We used <a href="http://www.dragonstopmotion.com" target="_blank">Dragon Stop Motion</a> the Holy Grail of Frame Grabbers. I will never use a Video Lunchbox again. More on that in a following post.<br /><br />Enjoy 'O in the Box':<br /><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xp5oHjw55Q8&rel=0&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xp5oHjw55Q8&rel=0&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /><br />This whole commercial and all the animation in it was created IN CAMERA (with the exception of rig removal on the flying pillows!). We had two rehearsal days and four animation days. We shot on 35mm film, most shots were motion control but we also used Dragon Stop Motion's manual hand camera move calculator to shoot the tilt up the Christmas tree because the motion control unit was needed on another stage.Tennessee Reidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03059190280046125565noreply@blogger.com
