Hi! I’m Ben. I’m a stop motion artist and a visual engineer. Here I'll be explaining how to make professional stop motion videos using DIY motion control rigs, whether motorized or manual. I'll also share making videos explaining techniques, software tutorials and more!
For more info, work samples and contact please visit: www.behnam-osroosh.com
So informative! As someone who has always wanted to get into the world of motion controls and use it in stop motion, I learned so much from this video. Thank you!
Thank you, Mina!I'm glad you found it useful. I really like to hear what you'd like to learn more about so hopefully I can make videos around those subjects.
hello Ben, thanks for these fantastic products. i hope, they get the attention they deserve. but in my case i live in turkey. we have a 150 dolar limit on the exported items. therefore all the products is out of question for me. i would like the know, can you make a sub 150 dolar line up. Like stl files + schematics or boards for the mocobox etc. Thanks for your answer and wish you well...👍
Hello! I'm glad you like this product and that's a shame these can't be shipped to Turkey according to the price point. I have ideas for the future to sell a version of the kit as a DIY package but not right now.
I definitely believe writing a reliable code, designing two PCBs and custom mechanical parts, designing a proper enclosure and building a reliable and lasting product is much more work than calculating the price of the raw parts!
@@mocotoolbox Sorry did not want to say anything bad about your work. even a bit amazed about ide. Prue genius. just sayd that 20$ GRBL board,12v powersuply and a couple Nema 17 motors can to a same thing as your can control every motor by steps.but ofcourse your one is in a nice pacage and need less knowledge. aa one question"do your have some Gcode support? as would be coolif you can save or pre program motions.
What size/kind of Rails do you use for your big rig (opening)? With all of your experience with these rigs, I would love to see a video on your use of methods to drive things on rails and it's affects on Stop-motion. Belts vs threaded rod.
This is amazing. Thank you very much for sharing everything with us. I will try to make one. Can you share any information oh how you made the turn table. Thank you
What a nonsense. You could use this sentence every year since the 90's. And yes, it can be replaced by 3d scenery without problem, especially with every year of evolving photorealistic quality. But there is more behind, there is a photographer, a gaffer, someone who is shaping the image in the real world. And there is a massive difference between a person doing it for real and a CGI studio which focused on other things than making art with just light and a camera. It has to be that person that is sitting in front of the 3d application to replace real shooting, but it's not the case at the most time.
this is a very comprehensively detailed video - have you used feedback sensors with steppers and any experience with those ? having a controller with closed loop feeedback ?
I had left a fairly detailed comment and messed up had to edit it and then RU-vid messed up I'm not typing all that again. I've got pages worth to type but uh... I've got a design for a 3D printer where the motors are stacked vertically over top of each other in the same verticle space. I'm building my own motors and the printing is done on the inside of the motors. There are no rails, rods, screw rods, belts, gears of any kind except for the gears that push the filament. It has high torque and zero backlash and submicron precision accuracy because I do not have physical steps. My step count isn't even a count, it's literally infinite. The software and hardware part of it I'm going to have to do from the ground up and here's where I'm gonna need help. I essentially am going to have an AI but really a set of complex algorithms that are interacting with themselves that have a microscope camera faced on the rotors. It will know all the physical dimensions of everything about my machine. All of the properties of my water cooled electromagnets that are constant DC. and all of the electrical and mathematical magnetic formulas. And it will have to train itself. My rotors are oriented at a particular angle down to the micron. It will be looking at the camera and have a target rotation and just try combinations until it gets flawless to where it uses the least amount of electricity and the fastest speed without overshooting. So what kind of board could analyze every frame of a high frame rate microscope camera? To see down to the micron that the degree of the disc is oriented, there will be a specialized encoder pattern around the perimeter of the discs, the rotors. So in one instance it knows the physical orientation of everything looks at the G code to see the next destination for the physical orientation and based off of its training model knows exactly how to apply the electricity to achieve getting there. So what kind of boards, computers, pies, whatever, etc. Will I need for this task?
Sir, I am preparing for exams to take admission in college .I want to become an engineer. Which bachelor should I pursue to become an engineer like you .(mechatronics or electronic).I am also sending application to foreign universities. How I can take admission in Your country for quality of education. How you can help me in choosing universities and help in scholarship. Your one step help me so much sir.
Hi, there isn't any specific major to study visual engineering, but electronic or mechatronics would definitely be a good start. I myself studied electronics for bachelor and graphic design for the masters and then combined both. I don't have updated info on choosing universities or finding scholarships so I can't give you any advice on that. I wish you luck!
Hey! Sounds interesting! Could you explain more on what mechanism you're suggesting? You know, the up and down motion is always the most challenging and I'd like to explore different solutions.
Thank you! I'm glad I was able to share my though process. I'm sure this wasn't the only way one can figure out such a thing, and some people might be able to do it more intuitively, but analyzing and planning always works best for me!
I'm glad you liked the video! That's right, there is a lot to think about and prepare beforehand but the result is usually satisfying. I will make more BTS videos! Thanks for the feedback!
