How To Do Stop Motion Animation Tutorial Part 2: LEGO Minifigure Walk Cycle 

You are so cool for making these! They're helping Alot! Getting a laptop and webcam at the end of this month so these will be watched several times again! MAKE MORE!

"Not that you care because all you want is 501st" WE'VE BEEN WAITING 7 YEARS

@MrPoolmonkey If you put any thought into that at all you would see that I mention it not ONLY in the video, but ALSO in the description. Please, think before you ask questions.

Great tutorial. Just note, setting the frame rate in the first popup box does not set the animation frame rate. This sets the stream rate from the camera. Setting this too high can crash the camera software driver. 5 frames per second there is ample. The animation frame rate is set on the settings window. 15 fps is good. Check documentation on the helium frog website.

@AbysmalCry It's in the settings tab. You could choose to output as frames.

Helium Frog helped me out a lot!!! Thanks:)

@Alexiandro0 It was actually designed FOR claymation, I believe, so of course.

I care about your upcoming war film it looks awesome I can't wait:)

I nearly lost it when he said, "I'm drinking tea, also known as 'LIQUID DIABETAS'"

I think you did a good job on the tutorial. It was almost a troll voice XD. Just a tip: Try to get the light flicker fixed, sometimes it is disturbing. Good luck with UWSDWF!

You need to put up a video telling how to get the laser/lightsaber effects, and how to use them. That is essential

@martincprice Ah, alright. Thank you. I had a misunderstanding. ;) And would you happen to be the martin price that made the animator? If so, I'd like to thank you for making such a good program that's free and easy to use!

@xXArronaXx I'd recommend BrickLink(DOT)com. And anything with a solid color would be passable for a background.

Thanks, Brad. I guess I'll be trying Heliumfrog now. Doesn't it crash though several times though?

you almost sound like soos from gravity falls

in 501st legion how do you make explosions and the lasers? thats really cool and i wanna know how you do it because i want to make my own stop motion videos and use that

You know, sometimes when you talk, you actually sound a bit like that guy from Redlettermedia. Anyways, very nice! Puts the fun in Making lego movies.

I just stumbled upon this video, looking for a decent stop motion software that has onion skinning (MonkeyJam can't do everything). I think Helium Frog might be my golden ticket. Judging from your videos it produces some fairly good stuff image quality wise.

Very helpful vid! Where did you get the figure? Thanks

Very nice and informative.

it realy help now i know how to do stop motion :D

lolz "i hate dogs....i have 5 of them" :D hahahaha funny and great tutorial it helped a lot

@WAnimator107 you just have to wait 2, or 3 months before it don't crashes when you take a picture, then make lots of small video's and then it's done with the crashes.

awsome and is that a snuggie for the bluescreen?

@BakuganOmer he's being kind enough to show us how to make a awesome stop motion so be grateful

Your voice changes a lot... Awesome.

THANK YOU!!!!! I did need ! Again thanks!!!

@BLUECH3DDAR I have heard a few complaints about it. He is using Helium Frog which is a free download. just google it.

@legoleopardgecko I've only been there once to download the software, so I wouldn't know.

@BLUECH3DDAR Hey I make movies with Imovie in stop motion - you could even check some of them out - It goes up to 10 fps, but It still looks great if you know what you're doing. If you want, you can pm me and ask me for a few tips, because it is actually really easy since you have all the effects you need all in the same program!

@Nightshroud99 I shall indeed, I will be making tutorials on just about every technique I use!

@pizzamovies when's lego clone wars the 501st legion reprisals coming out?

@pizzamovies Oh, on the software I use 1 click isn't enough, it goes way too fast. It doesn't really make sense though because your 15fps is the same as mine. I'm surprised, well maybe you do smaller movements?

This is great! I do stop motion movies but they're kinda corny, not treally the right way to do the stuff right. I'm gonna have to try this later.

if u have helium frog does that let u control your camera from ur computor

i see you loaded this video last may, since then what do you think about the ipad and iphone stop motion hd app / mixdown finalize in imovie? i hate the camera in my ipad2 and cant put it on a tripod little problems i ran into

nice tutorial!

Thanks for this! And your accent kind of reminds me of pennywise from it lol..

Awesome

cool i was one of the first here!and cool vid

@WAnimator107 It's a really frustrating program to use if your computer isn't really good. :/

how do you animate the photos and make them shoot things like bullets red and blue can you do a video on how to do that which will help me stop-motion lego starwars because I will need the clones, droids and vehicles/ships to shoot and kill each other.

Nice video!

@pizzamovies were you born with bypolar or did you get it later on in your life?

Remind me to lower my volume on my headphones for this.

Same, @ Eric White......seems to work well

Does Helium Frog work with Mac?

Is there any way where you could take individual frames? I want to mask and make lego fly, so I need to change the individual frames for it.

@BakuganOmer hey he's being gracious enough to tell us how to make our own epic videos and if you were a stop motion maker you might appreciate this

Ok so why would u chose 15fps? Wouldnt it be alot smoother to chose like 30fps or somthing?? Or do u have to do more motions then?

Can you make a video about how to make star wars blaster effects

Yay new movie

helped out a lot thanks but cant download helium frog! >:(

@TDStudios97 I hit capture for every time I moved him...

@rhemarev59 Depends on your hardware really.

You know, you could use an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 to take pics, they have hq pics

Ya i hate dogs thats why i have five!!!!!! hahahaha your an awsome animator keep it up!!

hate to be a bother but how do you get body parts to fall off like the top half of a figure falling to the floor or something

were sorry we want 501st,there just so good! :D

Where do you get your WW2 Minifigs? Sorry If you answered that before!

Did you only hit capture once? If you do it once, doesn't it go really fast with 15fps.

How do you acess that webcam control panel (I use the same webcam as you)?

@FireBrickFilms He sounds very excited though :P

@legomaster615 No. You're not. Now please, watch the video and comment ABOUT the video. :P

@MasterOfPuppets4080 Yeah I got it done early.

Where did you get the military style vest piece?

where did u get the program? Is it Windows Media or movie maker?

I tried making it with lego movie maker on my phone its hard but it works

@PatriotGabe Two words: Sticky tac! :P

What if you want mouth animation in this as well? WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

thx for showing me how to do it

ove the video so when does the 501st start back up

6:15 So true. People need to realize that Star Wars isn't the ONLY thing in the world.

sweet!

where do u get those ig lego bottom plates that they stand on

what camera do you use? :D

I actually want planet fall more then 501st cause its kind to predictable - clones under attack , look like there losing then reinforcements arrive and they win

Damn I wana the military vid!!

you used to use monkey jam cause some of your stop motion look kinda dark oh...by the way look at my my sop motions and they look wak

And HELLLLLLLLOOOO to you too.

cool

i like your vids when you were serious

@BakuganOmer Oi, you know it took me 20 minutes to make this? I'm trying to help people with this ya know.

is that ur real voice or is it programed?

at lego stores either online or offline

@pizza movies when your next tutorial?

@pizzamovies Yeah, that makes sense.

You are my idle for stop motion and I need lots of help with my videos!!! So if you can give me any advice please just post it on one of my videos or respond in your comment area thank you!!

i actually dont have it but it should be free if not you can get monkyjam which is free or you can get ikitmovie (i use it) it comes with lots of sounds you can record your voice and there is a croma key function but its $50

Great explanation, check out my lost cat animation that I did with moviemaker and a camera. Think your method is better, I'll look at the software again

Dude, you sound exactly like Peter griffon (family guy)!

Would you recommend iMovie

i saw Romantically Apocalyptic in the background :D

in your opening send me the video with that guy running with an energy sowrd i wanna see it

@NewBoundProductions same i got that problem too

Speech less 0.o 0:42

what type of webcam do you suggest?

whenever i try to open helium frog, it says "cannot find black cat buttons". how do i make it work?

can u do this with an hp webcam?

Only video I seen using Camstudio other than mine :D
