Introduction to Stop-Motion Animation

We’ll start by going over the basic principles of stop motion. What you'll need to set up a proper stop-motion environment, as well as a quick overview of Dragonframe - the industry standard program for stop-motion animation.

Setting Up a Scene

After we understand the basics of how stop motion works, we'll go over connecting and setting up a camera, as well as how to light our scene. Then we'll build a set for our animation sequence, and construct a clay character from scratch.

Animating a Scene

When our assets are ready, we'll get into animating all the shots for our sequence. We'll use Dragonframe's planning tools, audio tools, onion skinning & toggling, and even lip-syncing.

Exporting & Post-Production

When our animation is ready, we'll learn how to export our images from Dragonframe into an editing program such as Premiere, and learn how to use After Effects for rig removal and working with RAW files.
