Learn stop-motion animation with Kevin! I've been meaning to try this format for a while - a stop-motion lesson based on a simple exercise easily done with arts and crafts materials. It's still a bit tricky to show the addition of each new frame, but I think this came out fairly clear. I have some ideas on how to improve the exercises, but I'd be happy to hear what you think!

    I wanted to try a new format where I teach a simple stop-motion exercise that anyone can do. Let me know what you think! I already have a few ideas of where to improve, but wanted to start somewhere! ✨

    This was fantastic, Kevin! More!

    A good tip to have is to plug some wired earbuds into the phone. If you have it enabled in settings, changing the volume of the phone will take a picture, so you can take a picture of the next frame by changing the volume using the earbuds, without having to risk moving the phone by touching it.

    I think a little bit of sideways motion would help a bit, both shaking when holding the energy and waving around crazily when released

    Very helpful, would love to watch more like this, even longer. It is rare to see an animator’s process frame by frame, without speeding it up. Would love to watch you work with rigs, as well as performance of characters. Thank you!

    Stop motion animation is so cool that you do it with toys, puppets, and even people. They even do a lot of magic.
  • @CroissantTudor
    If you’re animating with figurenes or lego etc i suggest using “sticky tack” to hold the figures down and make your camera stable
  • @terryrhuebottom
    Very cool. It really doesn't weigh everything down with the technical terms and principles but from what I can see shows more of the process. I could see this being really useful.
  • @GarrettElton
    This is awesome to see your decision-making in this video. Helpful to see how you think about the motion while shooting.
  • @BE-rn4px
    I’m taking your stop motion course right now, working my way through it and loving it 😊
  • @dexter765
    Love this idea. Getting an insight into the thinking and processes is really interesting. It can seem quite daunting starting out in something like stop-motion, so having these videos can really help break it down to something everyone can try. Keep these videos coming please!
  • @theshankanator
    Dang, this was a great tutorial for channels like mine that are devoted to stop motion 😂
  • @susanne5803
    You are a brilliant teacher! Thank you very much!
  • @mlcsracingnetwork
    As someone whose channel is based on stop motion, this has taught me a lot about momentum. So thank you so much!
