Nice!
The voice acting and idea was great! Amazing job! You may want to work on your animation a little, but other than that, great video!
It looks like you did an amazing job, you may want to speed up your fps though (frames per second) the arms moved a little slow, but other than that, it was awesome

I wouldn't suggest this. It just seemed that you needed to ease in and out more. There were also some set bumps here and there.
Otherwise, it was a great and fun Father's Day film! Good quality, too. Nice job!
Thank you for all of the replies! The slow movement was actually because I miscalculated the number of frames I needed to each clip and when I took too many frames, the audio was too short. I was going to fix it, but I ran out of time. I'm working on getting those bumps smoothed out. They are not actually set bumps, but camera bumps (well, sometimes the table moves a bit too...). My tripod is un-stable, unfortunately... Thanks for watching!
One way I think you could possibly stop the camera bumps is by setting a timer on your camera. That way, your finger won't be moving the camera that you take a picture. I would have a timer for about two seconds.

Many times I have "over produced" on the frame count. Something that should be on screen for 1 second (15 frames) but I've taken 27 frames (for example) to cross the screen. The simple thing to do is to simply erase/hide/delete every second frame so your motion "speeds up".
This doesn't always work as you might then leave yourself too short - or there is other motion going on that can't afford to have frames stripped from. None-the-less, sometimes removing every second shot providers a better finish even if it does end up shorter than expected. For example - if you remove some frames from the middle of the motion (not the start or end) then you can build an ease-in/ease-out look. Horses for courses - hope that helps.
@Wammy I use a tethering software, so I don't touch the camera usually. Sometimes when I have to zoom in or change focus it moves the camera though. And especially when I need to rotate the camera, it moves a lot. I'm looking into getting a better tri-pod or building some sort of camera slider with rotation.
@togfox Thanks for the tips, I usually speed up my framerate, but your method is good too.
That's how Big Brother gets information from you.
Uhh Ozone this is a 5 year old thread...
