			<description><![CDATA[Do you have Dragonframe? It's going to be really hard to pull focus without being able to see a large live feed from your camera. One issue with non-macro modern lenses is they don't have much throw when focusing which makes it hard to smoothly pull focus, the Nikor 55mm macro has a lot of throw which makes it easier to manually pull focus at the scale we work at. I also try to plan out focas pulls and use white tape to mark where on the lens I need to pull to. You can see an example of that.

But if your trying to do it without a live view, uh good luck, expect it to be unnecessarily difficult to do it well. You might try using your cameras HDMI out to get a larger view on a TV if you don't have Dragonframe, but at that point I feel like you'd be better off with a C920 webcamera and a free framegrabber.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hello all, I recently got my first proper DSLR (a Canon T6S) and I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to use this camera in regards to stop-motion animation. My main issue is that I have no clue how to smoothly keep my minifigure in focus while it walks toward the camera and I'm not sure if my lenses (18-55mm and 55-250mm) work well enough on their own. Should I go ahead and buy an F adapter and the 55mm Micro-Nikkor lens recommended [url=http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/topic/20962/the-best-lenses-for-your-dslr/] here[/url] or continue to use my current lenses? 

Ultimately, I believe my problem is that I don't understand enough about my current equipment and need some sort of instruction on how to use a DSLR for stop-motion, thanks.
