Stop Motion - 12fps vs 24fps

Probably not the best example, but an example nonetheless of the visual differences between animating at 12 and 24 frames per second. Red dude moves at 12fps, white dude moves at 24fps.

Not hugely noticable difference is 10fps ok?

You can do whatever frame rate you want if the program you use to animate it allows you to. It's a question of quality and how much effort you're willing to put into it. Personally I think 10fps might be a little too choppy for my own tastes. 2fps doesn't sound like much of a difference but consider film at 24fps versus video at 30fps - the difference is massive, and that's just a 6fps difference.

i like to use 12 fps for flash because i dont know much about double framing. i dont know anything about stop motion.

Well the purpose of changing your framerates in stop animation is because regardless of how many/few frames you devote to an action, it will (at least when we were still working with film) always be played at 24fps thus making it "faster" or "slower." In flash the idea of double-framing is meaningless because it's a completely different method of animating than stopmotion.

ah shit! I serioesly thought there would be a much bigger differense...... I'm working att 24 fps when i'm making movies. but now I know that I can easely shoot in doubles sometimes without any lag :)

thank you for this video :)

The difference is still noticeable and discernable, it just comes down to how you want it to look. Then ask yourself; in this day and age, why would you do stop-motion if you didn't want it to look stop-animated? 12fps all the way :-)

if you ran some kind of motion blur effect on this would that increase the fluidity to it?? Also if your scene was darker wouldn't that make it seam less choppy... I read an article talking about how much light and blurriness will effect the smoothness of video...

Thanks a lot for posting this :) There's a massive difference in the look of 12 vs 24. Bot24 is way superior; extra crisp - the extra work is worth it. I'm working in Flash so tweening helps, but there's still plenty of single frame stuff. Your movie helped me decide which way to go with a project I'm onto.

LOL THIS IS FUNNY

[FURONMAST3R]

I use 15 fps

[mionicle]

24 is the normal animation fps

24 fps is smoother and more fluid, but u have to really commit if you want to use 24 fps. u have to make the movements really tiny if you want it not super fast. I would do 12 fps as a beginner and work up to 24 fps.
