Please watch (its only 2 mins) and comment on it in relation to video as a whole. IE, do you think this is a good video overall.</p> <p><a href="http://www.v48hours.co.nz/screening-room/2010/auckland/claytal-attraction/" rel="nofollow">http://www.v48hours.co.nz/screening-room/2010/auckland/claytal-attraction/</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Please pass on link to your friends :-)</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Feedback appreciated</p> <p> </p> <p>Thank you</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/some-stop-motion-questions#post-38584 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:20:27 +0000 ralck 38584@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I did a quick skim-through and didn't seem anything similar, so I thought I'd ask...</p> <p>So without getting into details, I'm going to have to be immobile for the next few days at least... depending if my toe is broken or not...</p> <p>Well, I've had a few ideas about trying my hand at clamation and other forms of stop-motion.  My question is... to use a system of 3-point lighting in a small scale like that, what kind of lights should I use?  Should I use lights I would normally use on a live-action shoot and just use stuff to diffuse them and cut down the light as much as possible?  Should I just use those lights as-is?  Should I get some sort of smaller lights... even using household lamps and white-balance in my camera?</p> <p>I want to light like film... I just don't know what kind of lights will work best for a small scale.  And just to give you an idea, I'm thinking the clay puppets will probably be between 1-2 feet tall.</p> <p>Also... I was thinking of going down to the local craft store and getting some modeling clay.  Will that be rigid enough to stay where I want it and still flexible enough to move?</p>
