You're Only Going Through The Stop-Motions, Baby

On July 6, 2007, in Final Cut Pro, by peterb

iStopMotion is a wonderfully simple little Mac app that helps you make stop-motion movies. I made the below movie with a tethered Canon Rebel XT, because I’m an abject, hopeless wanker. An easier (and probably more correct) way to do it, however, is probably to use the program’s excellent support for the iSight camera.

OK, OK. As you can see, I’m not Martin Scorsese. I’m probably not even Ed Wood. But I still had fun.

I wonder how much work it would be to redo Spartacus with Fisher-Price figurines. The hard part will probably be getting the lead character’s shirt off.

    Hi,

    This was a really nice little stop motion animation! I just got a Canon EOS XTi, and I am evaluating iStopMotion too. I can’t get iStopMotion to actually command the Canon to take a photo. Were you able to get it to do that, in real-time? Please email me, I would certainly appreciate the tip.

    Thank you,
    Bryan
