My son really loves Lego stop motion animation, and he’s getting quite good at making them on his DS. One of his favorite creators is Michael Hickox. Check him out on YouTube. Some really cute videos.
I need to find a way to help my son make videos with my DSLR and or iMac. Anyone know of any useful software for making Lego stop motion animation?
I am an Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) and an active member of the Michigan LEGO User Group (MichLUG). I have loved LEGO for as long as I can remember. I am currently working on the following models:
– UCS Millenium Falcon
– Emmett’s Apartment Building
– Gringott’s Bank
I use iStopmotion by Boinx with a Logitech webcam with a manual focus ring on my MacBook. I can use my D60 dslr but it isn’t as easy to set up last shot overlay. I’m nedclive on YouTube and use this set up with my students and my family.
Awesome! Love the fades in your videos.
I too have a D60, so I’m glad to hear it’s possible to use one with last shot overlays. What were the difficulties you had with it?
