DIY Fringe Crop Top Stop-Motion Video

6/2/2017

0 Comments

 
Last weekend I shot lots of footage for a vlog, stop-motion video as well as a little tutorial for making some little crochet flowers! For the stop-motion, I wanted to share a fringe crop top style without going through as much footage as I did for the vlog, which is me creating another fringe edged top, only that one is much more of an actual how to and a longer piece with the actual vlog aspect. 

So, the stop-motion idea came to me, and I needed to figure out a way to show you the supplies and general idea, without making a long drawn out how to. Just something quick and fun.

It was pretty simple to create, here is how I did it! 
  1. Set up your camera on a tripod. Use a background that won't be change or move, and takes up the whole frame. 
  2. Take some test shots to make sure the lighting is good & to set your focus. 
  3. TIP: Once you set your focus on your subject, you can set the camera to manual focus and shoot away without waiting for the camera to autofocus every time.
  4. Think about the story your subjects are going to tell, where and what will they do in the frame to create a little story? I wanted to share another DIY project without it being a tutorial, so I thought of this idea, and had the shirt roll off the screen to create a surprise effect when it rolled back on. :)
  5. Once you have your idea, start shooting! Move your subjects onto frame or start with them on frame. As you move the items, inch by inch or however small an increment that you like, you take a picture. Take a few test shots to see how you like the flow. You can scroll through your pictures quickly to get a feel for how they flow together and create the progression of movement.
  6. Once you have all the shots, save your images to your computer, and use your movie editing program to create your stop-motion. I use iMovie, and set each image to .2 seconds.
  7. Add some music! I played my little ukulele! 
  8. Export as a file to share!
