Er, um, I mean hi. 
It's been quite awhile since I've done any stopmotion (two years? something like that), so I decided to do a short animation test as a sort of warm-up.

The main reason I'm sharing this is to show a little trick for a really sturdy floating support rig. You could actually probably find a better substitue for the gorillapod, again because it is a tad large, but if nothing else it "works out of the box" given it's magnetic and you have a small nail. Pretty sure [url=http://www.amazon.com/Joby-GPM-A1EN-GorillaPod-Magnetic-Flexible/dp/B0038YWLCA]this is the gorillapod I used[/url].

This was my first time also using a new camera, the Canon 60D. I truly don't know why I still had changing exposure in some places, but that's something to work out (ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and white-balance were all explicitly set, what else could there be? hmm). I also found that many times the shutter of the camera itself would blur the shot, though about 75% it would stay crisp, but led to some "bumping". I guess it's time to take out the leather strap on it..

Hope the rig idea helps someone!]]></content>
