What Kind of camera do u use

[stopmotionmagazine]

@KennyKABOOM1 It depends on the shoot. At studios I use whatever they have. At the magazines studio we use Lumix DMC FZ50 and a Canon Rebel XS. Both are great cameras. For green screen shots though I personally use the FZ50 more since theres no flicker at all from the camera. The Canon can have some flicker if not set right.

I notice that you have three cables connected to your camera, why exactly do you need three and what are they for? thanks.

@Brickyfilms One is for Power to the Camera, the other is for the video feed to the computer, and the third one is for a shutter control (trigger) so I don't touch the camera while animating and this prevents any shacky movements when playing the animation back.
