Uhhh...Why not just film in front of a blue/green screen with a blue/green stand? I am just curious cause thats what I am gonna do with a few of my stopmotions.

I shot this BEFORE I had software with greenscreen capabilities. I was experimenting with ways to edit out the rigging (stands) and add backgrounds. After doing both greenscreen keying and frame-by-frame editing, I think I get better results by going frame-by-frame. Keying is easier, but editing the individual frames gives me a cleaner look. (just my personal preference)

What program/s do you use? I've got StopMotionPro

[huttwigley]

Currently, I use PhotoShop, Flash, After Effects and Windows Movie Maker at various times throughout the production process. If I had Stop-Motion Pro and an SLR camera with Tru View, my work would be at a WHOLE new level!

great! Thanks for revealing it. What figure did you use for it? Haven´t seen this before

[huttwigley]

Thanks. It's a Hasbro Buzz Aldrin uniform on a custom 12" figure body with a Mace Windu headsculpt.

Just an amusing observation.

Your astronaut would be several hundred miles tall, considering that the lunar photo you used was taken from orbit not from the surface.

Great info !!

Thanks. Another noob-question. Has there been a Buzz Aldrin figure or are uniforms and equipment sold seperately?
