I tried filming myself speaking the lines back in the '80's with super 8 film, and it worked. It's also a good way to study real mouth movement. Keep in mind, though, that it is unlikely that the reference will be in perfect sync with prerecorded audio (unless you are recording the voiceover along with the reference), so following that frame by frame may not be in sinc.
I use the prosumer camcorders I use for my freelance video business, a Canon XL2 or GL2. A DSLR would be better if you got the money. The economical route would be a camcorder with a firewire output. But make sure it has full manual override, as autofocus and even auto white balance will change for every frame.
hi there i was wondering if u could of gave me advice, on what type of camera should i used for Clay Animation ? n wat kind did u use for your animated clip
The character who stands and is used in the tutorial is 16" tall, which is needlessly tall but is my best-built armature. It was once used as "The Man in the Yellow Hat" in an adaptation of Curious George, and so had to look tall next to the monkey. The sitting guy is 8" tall, which is a good height for a stop motion puppet.
The puppet has a steel ball and socket armature, and the set was made up of wooden props and plastic plants purchased at a craft store. A lot of the materials for stop motion can be found at places like Michael's.
great yaar !

This was a great tutorial, very well explained and answered a lot of doubts that I had about lipsync and stop motion in general.
Thank you for this tutorial.
