First Stopmotion Test [UBER UPDATE]

This is my first stopmotion.... I think it isn't very good... but I would like to hear your opinion.

I made this within 30 minutes using just Windows Movie Maker.

Wait a minute...you did that JUST with Windows Movie Maker? Now I've seen everything...

Not bad, although next time, it would be a better idea to use MonkeyJam for your brickfilms.

Wow! Looks pretty good for a first try. I've ALWAYS wanted to do stop motion.

There's a site I know of that has some good information on stop-motion:
http://www.brickfilms.com/

Even though I don't do stop motion, I know a good tip. If you take more frames and move your minifig a VERY TINY BIT. The movie will look much more smoother.

Yup! I did download MonkeyJam... but I couldn't figure it out...

I knew that I would be scorned because I used WMM... but it works well for now....

Now all I need to do is kinda good special effects program I can use for the moviemaking....

I don't get monkeyjam. Anyway, for a first time this is very good! Better than my first time!

The comnmunity there has migrated to http://bricksinmotion.com . BF has become a ghost town and is practically dead to me.

What's not to get?

Thanks everyone!!

And does anyone know how to download sounds or get soundtracks? I did it by using my Sound Recorder and recording sounds off of Findsounds.com

And Gareth what Movie Making program do you use??

Go to dockingbay101.com or search findsounds.com on google. They're both very good sites for sound effects.

Never heard of it. Link?

I think airmp3.com has a few Star Wars soundtracks. Just search John Williams in the search boxes.

Wow! That was a really good first try! I use windows movie maker too! Woah!

Thanks everyone! I actually am working on another stopmotion project, so keep your eyes peeled!

And clone(INH) I do know about brickfilms, I went throught the wiki and the tutorials.... thanks anyway!

And Maggosh, I did know about bricksinmotion... do you have any idea why brickfilms died?

That's cool! I love the sounds.

It's just soundsnap.com. I've used it for a while now, veeery good.

All has been revealed. Click.

I made another one! I didn't feel it necessary to post a new thread though....

Again, it's difficult to realize that that was done in WMM.

I know WMM is cheap... but it is really basic and easy! And can you do the opening crawl in MonkyJam? If so tell me... I might consider using MonkeyJam... I downloaded it already....

Erm...I don't know how to tell you this...hey, I do! Well, MonkeyJam is a program designed specifically for stop-motion animation. It's completely different from WMM.

Yeah I know! That was great TB! It looks like I'm getting even MORE competition!

Interesting fact: LEGO has no plural...
It's looking good indeed...

What kind of camera did you use? I'm looking for a good video camera to get for Christmas or a digital camera with a video camera so I can make some good stop motion videos.

i would recommend either the QuickCam Pro 4000 or the QuickCam Pro 9000.

Is it a video cam webcam or camera with video cam? Also give me the manufactures site.
