Behind the scene of actionfiguremovies (very pic heavy)

actionfiguremovies · #1 (**permalink**) 03-26-2012, 23:20

I just finished my latest clip about the next project. I took a lot of pictures of the behind the scene set building. I usually do not show this but I've gotten some request, so here it is. I'll post a link at the bottom so you can see the finished product. Only about 8000 pictures were taken to produce this clip.

Enjoy

I hope you enjoyed the pictures, so here's the link to see the clip.

Not sure what that it. I purchased them from Hobby Lobby a few years ago. The did really light up, but I had to cut the cord to use them as set pieces.

I grew up in Inglewood. Too bad I left. You could have come over anytime bro.

This clip took just over a week to finished. Two if I count the time for writing the script. I worked on it everyday for 4 to about 6 hours a day.

Thanks. Glad you like it. It was a blast to put up. Might have to keep it up for a while.

It from the Brats line. I got it at target on clearance. I've never tried to put a figure in it, but it does look good as a background prop.

Thanks. I'm thankful for two things. 1. A wife that lets me use the entire downstairs for a studio. 2. That I have a down stairs.

I never even noticed but I just went to look at the box and is says "Powerful" across the top. SO I guess that's who made it. The door open & close only by remote control. I never seen that before. I did even have to do any modifying to get the figure in it. Females fit better than males. I bought it off ebay years ago.

Cool pics Phillip! It is always neat to see the sets!

Texlander · #15 (**permalink**) 03-27-2012, 14:55

Very cool.

I know very little about stop motion except that each frame is filmed separately and put together. But, in a nutshell, how does that work exactly? I saw you have a video camera. Are you taking stills with that or video? How then are you piecing it together? Just editing software?

All good questions. I'll try and answer them. The camera in the picture is hooked to the computer through adobe premiere, which has a stop-motion options. The camera is just for looking. The computer is capturing the images through the camera. (hope that make sense) I use the same program to put the images on a timeline along with all the sound. With all that, you get finished clips.

Thanks for looking
