COOL
..
i dont quite understand the "replacement" method. could someone explain it to me?
See how the video at the end, "My Paper Mind", was the video form of that stack of white paper? Taking the pic of each still and placing it on top is that style.
"Replacement" is a method of stop motion animation where the illusion of movement is created by a series of slightly different elements. Each one replaces the one before it. For example a series of frames might be a marble, a ping pong ball, a tennis ball, a bowling ball and a pilate (pilates?) ball. These elements each are unique, yet if you photograph them in a series of images and run those images together (each one replacing the previous) you get an illusion of growth or shrink, depending on the order. This method depends largely on a continuity of form (in this case a sphere) i.e. each object bearing a resemblance in some way to the previous. Hope that helps clear things up!
....Amazing....
The animation was amazing. I only wish there was some easier way to do it then taking hundreds of pictures and putting them together.
it was lovely but I would like to more see the animation process.
Stay tuned for PART TWO!!!!
Wow, that dude is amazing. I would never have the patients to do that. Can't wait till part 2.
Beautiful animation. I've never seen anything like that before. Very original. Looking foreward to part two!
Awesome animation!
cool
that was beyond awsome animation. amazing... nuff said... im speachless
someone stoll my name>:c
That animation was freakin awesome. It's like whats constantly happening in my head.
can't wait to see part two...Amazing! How did he do the cutting?
Just an X-acto knife. I got a good chunk of it done in an 18 hour marathon (gotta meet those deadlines!) which I did a time lapse of. That can be found on my site in the "about" page for "My Paper Mind"
Very cool, the clip at the end was brilliant!
Omg, does he cut all those pieces of paper ?!
This is fricking amasing!
Please keep up the animation skits,cool stuff. I am a live event videographer who shoots a lot of motocross racing vidoe's. I have been developing a sort of comic motox racer that I hope to make turn into a animated little series.that I think I can sell to my customers. Keep up the show it is always helpfull. Thanks,from DeGard Photography.
cool animation at the end!!
That animation blew my mind! What framerate was that animated it?
It's only 12 fps. Film runs at 24 fps, so doing every other frame is what animators call "twos." I like to work on "twos" as it makes for a bit more crunchy, tangible feel to things.
Remember those test you take way back when school was required and basically it would tell you if you are a hearing, touch, or visual learner.... my guess is you were a visual learner... Amazing animation the 12 fps does give it a nice feel.
totally awesome video at the end
One free program that I find is very useful is Monkeyjam. Just google it or something.
You can open all your images in it and then it can compile it into a avi file. Or if your camera has a live feed you can use monkeyjam to take the pictures.
great, job. Really amazing animations. This is something you need a lot of patience for.
stunning
Amazing artist at work!
HAHA why were you in the garbage?!
