So I try to wear black or dark things, but half the time I just angle myself so that im not in front of my set when i take a frame.]]></content>

Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town.

In all seriousness I turn off all lights in my environment that are not needed for my shot. This way there is no light to reflect on my clothing so I can wear whatever.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I always where black while I'm animating. While I'm aware that some slightly lighter colors won't affect my film, I usually choose not to risk it. Besides, I've managed to score some pretty comfortable shirts, so I don't mind.

I used to use the technique where I would duck down under the table when I was taking each shot, but I found that, with the quality of my camera, there wasn't a very noticeable difference in light flickering. Would this be the same if I used a DSLR which captures more detail in each shot as opposed to a webcam? Not sure.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I usually duck down under a table so whatever clothes I wear usually aren't relevant unless I make a mistake.
If I'm animating all week though I can't really wear dark clothes all the time because I only have a few black shirts.

It probably would be better to wear black though just in case you hadn't ducked properly.
I sometimes think that it would be nice if I had dark brown skin so my skin wouldn't reflect either.
In times where I didn't duck, my skin has been a problem.]]></content>

This. I don't see the point in getting changed to do an hour or even half an hour's worth of stop-motion, only to then get changed again. I also don't own that many black clothes, and my only black t-shirt is a Teefury Ghostbusters one.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I always where black. It makes even more of a difference with LEGO than other stop motion puppets and sets because the stuff is so darn reflective. Even if you can't see yourself in it, I guarantee it's bouncing light all over the place. I've also pondered the long sleeve shirt, but I usually get so hot animating as is I'm not sure it's worth it. Summer in Southern California isn't exactly cold...]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=Mickey] popular animator, Garrett Barati, claims that all stop-motion artists wear dark clothes when animating. If I could find the video clip, I would post a link, but apparently, it's strictly available for the DVD only.

I know this isn't true, because I animate with whatever I have on. If I'm wearing a coloured T-shirt or coloured pants, I simply don't throw on a black jacket just to get good lighting. And I've seen videos of other people animating without wearing dark clothing. [/quote]
I think what he meant was was all people who do stop motion animation for a living wear dark clothes.
[quote=Mickey] What about you guys? What types of clothing do you guys wear? Dark or light?[/quote]
I used to wear a black hooded sweatshirt but I found it too hot when sitting next to four desk lamps in a closed room and it got in the way of my hands so now I wear a black shirt .]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I don't wear a black shirt. Where I live, it's near impossible to wear that dark of a color because of the 100 degree weather. When I have a set that I notice is extremely reflective (like a black brick background or dark gray), I put a black piece of paper with a hole in it for my camera on the edge of my table to cover me up. It works very well, because I sit behind the paper, and it keeps the reflection down. Sort of like what [url=http://youtu.be/avx0lGSVn5M?t=1m51s]Michael Hickox uses in is videos[/url], except I put it around my cammera instead of behind sue to the layout of my room and desk, and where I sit. It makes it kind of hard to animate at times, though, because I have to reach over the paper.

As for long sleeves and gloves, Paganomation's crew don't wear long sleeves or gloves, or even have back paper. But they do wear all black. [url]https://www.flickr.com/photos/paganomation/4421180766/[/url]]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Black isn't necessary, but darker colors do help reduce any bouncing light. 
I've experienced this personally while wearing a bright yellow shirt, but have done just fine with various blues and things. So avoid white and really bright stuff if you can and all should go well.

I've never gone with gloves or a long-sleeve shirt, and normally just film in a dark-ish t-shirt and jeans with no problem.
But what you need may depend on your studio and lighting set-up, as well as your willingness to burn to a crisp.

Though, animating in an all-black ninja outfit does have it's cool side. :cool:]]></content>
