My camera is unable to do manual exposure. And I can't afford one that does right now. Does anyone know how I can make flicker free films, without having to buy a new camera?
What camera do you have? Also, what do you already do to prevent light flicker? (wear black, no natural light, etc.)

I use a Canon zr200 camcorder. It has every setting needed for stop motion, except manual exposure. I wear black when I animate, and I try to animate at night.
Make a creepy old fashion horror film with either muted colours, or in black and white.
You'll still have flicker, yes, but it will actually feel more fitting.
There is no good way to fix this. It is really the reason so many people have flicker, not because of light change and clothing colour, but because of automatic settings. Really, you can do nothing. Just ignore the flicker. It may make your film worse technically, but that shouldn't stop you from making enjoyable brickfilms.

Ok, thanks! I understand what your saying.
