Intro: Stop Motion Basics : Hi, and welcome to the class. I am so excited to get started. I'm Colette Perry, your teacher, and I'm going to be teaching you how to create a Life laps video where you mix Stop Motion and live action video in just one shot using your iPhone. This course is workshop style. I'm going to have you creating right alongside with me, so get ready to have fun, and you'll be able to submit your video as a class project and also share on social media at the end so we can all be inspired by each other's work. So before we dive into how to mix video and stop motion, let's start by going over just the basic principles of what is stop motion. Stop motion is a series of images, shot one frame at a time where you move objects in between each frame. Then when you string all the photos together, it creates a video with the illusion that the object is moving on its own. Like I said in the intro, this is going to be a very hands on shoot because I want you to leave with the skill and the confidence to create this type of video. First, we're just going to practice by making some stop motion. Grab your phone and download Lifaps app if you haven't already and we are going to start out with the basics. When you open up Life laps app, you will start a new project and choose stop motion, and then click the Little plus sign and the camera button, and we are ready to shoot. Don't worry about any of these tools below for now. We're just going to shoot a basic stop motion of this mug spinning in a circle. If I take the first picture, Now, you'll see I have a light ghost layer here that's going to help me spin this mug. Okay. I'm trying to keep it relatively in frame in the center right there. And I'm just going around in a circle. When I animate an object in a circle, I like to think about a clock and maybe I'm taking a photo at 12, two, four, six, whatever you want it to be. I'm just doing this one quick, not too many frames, just to show an example. Okay. Now I'm going to click next. Press play. This is a basic stop motion video that is done very fast without using any bells and whistles in the app, and there's a lot of room for improvement. One thing that I notice is that my table and background move, and that's because I'm doing this handheld. So we'll talk in a moment about stabilizing your phone. The other thing I'm noticing is that the color changes. You can see from this frame to this frame, it gets warmer. It's cooler and then it gets warmer, and that's because my white balance is changing from frame to frame. We'll do another practice shoe and you'll see how I can lock that white balance, focus and exposure so that the color and lighting stays the same. Let's take it up a notch. The first thing that I'm going to change this time is I'm going to use a tricod. Perfect. Now, if you don't have an iPhone tripod, don't worry. There are plenty of hacks that you can try putting your phone inside a mug on the table to stabilize it, leaning it up against a water bottle or a candle. We'll show some examples. But an iPhone tripod on Amazon is not expensive and a very handy tool. I'm going to start a new project, choose stop motion. Open the camera. The first thing I'm going to do is swipe over here and turn on the grid, and this will just help me line up my mug center frame, and I can even choose to line up the bottom of the mug with a grid line. That way, when I animate, I will have that as a guide and not let my mug come forward or backwards much. This is also a good time to just style your scene a little bit. I'm going to go and close this door back here and remove the camera lens off of the counter. Now I'm liking how this looks, let's go over here and look at these tools. This is exposure, auto white balance, and focus, and these three need to be locked. We are going to tap our subject, and then tap, lock, lock. Now that these are locked, that will ensure that the color and the lighting doesn't change from frame to frame. We are shooting with natural light, so the light may change ale bit, but as long as we shoot relatively quickly, it should be okay and not cause too much flicker. If you really want to avoid flicker, you can close the curtains, turn on the lights or use studio lights, but we're going to just see what happens when we shoot with natural light today. I really want you to see how easy this is. I don't want to overcomplicate it and I want to show you that you can set something up in your living room and without doing much, just start shooting a stop motion and have it look beautiful. The next thing I want to mention is once your phone is stabilized, whether it's on a tripod or leaning up against something, It's best not to touch it and press the shutter each time because that can cause camera shake. There are a couple of things we can do. One is put in a pair of Apple headphones and the volume button works as a shutter remote. You can also use a bluetooth shutter remote if you have one for your phone, But the best tool that's right within the app and you don't need anything extra is this interval timer. I'm going to press this little clock icon. You can see here I can choose between one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, all the way up to a minute long between each photo. Since this is relatively easy in terms of animating, I'm just spinning it around. I'm probably going to choose 7 seconds in between each photo and that will give me enough time to spin the mug, maybe correct it a little bit if it's off center and get my hand out of the frame for when it's about to take the photo. As soon as I press this red button, the photos will start being taken at 7 seconds apart. Let's do it. It's counting down. There's my first photo. Now I'm going to spin. If my hand is stuck in there, whoops, I didn't get it out soon enough. That's okay. Don't worry. I just take it out and I can delete that photo once we get into the editing mode. You don't want to rush it too much. Town. It's definitely not easy to spin something in a circle and not have it move forwards and backwards. I'm trying to make sure that I look at that grid line and make it stay consistent each time, but it's definitely not perfect. I would need a much longer interval if I wanted to really perfect this spin. Now it's basically back to where it was, so we'll stop that. We'll press next. Let's see how it looks. Okay. Obviously, we have to remove the frames where my hand is in. So let's go into our timeline and just click that photo, hit delete. I think there were three of them. No. Two. Okay. Then I'm going to go down here to speed and speed it up a bit. Let's see how it looks now. Maybe a little faster. Now, I also see a double frame over here on the right. I'm going to delete the very last frame where it's too close to the same positioning as the first one. Let's see. Now, the other thing I can do is make the video boomerang. Instead of just looping, it can go back and forth. That's fun. Then I can also adjust the coloring. If I brightness up, makes it nice and bright, maybe bring a little bit more warmth. Let's see how that looks. Love it. I can also adjust the size. It's nine by 16, which is great for social, but if I wanted to crop it, I can do that, and then I would just download my video. You'll definitely notice there is a little bit of flicker in the video, but it's not horribly distracting, and it's definitely a big improvement from the first one that we did. You'll notice that when we shoot a life lapse video and we mix video and stop motion, that flicker won't be as noticeable because it'll only be on the little section that stop motion, not on the whole frame. So don't worry too much about your lighting yet. 3. Foundations to Blending Stop Motion & Live Action : Now that you feel comfortable making stop motion, it's time to make a life lapse video. Let's mix a stop motion video with live action video. Here's what I'm thinking. The video is going to show me laying on the couch, playing with my cat, just relaxing, and on the coffee table in front of me is going to be books and a cup of tea animating in a fun stop motion. The whole theme of this is just going to be, these are my weekend plans, snuggling with my cat and having tea and reading books. Let's be real. That will happen during the 1 hour that my toddler naps. Cat is not required. That looks like a nice place to lay down. Let's make the life lapse. First, I'm going to create a new project. I'm going to choose life laps this time. It opens up this camera where you'll see I have those same tools to lock exposure, focus, and auto white balance, and then I can press record. Remember, we're recording one long video, I'm going to animate the objects, and then I'm going to jump in and do the live action video portion with my cat. For this, it doesn't matter which one we shoot first, whether I was going to do the part with my cat and then animate or vice versa. But since I'm already right here, I'm just going to animate first and then do the live action. I'm going to select where the couches, lock exposure, focus, and white balance. And then I will press record. Now it's recording. You see a ten minute timer has started. I'm going to spin the mug in a circle while I shimmy the top book back and forth. The mug will do that and the book will do that. I'm going to come in and do two movements at a time. And then take my hand out of the frame. I don't have to press the shutter or anything. I'm just letting it roll. Now I can come back. I really don't have to remove my hand for too long, just like a second. Okay. Now my animation is done, and I've got to go grab my cat model. The talent has arrived. Okay, so I'm just going to start my little motion of laying on the couch and sug going with my cat. Hi, Hi. Can I have a kiss? I love you. Okay. And now, Misa, you can wrap, and I will stop the recording. Okay. Now, you'll see that I press next. And the first step is to extract my photos from the animation part. Right before I start moving this mug, I'll press this white button, and then you'll see down here and number one, that means I have one photo in my stop motion. Now, have the next one. And I'm making sure to extract the photo in a moment where my shadow and my hand are out of the frame. I'll click next. I have 11 photos in my stop motion. And now I will drag this timeline to the live action video portion of where I want it to start with Miso and I on the couch. Okay. This is the part where I'm going to get him. Here I have him. I'll start it. Like, right here. And then I will end it before we get up right there. Okay. Now I'll click next. So then I click next and the editor shows up and I go down to mask. Now, I can add a mask and the goal is to over the stop motion portion of the video. And then press play. Okay. I tricked you. I purposely framed this incorrectly to stress how important it is that you do not have your live action video and your stop motion overlap. See how this stop motion portion overlaps with where I'm laying on the couch. We need to imagine that there is an invisible boundary line that separates the stop motion portion of the video with the live action part. We're going to reshoot this and adjust the camera of b and do it right. A. 5. Shooting & Editing a Life Lapse: So Let's create a new project, a life lapse. Now, how do we make an invisible boundary line? Well, if we just raise this camera, you'll see this table can be the boundary line, and then I will only be on the couch behind it. If I just go up a little bit higher and tilt down, and then I can move my subjects anywhere within this boundary line where there is wood behind them. These can move like this. Should we go even higher? Yeah. Now I have more room for my animation. And where Miso and I are laying on the couch. We will not overlap with everything that's happening on the table. Now that we are angled correctly, let's choose the spot on the couch for the focus, lock exposure, focus, and auto white balance, and now we are ready to shoot. Mesos right there, but that's okay because we're only going to use the portion of the video where I'm with him on the couch, so we'll just leave him there for now. I'm going to press record, and I'm going to go ahead and do my animation. I'll move the mug and this book. And I'm totally just eyeing the stop motion. I don't have the ghost layer, I don't have the grid line. That's okay. A life lapse video is really all about the magic of the whole thing coming together. And the animation doesn't need to be perfect. It's still going to look so great. Okay. Now that my animation is done, it's time for me to get me so. Me so. Are you ready? We're gonna lay down. And snug. I love. Are you having a good day? I love you, and I'm so happy you're my cat. Okay. And now he's off. And I will stop recording. Okay. Let's pull this off the tripod and edit. So now that I've shot my video, I'm going to choose next and start extracting the photos from the stop motion. First one is this. Now, remember, I'm making sure to choose the spot where my hand is fully out of frame. So I wouldn't want to do like right here, obviously. Then you would see my hand moving. Just make sure my arm is fully out of frame. That's our last photo. We might end up having to delete a photo because the mug might have some extra frames there. That's 21 stop motion frames. Then I'll click next and drag the video timeline to trim just the portion of the live action video where M and M are. Okay. Go. There. And then I'll end it before he jumps off. Now, I'll hit next. Now I'm in the editor. I have my stop motion layer, my video layer, and the first thing I'm going to do is add a mask. I can adjust the brush size and the hardness and a good technique is to draw a relatively hard brush over your exact subject area. But then do a bigger brush that is not hard and feather out the sides so that you get a smooth Border. If we were to just play the video, you would only see the live action, we need to draw a mask over where the stop motion is so that it reveals that stop motion layer. Okay. I'm also going to erase the mask with a harder brush right at the edge of this couch just to make sure I'm fully there, and then let's press play. Yeah, it's looking so good. One thing I do notice is the mug jitters right there at that start and end point because like I said, I do have a couple extra frames. We can go back to the timeline and in the stop motion layer. I can see that this is where my mug ends and this is where it starts, and that's too similar. I'm going to delete this last frame. Let's see now. I'll probably delete this one as well. There we go. Now when I press play, the mug goes in a seamless circle. I'm also noticing that I can fix my mask a little bit. The handle of the mug was coming out, so I will add mask and just add in over there where I need my mug handle to be shown. Then I am going to adjust the speed. I think my animation should be a little bit faster. I think that's perfect. Now, remember, I also have these tools at the bottom where I can boomerang the stop motion, I can reverse it if I needed to animate backwards. I can adjust the color and this will adjust the entire video, not just the stop motion portion, but let's bring the brightness up. And maybe make it a little bit warmer. Let's see. This is so cute. Me, you're a star. Wake up. Now, I'm going to download the video. Now that it's in my camera role, I can go I can go into light room and now within light room, choose my presets that I use and go through and add even more color changes, and I can adjust the amount of the preset. Then I can also do more lighting changes, bring out the shadows, and brighten the whole thing a little bit. If you download the Light room app, you can use any of their hundreds of presets, or you can find presets from your favorite photographers or on ts, and it's really fun to play around with. Then I'm just going to save a copy to my device. This is my final video. Now I can go and post this on Instagram. I can add music. So we see what that looks like? That's a lovely. Oh, God. Algorithm. Accurate. Not be more accurate. I'm going to go to Reels Choose this video. Click next, and now I can add music. Let's just see what's trending. Let's do it. Okay. Click next. Let's add some texts. I'm going to say weekend plans. This is what the video will look like. Let's p. That is so cute. And I'm going to save it as a draft. 6. Advanced Techniques (Overlap while shooting): I'm just getting my crops ready. I'm chopping up pieces of banana. I have toast, and then I have peanut butter ready. The toast will come into frame. Peanut butter will get spread on top. Then little bananas will pop on, honey will drizzle, and then I'll take a bite. The concept that I'm going to shoot is going to be a plate coming into frame in stop motion, a piece of toast pops on. It gets peanut butter spread. Then little bananas pop on one by one, honey drizzles. That is all in stop motion, and then I will be sitting here, just sipping out of my mug in video. Once that has all animated in front of me, I'm going to put my mug down, pick up the piece of toast and take a bite. I am interacting with the stop motion. But only once the animation portion is done. Because of that, I am going to shoot the animation first so that it lands right where I need it. Then I will begin shooting the live action portion where I'll just sit here and pretend something's animating in front of me, put my drink down and grab the piece of toast. This is what we call a drop off because the stop motion gets dropped off and then I interact with it in the video. There are also tons of ways you could shoot a pick up where it's the opposite. In video, let's say I'm sipping my drink, I put this down and then the mug animates doing something. Even though I am going to be interacting with the stop motion scene in the beginning of the video when that stop motion is happening and I'm in live action video, I need to respect the boundary line of stop motion versus live action. That's going to be this table. I do not want to cross over this while I'm sipping my drink because that's where the animation is happening. And then after I'll wait about five, 10 seconds, then I'll be able to cross over and take a bite. And that way, it'll look like a seamless, really fun video. I'm going to get up and make sure my camera is set up, the settings are all ready and hit record. First, I am going to tap where I'll be sitting, lock the exposure, focus, and auto white balance, and then I'm going to press record. I move this away a little bit. Okay. So the plate is going to start out of frame. There's some crumbs on the table, whoops. And now I'm going to start animating. Okay. Now I'm going to pop the toast on. I'm going to spread peanut butter on. Trying not to move the bread. I'll do like that, and then I'll add a little more. It's if the bread moves a little bit because peanut butter is getting spread on a little bit more. On the edges. Okay. Now I will pop the bananas on. Maybe one more little one on the end here. Now we'll drizzle the honey. This might not show up great in the stop motion, but we'll see. Just going to stop there and then have another frame where it continues on. Now my stop motion is done and it's time to do the live action video part. My hands are a little sticky, but that's okay. Okay. So I'm just going to pretend I'm sitting here sipping my drink and watching this animate. That delicious. Now, we're going to stop the recording. Now, let's go edit. Okay. So my video ish. I will click next. And first, let's extract the sto. Okay. M. You get our video clip. Okay. Now it's time to mask, so we'll click mask, and we are going to I'm going to do a relatively hard mask right around where the stop motion happens. And then I will feather it around the outside. Okay. So we can shorten the video clip. Okay. So let's go to our timeline and shorten the video. T. That'll be good. What we need to do here is use the move tool. Right at that moment, my hand reaches in. If we click move. This top layer shows my stop motion video and where that little cycle button is is where the stop motion decides to loop and repeat. And instead, we're going to trim it down and move it so that the stop motion stops right when it finishes, and that way when I go reach in, as you can see right there. There is no more stop motion happening and there's no longer that mask, and it works seamlessly. So when this stop motion mask ends, the live action video then takes up the full screen. Great. We can even make our stop motion, go a little bit slower so that those end at the same time. Did it jump. So now I'm adjusting and moving it to be right when it ends actually a bit too slow, so we need to make it speed up just a bit. So really, I'm just playing around in here. So snap it right there. T Then I grab it perfect. Another tool you might want to try is if your stop motion video and live action when that cut happens and the stop motion is no longer shown, if there's a big change in lighting or anything. You might want to try using this Fade tool, which is this little button right here, and then you can choose to fade the stop motion out before it's completely not shown rather than just jumping to live action video. But you'll see here in that Fade, it's way too slow. It's like fading while the animation is still happening. What you would need to do is go into your stop motion. And at the very last frame add a freeze for 3 seconds. Now we need to stretch out all the way to that point where it cycles and then our fade. Well, then our fade might work. Let's see. That works. Now, I'm also going to clean up my mask a little bit. I'm just going to erase some of the mask over here because nothing really happens. Perfect. Now, I also want to adjust the color. It's a little bit dark since there's definitely a lot of light behind me. I'll increase the brightness and then I'll continue editing some color in light room or you can do whatever preferred editing app you use. I can actually just copy the edits that I did on this video and put them on this new one and see if they look good. Yeah. Much better. I think I'll bring out the shadows even more. Okay. Okay. Same. Now, same thing. Let's just bring it into Instagram and see what it looks like with us. So I'm going to add a new real. Add audio. Let's see what other. It's a trending song if it has that little up arrow. Happy meal. That should work. Okay. Okay. Here's what it looks like. I love it. Aside from my cheesy acting, it's great. 7. Idea Generation: Now that you know the technique of how to create a Life lapse. The question is, what should you shoot that fits your brand or small business? I created this chat GBT plug in that you can use. First download the PDF attached to this lesson and then go to chatbt.com. It's free to use. You don't even need an account, and just copy and paste the prompt from the PDF right into C chat GBT. Here it is in action. I built it in a way that will customize it for you and your audience. I've asked it to ask you more about what your brand does, who your audience is, what your tone is, and it will generate you a bunch of ideas. It will provide the stop motion element and the live action portion, and it'll also give you two viral hook ideas for the start of each video in case you want to use them. Another way to get inspiration is just by searching on Instagram and seeing what other creators are making. The goal here is not to copy other people, but to draw inspiration. For example, this concept with the chip lighting on fire, that concept is something going from raw to cooked with an element in between. How can you apply that, not necessarily with potato chips, but with anything else? If you do get inspired by someone, please tag them, give them a shout out, that's always nice to do. The last place to get inspiration is from these featured creators. These are some of my favorite stop motion artists. They are great at their craft, and they will get your wheels turning on what the possibilities are with stop motion. 8. 1 Month Free to Life Lapse Pro Features: You want to get one month free to all the pro features inside the LifeLps app. Just click this link or use the QR code, and you're good to go. 9. What's Next?: Congrats, you did it. I am so proud of you and I cannot wait to see the videos that you create. Please be sure to post them on social media and tag me at collet dot Perry, and use Hashtag Life lap so that I can see your videos, and you can also look through that hashtag and get inspiration from your fellow classmates. I hope you feel so confident in this new skill and start mixing video and stop motion whenever the inspiration sparks. Don't forget that the more practice you have, the better your videos will be. I know that sounds obvious, but especially with this type of video, the more you just start shooting them and getting the hang of it, the more you'll really be able to conceptualize when this type of video works and how to make your videos better and better each time. I was first starting with stop motion, I reached out to other creators. I was struggling to figure out how to make my work better, and nobody was really sharing anything. I hope that this course is valuable to you in just pulling back the curtains and showing you step by step, how to create this type of captivating video. Because my career, eventually, as I took years and years to figure this stuff out, took off, and I now work with so many incredible brands and get to be creative every day. My hope for you is that you'll take what you've learned in this class and you'll keep practicing and improving your craft and having fun with it, and you never know where it might take you.
