How did you make this animation? Did you use filmcamera or did you take pictures?

Did you use a lightbox? I want to make something like this with my students (12-16years old)

@Greetenco

We used a digital photo camera and made stills, so it's plain stop motion with 12 fps. We used a homemade light box (table lamp directed upwards + glass supported by two bricks + a layer of flimsy paper on top to soften the light).

As for the software to put the movie together - I think StopMotion Pro is the best solution for this kind of thing, it's simple, quick and you can directly download the pictures from the camera and automatize the expositions.

I hope this was helpful

Billy Mays here.

Have a plot hole that needs fixing? Tired of giving plausible explainations? Well, have I got the plot device for you!

Call today for your very own Deus ex Machina! It'll tie up all of your loose ends, and I'll even throw in two tubes of our very own Mighty Putty! Don't miss out on this great offer!

Why not?

Woah! Awesome my friend!

If I give some interpretation to this it would be that a God is nothing but another Machine created by man and it works and it moves by how it was designed.

(You know, I'm actually in a band named like that 'Deus Ex-Mächina' and we try to develop a full concept with it, and this video kinda fits into what we try to set forth)

Great job, congrats!

@Animel0ser "god from the machine" was actually being used in ancient greek theatres in case the plot including the interference of a god. People were so religious back then and admired with great respect their gods so they couldn't let the" god" -actor- enter the stage from where all the other actors did. So they had the "deus ex machina" that was some kind of a lifter and the "god" came down from the sky !!

Yes, the exact translation of Deus ex machina is god from the machine. But the meaning is different. The phrase deus ex machina is used for sth that was unexpected, like a miracle from god.
