DRY BOARD STOP MOTION

Modern Renaissance Man (M.R.M.)

It’s all about being well versed in all the arts and if you can’t be well than just be versed. I am just versed when it comes to Stop Motion Films but that doesn’t mean I don’t get stoked on it. You need not posses the highest form of graphic design or film work just a strong imagination. So here's the nuts and bolts.

What you need? Any Video Camera that takes pictures and hooks up to your comp.

What I use? HANDYCAM, MAC PRO, IMOVIE

How's it work? You can use a tripod to hold the camera or I just rock it in my left hand and draw on a dry erase board. I draw a line than snap a pic draw again snap again and so on. I change the picture around and use slight of hand tricks for more visual effects. Than i load it up to my MAC drop it in IMOVIE. Change with one setting the time lapse of the pictures and get the correct time i want for the feel. Upload a song from itunes into it and add special effects from garage band where needed.

Hope this helps and stay creative.
