Test

Youtube

It's been a while since I posted my two videos (not here). I had no plans in making more, but I have tests in order to see if it is useful for my upcoming stop-motions. This one is one of them.

Re: Test

The animation isn't bad, but the lighting and auto-focus are a bit harsh. This is most likely due to the fact that you just used a phone app, so it's not that hard of a fix. Some of your other videos have pretty decent lighting though. Keep practicing!

Re: Test

Since this is a test video, it probably belongs in the WIPs and Tests forum.

As for the video itself, it needs some work. Your animation (which I suppose was the main point you made the test, because the video didn't have a story) was jerky. Taking more frames for each action would help smooth it out. As for the lighting, I suggest you get better lamps and not use the built-in flash. Also, if you can, turn off auto focus on the phone and use manual. mini/wink

Keep on practicing!

Thanks. My lamp actually has broke down and my iPhone's light is used in my stop-motion app. And yes, my 3 videos are a practice. mini/wink

@ "Since this is a test video, it probably belongs in the WIPs and Tests forum." So that's where I shall put my test?

My apologies for bad animation (my iPhone's battery was almost out of power). The Lego Movie Maker App, however, gives the frame rate number 10 as the limit. I will probably use a better camera someday. Thanks for the tips. mini/wink
