Now keep in mind that even I dont have a super nice camera. These cameras cost about 500$ but they are excellent. This dslr is a bit older now but it has removable lens, connects to your computer with a mini b to usb cord, and only costs about 300$ (including a ton of accessories.) If alas you are really wanting to get him a top notch camera then I recommend a Canon in the Rebel series. My first dslr I got for stopmotion (after the webcam) was a Canon 4000D. If you are willing to spend more on the camera ( he is a very lucky boy), then you can get a dslr. The webcam was fine for my purposes back then because it was simple to use, can shoot 1080p, and was only 40$. When I was his age (I'm eighteen now) I got a webcam from my parents for stopmotion.

Studios like Aardman still use it! You can download the software straight onto the computer.Īs for the camera.

Stopmotion Pro Eclipse is a wonderful step up because it includes rig removal tools and is around 70$ I believe. This is the case unless you are willing to spend 300$ on dragon frame software for him. The "stopmotion pro eclipse" software is the best next step for him on computer. Lamps with incandescent bulbs are better than fluorescent as they won't flicker. Maybe consider buying black out blinds? You can get temporary solutions sold for helping babbies sleep when travelling etc.

So turn off auto white balance and auto exposure settings on the DSLR, and kill off all natural light which can vary over time.

Try to use all the manual settings on the camera for consistent brightness in frames. Second hand can be sensible here as most photographers want to go lighter for portability, making heavy tripods less popular. Some even have hooks for you to weigh them down.

Heavier tripods are usually targeted as "studio" tripods. Ideally you want a heavy tripod, so it wont move much if you bump it. As others have mentioned Dragonframe will certainly work but it is pro software, there is probably something cheaper out there that would be good enough. You will still need to check for compatability between the specific camera and software you select. Most software that does this will usually support downloading the images and triggering shots too. This is what makes it possible for external software to preview the next shot and overlay it with the last frame for an "onion skin" effect which is very valuable for stop motion.

Canon calls it "Live View", i think most of the Rebel series have it. Does the US receive some kickback from Canada or any other country that I dont know about? Do they receive a percentage of the income tax dollars of the sale that was made? I am not saying your wrong, just want to know why you think this.As this post highlights the key thing is to ensure whatever camera you buy supports a live video preview of the shot through the lens on the screen on the back of the camera, and that this can be accessed externally from a PC/Laptop (e.g. Be sure to give your most educated, economically based answer on why. Should we all throw away our Iphones, Ipads, and all of the other stuff that we use on a day to day basis that is made in China as well and start looking for suppliers from other countries on these products? Oh yeah, and what about those parts that your cameras are made of, arent you buying from China or Japan or wherever in an indirect way too? Does the US receive some kickback from Canada or any other country that I dont know about? Do they receive a percentage of the income tax dollars of the sale that was made? I am not saying your wrong, just want to know why you think this. Product made in Canada and sold in US help US economy lot more thenįlipping Chinese product from US to everybody else But do you really think that the most of the parts that your american or canadian suppliers are using in their equipment is Made in North America? Besides, your main product is made in Canada and you are based in the US, how is your Canadian purchase helping the US economy?
