Missing sound - export via After Effects

Started by Miguel Angel "Chiyu" Helu in SOUND 8 hours ago. 0 Replies 0 Likes

Hello everyone, Looking for some help, hopefully someone has already been in the situation I am right now and can give me some insights. The problem is sound. Somehow the sound clips are not been synced during my export via After Effects. So my procedure is the following: 1. Import raw photos into Adobe2. Change to 16 bit3. Change fps to 243. Export them into Quicktime Pro Ress 444 Is there an option in Dragonframe to make sure that the sound gets attached directly to the raw images? Thank you Continue

Bearings for moco camera head

Hello wise board of SMA! I am planing to make simple moco unit with Arduino system. I got great help from previous post about the subject and from Simon Tytherleighs comments.Things have developped plesant ways since last time I looked to this subject. Seems that it is possible to do system with ~400€! One thing what puzzles me is bearings of pan and tilt head. I am planning to make U shaped one. Have you used some axial ball bearing for Pan? Maybe something like this:https://www.vxb.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Kit7852Or do you have it without any bearings, just wax or something?How about Tilt?Thank you,-TatuContinue

Canon eos R or RP?

Started by Tatu P in CAMERA & STAGE yesterday. 0 Replies 0 Likes

I am planing to bye new camera, and it seems that Canon EOS R or RP is way to go. Has enyone some experiences about those?Stopmotion Firmware is something that seems to be great for Dragon. But does it maes up the video shooting options? "The shooting screen cannot be displayed with resolution of 1920 x 1280 pixels and MF peaking will not show up even if [MF peaking settings] is set to [On] under the following conditions"Video options would be great for some video projects. For video R would be great, but with Stopmotion firmware HDMI out is disabled, and you can't use better video quality (10bit). So it seems that there isn't any reason to by R, and RP is way to go. (?)Does anyone have some experience about Canon eos R/RP?-TatuContinue

Small puppet tips?

Started by Mark Francombe in GENERAL PUPPET MAKING. Last reply by StopmoNick on Thursday. 4 Replies 0 Likes

Hi, I´m planning a film now that requires me to use VERY SMALL characters. The set/location is fixed and a character would need to be no higher than 8cm in height...  Therefore I'm not expecting super quality movement (No articulated finger joint LOL) And at this stage I can design characters around the best techniques. I was wondering what tips you guys can offer me? Things I am thinking about.Any pre-made kids toys can be stripped with some articulation possibilities?I have a plan to coat all walkable surfaces with metal (not sure what- suggestions - any magnetic paints?) and place 1mm magnets in feet. Good or bad idea?Cloth or not? Was thinking of pseudo japanese long kimono type clothing (Its sci fi can look like anything I want) to hide legs, but as small magnification wont almost all cloth appear stiff and unyielding. Better to paint latex?Heads, I will want simple "open and shut" mouths for speech (no phonemes) so 2 (maybe 3) replaceable heads. Again thinking a magnet, but will I be able to rotate 2 magnets against each other? (this I can test myself)o r is there a better way for head rotation/replacement at this scale.I realise the best advice might be "don't do it" but I'm dealing with a particular scale here, I'll reveal when Im more underway. Thanks in advance!Continue
