Here are some ideas on how to make use of a green screen (or in this case a green or blue poster board) to put your stop motion and clay animation characters into sets and locations that just don't quite fit onto your animation stage.
This is NOT a software demo. I use After Effects, but I know many animators can afford that, and with so many options, I didn't attempt to get into all the steps for compositing green screen shots. So if it seems like I skim over the post production stage, that's why.
Vamirina Disneyland clip: IMToys at www.youtube.co....
Please see my other tutorials on how to animate toys, make an armature for a puppet, as well as other stop motion subjects.
Software: Dragonframe. iStopmotion (Mac only) is a good frame-capturing app for the price. I understand MonkeyJam is a good free option for Windows (well, some users feel otherwise). If you have a favorite stop motion app, please tell us about it in the comments.
Effects compositing in After Effects and editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. I have not had the opportunity to try out free or inexpensive alternatives for Windows.
Camera: I'm using a DSLR. But if you're not there yet, a good option is a phone or tablet with a quality camera and an app that can shoot single frame for 24-frames-per-second playback.
Shopping:
Green or blue poster board: Arts/craft store, Target, or $1 Store
Clay (Van Aken, Sculpy III), armature wire: Arts/craft store like Hobby Lobby or amazon.com.
Armature kit: stopmotionstore.com
16-gauge aluminum armature wire (from an art store or Amazon, not the hardware store)
Just about everything here can be found on Amazon if you don't have all these kinds of stores in your area. You can also get animation supplies from stopmotionstore.com.
Definitely need to give this a try.
Moonshine animations? is-is that really you? I LOVE YOUR OFF THE GRID SERIES!!
Pooop
Gooood you are awesome you like
U
Ur tutorials are amazing, and have helped me in my animation endevours! Please keep up ur amazing work 😁
This is way I subbed to this guy. There is very little tutorials that show how to do this type of stuff. So glad to see you upload agian.
It’s really annoying how we (Artists) don’t get enough credit for our work!
So true!
Viewers definitely have no idea how much work and talent is required.
@@BatziBoah Someone once said it takes 10 years to master something. I couldn't agree more. It's also advised for new authors to write their first book, and throw it in the bin. It takes a lot of work to make something look this easy, and if it looks terrible just work harder and you'll get there :)
@@BatziBoah if you try something new people are going to say that it is bad but after sometime the same person will think that he was wrong so don’t give up on making your stop motion and remember practice make man perfect
This is your best tutorial so far! So great to see how many different examples of how to use compositing
the ending was cute xD
Omg nice to see you here!
I thank U for this post.Ive alwayz wondered how I could try this at home.Just never knew how.
Wow--that is all so cool and fun! I'm completely over my head just watching this video, but it's fun to see some of the extensive work that goes into making art like this. Great job!
I don’t understand anything you say but your voice is so relaxing
Priceless information
This was awesome info! Haven't even done my first stop motion video, but doing some research and appreciate the tips!
Me gustan mucho tus tutoriales gracias y un saludo
THANKS MICHAEL YOU ARE..MASTER
Very informative
0:23 MRS PRESIDENT, LOOK OUT!
Wow this is awesome ill start working on this!!!❤️
So awesome 💖😊thank You for sharing 💖😊
Great piece - I'd add that using After Effect's frame blending and motion blur can add a tremendous amount of realism and production value to one's work!
Awesome thanks.
instructions not clear. got lego stuck in toaster
Cool video
Another helpful tutorial, thank you!
This was really cool and helpdul thanks!
This is super awesome and entertaining :)
Thank you, video full of interesting suggestions
Very good!!!!!
Can you make a video with title:how to make a puppet with metal wire?
Nikola Eric he did
CoCo thanks,i didnt saw it
this helped me a lot thanks
Saludos cordiales desde la república dominicana 🇩🇴 Bendiciones excelente tus vídeo me An ayudando mucho gracia
I'm actually using AnimaShooter for shooting (not expensive at all, but there's a free version too) and Hitfilm Express free for editing. I would recommend the PicPac app for android phones and tablets shooting (suggest a remote bluetooth shooting control, in this case)
Dino Agate That’s what I use! I just bought it, and it works pretty much like Dragonframe.

(Insert " The lion sleeps tonight" meme)
Nice!
thanks for the info!
Great video! Quick question though...the newest version of Final Cut for my Macbook is FCPX, and I'm wondering if it still has the green screen capability. (since I've never seen it on there) You can probably tell by my profile that I make AGSMs, and I'm planning on getting a green screen soon so I can make some huge projects I've come up with. I animate in the Stop Motion Studio Pro app on iPad, and then edit what I can't do in SMS to the footage in Final Cut. I'm just wondering where to get to the green screen settings in FC or if I'm going to need a whole other software. Thanks!
I don't use FCPX, but I see that there is a green screen filter.
Nice how to.
Can you make a video on how to composite? How can we put a clip of a character moving and then completely removing the background, and then adding more characters?
Great :)
I like Davinci Resolve.
Great
Nice tutorial as always. But would rods or wire attachments work for every kind of puppet? And if my puppet is relatively big could there be a risk of it falling or snapping off from their wire support?
I haven’t seen a video from you in years
Can you do a behind the scenes of your videos?
Complimenti
Can you do a tutorial on poseable hair?
Wanna do one of these for my final
I love these tutorials there the best just wanted to ask where did you get that steam effect ?
I've gotten elements like that from so may sources over the years that I don't remember. It was probably from a stock footage source. There is similar on youTube if you search for steam element greenscreen.
I really like baby batman
Can you show us how to animate fire?
How do you do that one effect where its like a moving scribbled up jumble on your eyes. IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN this is the best I could do. Does anyone know what its called?
Batbaby drinks slime confirmed
What do I do if the thing is animating has both green and blue on it?
That's basically just something you have to avoid. If it has just a little, like blue eyes on a blue screen, I've fixed it in After Effects, by creating a duplicate layer with just eyes (everything else masked out) without the blue screen filter applied. But that can get to be a lot of work.
Huh
How can I make shadows in the green screen for the puppets to feel more real (because how you animated the puppets they looked fake)
Rubiks Studios they’re not supposed to look real
bro, can u explain how to do a large scale figure green screen, like a highway car chase?
If you mean larger props and sets, it just means a larger greenscreen. I bought real greenscreen material that can cover a wall, and have even painted a wall (for freelance live action as well as stop motion). The trick with more complex setups is to make sure that the greenscreen is lit evenly and isn't getting shadows. The greenscreen gets its own lights, and you try to light the set without spilling additional light onto the screen.
How do u get the green object in the green screen still that's been really annoying
I'm not sure I understand what you mean, but if you are asking what to do when you put a green object in front of a green screen, that's when you switch it to a blue screen.
Just that easy huh
What app are you using for stop motion
Q: how to you move it?? Can you move it with kinemaster?
I haven't tried that app, but it looks like it would work since layers can be animated.
Michael Parks ok thanks! 😊
Any chance you could shed light on sound design in your animations?
There's not really much to shine a light on. I edit in Premiere Pro, using royalty free music. Sound effects come from my old CD collection, sound effects sites, and youTube. Using such varied sources, I can't say I put a lot of thought into a consistent "design" for a video beyond the decision of just how cartoony the effects will be.
Thanks for your response! Guess it's all about just finding the right resources.
Hi Michael Parks! I very like your tutorials! But i don't understand 95% of your videos. I so bad speak on English and understand it. And i want see in your videos subtitres on Russian language.
Please help.
Thank you)
do you have a tutorial on using after effects for green screen
I haven't made one, but I see there are several on youTube already that would have the same workflow as a greenscreen stop motion shot.
That was after effects you did it with weren’t it
@@coolvibesreloaded7946 Yes, that's after effects I'm using.
👁👁
