it always really strikes me how similar this is to 3d animation.
I wish we got the flowers that every other animation medium has when we're kinda out here doing the same thing.
I know it isn't exactly the same but 3d animation is far closer to stopmo than 2d, and yet it's always dismissed

Fucking hell. Stop motion animators really are wizards.

it's hard to romanticize 3d animation like they romanticize 2d where it's this old grey guy sitting at a desk covered in drawings of beloved characters and toys and warm lighting, or stopmo where it's like "see, the tree is popcorn! it's like we're IN the set with all this lighting!"

Started animating.... Got 1888 frames to animate ie let's say 1min + at 24f .... I always start animation at 24f then step down the frames using stopmo to 8f on everything except the camera.... Will keep y'all updated within the week on the progress.... #blender #3danimation #noai #claymation

Nobody cares about how much hard work it takes us to master out craft. And yes, a lot of stopmo is pre animated and timed out 😒🤷

and like. to what end, exactly? it just makes it look even more like CG but for triple the cost and human labor
paranorman is still the best mix they ever done, cleaner that coraline but the strengths of stopmo are still present. and imo it remains as one of the most visually distinct films ever

I wouldn't shit on 3D animation. You're not wrong in the model construction and details there. But making stopmo "move" is a process that 3D doesn't endure. You can set joints, motion range, and just have it move along those lines. Whereas stopmo takes immense patience to animate.

My backstory? I studied 3d animation around 2010 when everyone was trying to make 3d not look like 3d. I was dreaming of stopmo right as Coraline came out. It hurt to see them bend towards what I tried to escape. It hurt to see others realize our 3d dreams knowing they didn't get to touch objects.

Hi I'm Verdana Alpine your long forgotten Imaginary Friend! ✏️
And I am returning to you in the form of a VTuber, but I want to explore ways to express myself and expand my style! So starting today I will be mixing 2D WaterColour and 3D StopMo to make a unique VTubing style!

My yt algo has been throwin me lots of stopmo lately - I don't deny the generational, institutional knowledge loss, but I think some of it will live on. (Really good stopmo, at that.)

This is rhetorical cos its my blog not any of yours, but...Im thinking I want to include non-creature miniature effects on the blog too
Not the main focus, more a side feature, cos so many of these guys dabble in modelmaking too. And hey, its essential for stopmo creature effects too.

You ain’t seen a realistic depiction of a panic attack until you’ve seen Olivia and the Invisible Earthquake. Though imperfect in its narrative, this excellently animated, lived-in stopmo coming-of-age is as good as any for helping children overcome emotional challenges and the powers that be.

I am attempting to make a PNG tuber animated avatar with still pictures instead of drawings. I want it to feel stopmo-y. I want to use it for podcast videos & streaming. Will this work? I fricken hope so. Currently deciding on how to chop. I gotta isolate a sculpture somehow. Oy this is hard.

Ohh I still havent seen the director's cut I think, it's been a while. And yeah, man, what an unsung artist.
I wonder if Fellows and Buchanan also did the stopmo and puppet effect for Waxwork 2? Like the fakey Godzilla pisstake

Assorted images of the stopmotion Diadara and Mezzick-Muul that was sadly omitted from the theatrical cut of Clive Barker's Nightbreed.
The film's stopmotion was worked on by Rory Fellows and Neville Buchanan (pictured in the first and third images). Buchanan sadly passed away last week

So again, the areas of the image were talking about are literally the very edges of the face. They're erased so it doesn't look like his throat has been slit and we've done that since Coraline. We're just looking to keep the focus on the delicate animation.
I like rough look stopmo too fwiw!
