Anyone know anmything about MORPH

im trying to do a morph stop motion style thing. but was wonfderin if anyone knew how morph was made. did he have an armature? how did they keep him smooth during anumation etc?? probly know one in hwere no but thiought i twas worth a trey

[gypsy_cream]

i made animations out of plasticine but i used a camcorder and pressed rec/stop on and off repeatedly ...wasnt very smooth at all.. if i could find a way to record vhs onto a computer id show you

arr, u got a mac? or u need is a shit digital cam and some capture software on pc etc, then click and move, well hard getting into a 25 frames per second mentality, my animations have been so rubbish. i made a black morph tho and he looks pretyt melted but should be funy, took me 2 hours for 6 seconds..LONNNNG MAAAATEEE

film the tv with ur phone maaaan

it sounds to me like clair's animation is on vhs, and she wants to copy the vhs to her hard drive

[ckpqerjwrpwp]

was morph done at 25fps? I thought it was a bit slower.

I'm sure I remember seeing some making of thing where thye sured the figures and they did have a skeleton to pose them. I could be wrong tho.

the video is 1994/1995 vibes that's all. yes i made the animations when i was 12

i taut it may have been that experimental documentary u were making with Loz where you filmed Loz on web cam pretending he was trapped inside ur pc and couldn't get out and then u printed him out and practiced kissing on it.

[gypsy_cream]

that wasn't loz

[Loz]

yeah, no one would want to practice kissing on a print out of me

it was probably emef

I think Morph was probaly shot on 16mm and later 35mm film

Premiere used to have a frame recorder built in that would work directly from an attached camera, not sure if it does anymore. That was version 6 something i think.

The stop motion stuff i did years ago was just using a 8mm cine camera, most of them have the option to record one frame.

Try shooting 24fps instead of 25, will give it a very slightly different feel

yeah i got 16mm cam, and obviously the vibe loads better but for bin job stop motion, framthief is fine,.. sending off 100ft and coming back black would make me cry my eyes out. but yeah totaly that has to be the next level...

maybe there's a scene inside the Essex Psycho's head, which is going to be rendered Morph style using stop-go-animation.

I reckon Morph doesn't have a skeleton - how would they do all the weird sausage-snakey style movements.

Lego is where it's at for stop-motion.
