to english and read.

[Narza85]

15frames per secons? More like frames per minute.

[happyoldMEN]

I love this guy he sounds like a BEATLE!

[Ozzmaster2112]

Ah!

Can you re-upload this but with a louder voice? I can't understand what you're saying. =\

[tinkred9]

i like your tutorial, i think 15 FPS is good for beginners, my friend is a beginner at stopmotion and he says 15 FPS is really fast, he only goes 9 FPS

[MetroArtyom2033]

but theres something i wanna know how do you put it in 15 fps? (if anyone seen my lego projectss you'lle notice their slow.) so yeah how do i play my vid in 15 fps?

[Rsteenoven]

@MetroArtyom2033 What software are you using? You can use monkeyjam to set the fps, but if you're editing your pictures on WMM, you won't be able to get 15fps.

[cinemalego]

@Rsteenoven WHAT?! Of course you can make 15 FPS on windows movie maker, but not if you have Windows XP

[MrAwesomesauce101]

@Rsteenoven how do you do fps in sony vegas?

[captaincc7567]

@Rsteenoven but on WMMLive you can.

[foxboy8276]

@Rsteenoven i am making my videos on windows live movie maker and it is sooooooo slow i want it perfect can you plz help me??

[BLASTSTUDIOS101]

@foxboy8276 select all of the pics then hit edit on the top bar and then set it to o.10 that is basic animation but it is awsome

[LegoWorldCrisis]

@Rsteenoven thats not true. windows movie maker has a setting that allows 16fps. i use it.

[sumkid101]

@Rsteenoven WMM has 15fps. just set the pic duration to 0.125

[leo98films]

@sumkid101 That's 13 fps. You just take a picture and slow it down to you reach 15 fps.

[sumkid101]

@leo98films if you crossfade, its 15 fps. plus, fading is amazing looking. but i switched to dragon since i made this comment, which allows automatic fading :P

[AFLegoMaster]

@Rsteenoven Yes you can, you go to edit and it says Duration: and you type in 0.15

[TheLafeman]

@MetroArtyom2033 yeah wich system could we use because i'm using WMM and it is'nt very good working at my vids

[TheJayortiz]

@MetroArtyom2033 15 fps is 15 frames per seconds 30 seconds is the smoothest but hardest to make 15 fps is good for timing and time

[legoScenes]

@MetroArtyom2033 try sony vegas pro than you can even go to 100fps

[OghamTheBold]

Darn - I was watching this and I missed the Mormons knocking on the door

Can you pre-prepare the same figure in all of the poses for walkies - and simply swap

Maybe introduce a bit of randomness if that is good - or green screen the poses

[Mr5inahive]

no you idiot you cant pause then move the lego guy you haft to have a camera

[Xtirpater]

Thanks for helping me dude! I can now make better Brickfilms! You just made the release time for my first Lego animation video (Lego Bloopers #1) come even sooner! (Sorry if I used bad grammar.) Thanks alot!

[WiiPwnerz]

I don't really get the whole frames per second thing can someone explain that to me? Thx!

[mcrdude08]

THANK YOU !!

Im keep trying to make Lego films and im working on a chase scene where they got to run :)

[TheXVegeance]

i can make a vid on how to teach you how to make a stop motion movie

[estivenrex18]

this is all about pictures,photos???

not video?

man that will be a loooot of photos and space

[legorayquaza84]

thank you it was very useful

[TheLegoproductionz1]

thanks this helped alot :D

[smoshfan10]

@rsteenoven and 123Abbrielle: If you record 1 big video, then cut out the frames you want, you can pull off a good video.

[shadowplayer3]

Panasonic SDR-S7

[123Abbrielle]

Can I record pause,record pause,record pause??

[Rsteenoven]

@123Abbrielle You could, but it wouldnt look great.

[vidz2010rs]

@Rsteenoven i record pause record puase and it works fine for me

[123Abbrielle]

Yah! thats why i don't like doing that

[SKIFI48]

@123Abbrielle that's what we did in our first two videos. If you need an example just look at how it turns out.. uhh not so great...

[BijanColbie]

@123Abbrielle hey look i dont to picture i record im going to put up my little movie i made with legos its sick and i filmed it so u can see how you like it?

[lufc1235]

@123Abbrielle i do

[TheJayortiz]

@123Abbrielle u could but using photos in the photo camera is better

[202legoman]

@123Abbrielle actully it's take a picture then take another one, it goes on & on

[USMCKidProductions1]

what a good FPS for a animation?

[Rsteenoven]

@USMCKidProductions1 15..... read the title

[EricNielsenTV98]

@Rsteenoven 5fps is the worst 15fps is medium good and 30fps is the best but takes a shit load of time

[Unknown8186]

@EricNielsenTV98 24fps is the best 24 fps is what directors use in stop motion movies

[Bugzy0529]

charltonfirewood@live.com if you zome rite though it looks cool !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kimmyungshik]

@USMCKidProductions1 OR 8FPS

[texlyon]

@USMCKidProductions1 24

[gingerface656]

[lucasprieto123cheese]

[beeshna]

awesome but i cant hear you talk

[zegarek1000]

Coooooooooooooool xD

[legoshack98]

you should have showed the finished product in fast motion at the end

[Duckpasties]

Is someone watching Being Human in the background? :P

[warhawk4431]

I use a Nikon D70. I know it's for portraits and all that stuff and it's not recommended for stop motions but can someone maybe suggest a camera that's good for stop motions and is cheap?

[Rsteenoven]

@warhawk4431 Quickcam Pro 9000, and some canon powershots are good mate.

[warhawk4431]

Say thanks for replying. IF ( I'm adding emphasis on the IF) I get any of those, I'll make sure to thank you if I make a video with it. :)

[cubeproduktion]

@Rsteenoven logitech webcams are kind of better like quickcam pro 9000

[kindasport]

you can use any camera for this stop motion

[Kidflash255]

@warhawk4431 samsung sl30

[MrMuffin10000]

hey cool i have a cannon powershot

[WeRock199]

What is a good camera to take pictures of lego with?

(I mean one that you DONT have to hook up to a laptop)

[Rsteenoven]

CANON powershots are good.

[WeRock199]

Thats the one I use! But the thing is it wont focus unless the figure is ON the focus square.

How can I expand that? Or can I at ALL?

[cheeptorque]

@WeRock199... i use a sony ixus70

[ticotacoguy]

@WeRock199 depends on your budget

[deadflyer54]

@WeRock199 any canon powershot

[jackriderreports]

Can I use Mac's iMovie to put it together?

[Somethingcrappy]

I used 8 fps but now i use 15 or 20.

[Legometallica09]

i have 20 fps ;P

[zachandabe2]

do you use a video camera?

[Rsteenoven]

@zachandabe2 nope a webcam, qcp9k

[GIJOEmaster55]

i use 10 fps

[TheMikey95]

ok thx, for your help

[TheMikey95]

um the stopmotion software for the frames

[Rsteenoven]

@TheMikey95 Monkeyjam will work on vista I think. Right click the shortcut to it and somewhere in there you can set it to vista.

[Rsteenoven]

@TheMikey95 right click > properties

[TheMikey95]

before any of you ask questions and wates time you cannot find a good free software that works on windows vista. if you can prove me wrong. that would be awsome. just post on my channel

[Rsteenoven]

@TheMikey95 What sort of software? Frame capture? editing?

[becket78]

i need a better webcam mine sucks

[garrysmod34]

what is the program for a movie maker for hp laptop?

[iGotLegos]

Try using Monkeyjam, or if you don't have a webcam, use Windows Movie Maker.

[MrSmoothvideos]

Very good!

[delta40fixer8]

this really helped making a movie a bit easier

[rootbear32]

i got the logitech quickcam pro 9000 today it was hhmm maybe 50 or 100$ its worth it i think its a hudred but u can check on best buy just case

[MiniMatt78]

what camrea do you use? i got a logitech one

[Rsteenoven]

Quickcam pro 9000

[MiniMatt78]

how much does it cost?

[Rsteenoven]

I got mine for about £50

[5secondsofComedy]

How long is the speed transition of 15FPS on Winows Movie Maker? I want to be sure the speed rate I'm going is 15FPS. =)

[legomaster1378]

You can use 16fps on WMM but I do not think you can do 15fps.

[legosmartboy70]

double the frame rate.

[darkrie7]

thanks this helped alot

[elbuho1]

So someone asked you if you could make a step-by-step guide, eh?

[Rsteenoven]

Probably

[toonyfatninjas]

gosh 2 fucking hours for just 10sec just 1 min of this can feel like forever i,m going to try this just onces just to see. i make 1min short animation. if not i will be back to drawing and animating in 2d using flash. what kind of legos you buy and where you get it at. do you get them at an art store or some toy store. do you only animate with lego or do you do other stuff like clay or animature.

[Rsteenoven]

I'm starting to move into making flash animations, and I've tried some clay yeah.

[toonyfatninjas]

how long or days those it take to make about 1min animation. in your part

[Rsteenoven]

Last night I animated 10 seconds in 2 hours. Therefore a minute would be about 10 hours at least.

[Rsteenoven]

Yeah I agree.

[JaylinsARTSFilms]

what were u wacthing in the backround

[Rsteenoven]

I can't remember :p

[JaylinsARTSFilms]

lol

[longdude9]

wow that was awesome!!!!! do u know how u put them in the air like?

[Rsteenoven]

I made another tutorial on masking, so check that out if you want to make things fly.

[Proliator4]

wow your animations are amazing but you dont have many views. its stupid

[Rsteenoven]

Thank you :D that is very nice

[blingblongstudios]

great tutorial...could you make one for fight moves?

[Rsteenoven]

I'll see what I can do.

[blingblongstudios]

[Zoot101]

Not for Brickhelp, then?

[halofa345]

thx you!
