@@TheLazyEyebrow - It just felt like that was how the joke was flowing. Oh, and I bought my Tripod in July. Zero regrets, though there is one less toy on the shelf.

I swear dude, you're my hero. I've search for many stop motion tutorials, and I kept crossing by lego stuff (not that they were bad) but your tutorials explain much in detail. Subscribe!
I actually started doing stop motion recently and there is so much difference when you have the right hardware and software as opposed to just move figure and take a picture.
I just got a tripod a few weeks back. It's definitely a great item to have. Definitely helps make an image look better than taking one and having a blurry picture.
good god, I have been on TH-cam for a YEAR and I JUST NOW found out that you could lock your exposure settings! This is going to resolve a TON of lighting issues on my channel now.
I used to make Transformers and Lego stop motion videos in high school (haven't had time since) and by far my biggest challenge was always keeping the camera and the base I had my figures on still between shots and I can't believe I never thought of using a shutter remote, that would've helped so much!
Yesterday after I finished watching this, I actually started making stop motion and it’s fun and annoying because I don’t have a proper setup, but I’ve been able to do it!
I love this channel so much because it’s family friendly and it’s so fun and I know he’s the lazy eyebrow but his true name is always going to be The best Eyebrow ever (that sounds weird dont judge tho)
I’m so happy that you are now sharing your infinite wisdom! Now I can improve a lot! Thanks Eyebrow!!!!! Love your vids btw I find em really funny and well made.
that's the same app i used to make a student film project a while back. Funny story idk if the app still does this but the longer the video was it would just drop frames when playing back in the editor, you had to actually load the full video to watch in the intended fps. I didn't know this and was about at the halfway point when i noticed it looked quite choppy, and thought this was because i was rushing and working very hastily, so i started to animate with a little more care and smaller intervals as well as adding new scenes with slower motions. Every time i'd play it back of course, it'd still look choppy so i kept trying to be smoother and smoother until one time i played it back and KNEW i filmed smoother than what i was watching. Then i figured out how to properly play it back and watched the animation steeply improve as the film went on
You posted this after I finished my crappy attempt at making a stop motion of siege prime playing November rain by guns and roses... Thanks for the tips! I'm gonna use them next time
I didn’t actually think of the lighting lol, I already started making my own stop motion videos but it’s always good to get advice, I really need to work on the lighting for my videos
My reality flickers and twitches so my work is normal for me. But yes! “I’ve could’ve waited an eternity for this!” Been wanting to see how you do your things!
I have planned to do stop motion before. This helps a lot. I may even set up a second channel to do it on. But before I do that: I need a tripod Thanks for the tips!
GUY !!! FINALLY I FUCKING LOVED THIS VIDEO I WANTED SO MUCH A “HOW TO DO” MADE BY YOU AND SOON TODAY I BEGAN TO EDIT MY FIRST REVIEW .... POW, THERE YOU GO AND POST THANK YOU LAZY EYEBROW But really, stop buying an action figure to buy a tripod, it was a sacrifice for me, but it was worth every penny Please,continue, i fucking love your vídeos and I keep watching to learn more and more (seriously, I even watch to sleep) Hello from Brasil
I would definitely buy some and you'll probably be doing a video on this soon but how do you get mid air shots I'm working on a video for my channel and there's a lot of jumping and flips #buyatripod
That cannon can connect to your phone or tablet and you can use your phone to snap the pics as well as have the pics store directly into it the phone and if you have your phone or tablet setup with cloud those can online storage placed into your laptop, considering pictures and size you should not go over your allotted storage with some being 50 to 120 gigs. There are 3 main ways with a 4th being in a higher tier camera First thru a router/wifi connection 2 the camera becomes the router/wifi and you directly connect that way if the device is close then faster remote method 3. Hardline, there is a cable plug in on the side of the camera. 4. Not on your camera model but the next newer version is Bluetooth, in fact the only change was adding that and at the time for me a difference of 200USD...
@@TheLazyEyebrow Ya it can help when you are doing stuff away from a power source ie park or such that way you can take the pics and view the pics on the phone or tablet without lugging your laptop and having it run out of power within an hour.
I'd really like to try doing some stop-motion, but had no idea how involved it was until watching this. This is going to be some great learning shortcuts (now I know, and knowing is half the battle, yo joe!). This might sound really obvious, but how do you stabilise the TOY for transformation shots? Especially mid-transformation; some of yours (e.g. IDW Drift) seemed to be mid-air.
You can also use a earphone to take pictures Like I'm not joking I use a earphone to take shots and it works greatly most of the time. Just be careful the wire doesn't get pulled or else the camera might move Unless you have a tripod XD But seriously some phones have these features
and what if I want to do a stop motion of my tripod? huh? HUH? Anyways thanks for this series, it's always a treat to have someone share what they learned and you made it fun to watch too
Great video man, hey I have a question, I've been trying to figure out how to get sound effects (specifically transformation, etc.) but I have no clue on how to do that. Looking around online has either left me more confused or nothing.
Nice tutorial, this particular episode can also serve as one for general toy photography! Unfortunately, that means I personally didn't get a lot out of it, and while I'd ask for more on hardware and software there aren't too many old timers like us who'd use a non-smartphone camera. ...Plus I'm probably lacking in a proper space for shooting.
@The Lazy Eyebrow Awesome video as always, I wish to see you do a video collab with other animators and make a fan film. I do have a question though, when I start animating...should I get me a Tripod? :P Cheers brother :D
How did you glued those LED Strip Lights and ON what? Did you cut them into little pieces and put on a Round steel beam or did you wrap it along the beam.
I wonder if it's possible to make moving camera angles still using this method coz i did ALOT of film school and would love to apply film methods to stop motion like making a camera that rotates around a character as he transforms.
Completely possible. Though that dabbles more into my tutorial on flying The method you'd need to use is to have your camera attached to a track of some sort. After each frame, you'd move your subject and after getting it perfect, moving your camera incrementally
I was really expecting to hear "Part 4, buy a tripod. Part 5..."
Dang I wish I had've thought of that hahaha

This has come at the perfect time as I’ve been thinking about getting into stop motion for a little while now
Yes. This is the perfect video for me. I'm gonna see about getting a tripod and I can't wait for the next tutorial.

It was awesome seeing clips from the server
Yay I loved the old ones and these will be amazing
Yes... I wanted you to continue this, so I could learn some of this stuff. I wanted to get into the animation/stop motion type of video content
welp i bought a tripod yesterday, so im just gonna be rewatching these videos all day
Thanks for the tips lazy. Btw it’s me Spoopy Eva
