Stop-motion animation tips

Stop-motion animation tips and tricks

I was searching through the internet for a video about stop-motion animation tips and tricks and here's a neat one that I stumbled upon that I think is useful. Take a look at it. The video is about animating facial features with a character in stop-motion animation.

 

This tutorial is about how to animate facial features with a character in stop-motion animation. I feel that this is a useful video, because without proper facial expressions in a character, a story cannot be told properly in stop-motion animation. I feel that without a decent understandable story, animation is just pictures with words attached to them. This video also helps stop-motion animation rookies with developing their characters and properly preparing their characters to be used in the spotlight.

 I also found a few short tutorial videos on the whole process of stop-motion animation. Here's the videos in order.
