Transcripts

1. Hello :): Okay guys, Welcome to this class. Okay, I'm so excited to meet you all in this class. I will explain to you step-by-step to create the stop-motion video using your own smartphone, you don't have to protest the expensive smartphone just to create a creative stop-motion video. Okay? You also don't have to invest too many props because in stop-motion video, we only focused on the movement of our main object. And then also, I'll explain to you about the lighting. We use the position of the light thing. So you guys just can follow every single step-by-step. And then you can also do IY in your home. Okay. So then we will look at the next section. I will explain to you about the tools we use that we have to prepare before we issued the stop-motion video. See you in the next section. 2. Choose Your Phone & Your App!: Okay guys, hello. In this section, I will explain to you about the smartphone you have to use for this entire section. You don't have to worry because you don't have to invest extremely expensive smartphone, okay? Just use whatever smartphone you have right now. Because actually for the smartphone we use in this section, we only use the smartphone under $200, okay? So I think it's quite affordable for you. If you have purchased this course, then I believe that your phone is more than Two, $100 again. And many people say that the more expensive a smartphone, if you compare apple to apple with the cheaper smartphone, then the more expensive smartphone looks better. Yes, I agree with that. But if you shoot this one, given you, you are using witness cheaper smartphone, but you use it with the proper lighting. I believe the result will be better. Okay. So you don't have to worry if you don't have like so expansive smartphone the years. And then I will explain to you about the apps, the camera apps in your phone that you have to use. Okay. We have compare a couple of apps out there. When we're shooting. We have the stop-motion video. And then we found that we prefer using the professional mode instead of the automatic mode. Okay? Why? Because the automatic mode in our camera will change the color if we another object in our frame, like for example, you can see in the scene in my right side, we pick this one, but motion picture using the automatic mode. And then you can see that when I have my hand in the frame, then the color will be changed for the empire picture. Okay. There is something we don't want because it will make inconsistency of the color for the entire picture. Okay, so if you are using the professional mode, even if you add another object, you add your hand in the frame, then the color will keep consistent. That is the result that we want. So for this one, actually, if your phone have the professional mode, then you can use the professional mode in your phone. But if you are confused, how to set your camera phone or the professional mode, then I suggest you to install that. Adopt light room. Yeah. In my right side, you can browse the n-doped Lightroom and then you can install this one. I know that some of you have already familiar with this apps because maybe some of you have already added a picture using this app, but you have to know that this app also have the camera mode. So it also has a feature to take a picture using these apps. And then it also have the professional mode, okay? So if you open the app and then in the bottom you can see that there's camera logo there. And then just press that button and then you can, in the menu below, you can see that there's more than you can change from the output to professional. Okay? That mode that we want to use for the entire session. Yeah. So we can get the consistent result. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's my explanation about the camera we use and then also the app we use more the Photoshop and then our explain to you another tapes more delighting in the next section. 3. Choose Your Props & Background!: Okay guys, In this section, I will show you the preparation for us when we are doing the stop-motion video. Yeah. Actually, for the slot machine, it is very simple. You don't have to like use many kind of props. Yeah, because all we wanted to show is just the motion of our main product here. So we have the popcorn product here. And then the only motion we want to create the story is we want to show the real corn first and then it turns to this product. And then we will also show the popcorn in sign this one inside of this product. Yeah, the story we wanted to tell and then because we just want to show the motion, then we prevent anything that it's not moving at all. Okay. So I don't use like the cutting board. I don't use any props that I don't move it. Okay. And then for the background, I used the word color like this. Yup. And then you have to make sure that the surface of the board as the off, so it will look better when the lightning hits this background. Okay. Then actually for the stop motion, I really like this kind of background. I'm in the color background for me and it's the best background for the stop motion. Why I prevent using the textural background for the stop motion, for example, like textural background like this one. Usually I don't use this one for desktop machine because like if you see the texture, but it is not moving at all, then it will distract the motion. Okay? So because the only thing I want to show is the motion of the object here. And then the static Baxter that it has not moved. Oh, I don't need it. Okay, So I prefer this one with no texture at all, but Duff surface. So our motion will be very, very feasible. Okay. Yeah, that's my tips for the background and the preparation, and the next one for the color. Okay, so I suggest you also have to plan about the color. For this one, I used a technique called monochromatic. As you can see, color wheel right here. And then for the monochromatic technique, then you only use the color that's slightly similar. Okay, so I used the yellow, the orange, and the light yellow in this popcorn. And the advantage of monochromatic technique for our scene right here. Yes. It will be very simple or the whole picture. And then the fewer won't be distracted at chew, the color. That is not really matters, because the only thing we want to show is the movement of the object, not the color itself. For this, we use the monochromatic technique. Then let's move to the next section. I will explain to you about the light. 4. Light Your Food!: Hey guys, in this section, I will explain to you about the only thing we really used for the empire tension for today. Okay? So this is the continuous like thing. Then if you want to search through the marketplace in your country, then you just add type continuous like D. Then you will find the model like this. It is already one package with the likes ten here. So usually if you want to make the light things softer, It's just put the cover like this. But for this scene, I want you to make the lighting more harsh so the shadow will be more visible because we should end the color beggar here. So for me, when I issued this handler background here, instead of, I get rid of all of the shadow, I want you to make the shadow more harsh in the scene. So it will look more three-dimensional and the texture will be very feasible. Okay? So I'll just open the cover here so the lighting will be harsh. And then I also put paper here. Okay. Wait, I'll show you. Okay. Yeah. As you can see, it's just ordinary light bulb here and then I put a paper here so the lighting will be more focused. Yeah. So does share though we'll be more harsh in because of the setting. Okay, So as you can see, this is just like ordinary lamb with the button here to turn on and turn off the leg knee. And then it will be very simple to use in your home. Okay. So I think it will be very practical for you. So yeah, that is my introduction about the lighting here. Okay, guys. And then this section, I will explain to you about the lighting position for this scene. Okay. So yeah, we only use one light thing here and then the position for the lighting, the distance between our main product here, lighting there. Yeah, the distance here, it's about 60 centimeter. And then the distance here. The last thing is about 70 centimeter. And in the Hague different between the light thing to our object here, 50s anti-matter. Okay. Yeah. I purposefully make the shadow looks diagonal to make it look better. Okay. Then I have another tip for you. When you should think of motion like this. You have to make sure that the beggar is very clean. You don't want to end up like when you have finished your photo shoot and then you see that there's some spots that have to be clean and then you end up at it like 100 picture just to remove one part that S I'm convenient for you. Okay? So just make sure that the background is very clean. And for these kind of what ******** I'm in for this pump motion like this. Usually I prefer the seamless background like this. Like no texture at all. Just plain color. And just make sure the surface or the background is dark. Yeah. It's not gloss for this one. I use the board material here, but you can also use the paper. Okay. Yeah. And then for my smartphone position here, yes. I used the boom Stan and then I use the mounting for the smartphone. This is the brand I use for the mounting for my smartphone here. But you can also choose another one that is available in your country and in your marketplace near you? Yeah. I think it doesn't matter since it is quiet table. Yes. That's my explanation about the lighting position and some tips for you. Then let's move to the next section. 5. Photoshoot Session: Okay guys, In this lecture, I will explain to you how we should the swan. Actually, this is our smartphone and then we shoot our smartphone like this, just to show you how it looks like when we are doing a photo shoot and then how we do the stop motion. It is very easy. It's just we picked many picture with the small, for every small movement. Just move a little. Then take another picture and then move and then pay another picture? Yes, I'll repeat this one. And maybe we can pay like a boat until 100 picture. Yeah. Take every small movement. Yeah. For the first scene, we take only the corn. Yeah. The current movement like this. Yeah, actually in this scene, as you can see that the middle here is killed a lethal, but you don't have to worry. Actually for this promotion, we will add the 100 pictures into seven seconds. So yep. One mistake in one picture don't really met third, yeah, after we must the corn and then the next movement is, we want to use our hand and we tap to the court and the court will turn into the products. So as you can see, we move our hand yeah, little movement and then take one shop for every single movement. And then this is the interesting part when we touch the corn, that we change the corn into the product and make sure that your hand doesn't move at all. So maybe you need an assistant to change the corn here. Okay. Makes sure your hand doesn't move, okay? Yep. K. And then while we take off our hands, then we want you to feel the surrounding with the popcorn. Maybe I just add like Penn popcorn for one picture. Okay, I at Penn and I pick one another picture. I had a pen popcorn and then I take another picture until it feels our frame. Okay. I thought you'd take the picture, you pull the hand and then take the popcorn. Then take the picture, the hand, and then add another popcorn and repeat the scene until you pull all of your hand off this picture and then there's only the product and the popcorn. Yeah. Then our last scene, yes, we will make the movement of the popcorn. Yeah. It should give the variation for the popcorn here. Yeah. We change the position and take another picture. Change the position a little and then take another picture. Yes, after we spread the popcorn. And then the next movement is we want to make the popcorn move to the, nearer to the packaging in the center. So we move the popcorn to the center and then take another picture and move another and then take another picture. Yes. I think we almost done. Yeah. Please be deep tale. Yeah. Look into detail. You can check to make sure that there's no popcorn in the background. Yeah. Then we already done with the Photoshop. And let's move to the next section. 6. The Result!: Okay, guys. Yes, this now we have done our photoshoot for the stop motion and then before I show you the result, okay. Yeah. First of all, when you're Photoshop like this, you'll have to make sure that you are patient enough, okay? Move it slowly, but it will be rewarding letter, okay? When you compile the picture, the result will be rewarded, okay? Yep. For this one, I take about 80 to 120 picture and you can also do around that too when you're first trying this stop motion. Okay. And then I have another tip for you when you are doing this abortion, although shoe and it will be very irritating when you do some mistake, okay. Just like when I should pull my hand but I've pulled in the wrong direction. But once you repeat that one again, right. So yeah, Actually for me, when you are doing some mistake, instead of you do it, once again, I suggest you to take this picture. Okay. I have another phone and I write like this, like the league to picture before. And then I just put it like this and then pay once again just to give instruction for me when I want to add in this picture. So I will find the wrong picture very quickly. Just like this. Yes, as you can see, this is the result and then all you can see that this one delete to picture before and then I just delete this one. And then yeah. And then I can use all the picture and yeah. Very easy. Okay. Yeah. This is just another tip for you when you are doing mistake when taking this one. Yes, next steps for you. And then here's the result of editing. Okay, So we also use the smartphone apps to add this one. And then I'll explain to you also how we ended it and then what kind of apps we use. And you can also use the app. For the apps, you can also download the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. And then the apps also free to use. So yeah, it will be very easy. And then I will explain to you in the next step. 7. The Editing: All right guys, In this video, I will explain about as software that we use for apps that we use for combining. And here the interesting things is in stop motion effect, we don't need to do editing too much because we use this software just for combining on Lee. Here, this software that we use is live labs. Actually there are a lot of application that we can use. So if you'd like exploring the other software, yes, you can figure it out. Maybe you can find the alternative and much more better than this one. But so far for now for our Lisa and we can just use these apps because we just combining only. I will add it in just one video. Because the remaining picture will through the same process. So I will add it to one video, for example, in this video. And I will not give our demo for the other materials because the process will be the same. You can install these apps first and then choose Open. And after it opened. Then we have to sign in. After sign-in. It, really so simple, we just can click the plus button and guys, after we open, it will appear something like this. And then we choose New Project. And then insert the picture, we won. You can see Design tab here to add clips to your project. So you can click the plus here and then click Import Photos. And we just vertical dimension option. Here, we just use an insert the picture, and then we click select that it will arrange the picture itself. So important. Good. Good. Here we already import all of the picture. And we can click play here to see the preview. Here. We also can adjust the sad thing. We can change the speed setting here. Yeah, so we can increase the speed. And then we play again. Make it maximum. Baby reset this bit not so fast. These apps have a lot of features. We can make a Boomer. And so if we click boomerang, it will go back again. Bossy share. When we click play and when coming into the edge, it will go back again. Yes, it will go back again. And don't forget to turn on the boomerang preview. We have to become a pro user. But don't worry, we still can save it. We just use these to set it and reduce export as video.
