Last week, we showed you how to build the $10 Stop-Motion Puppet. So, this week, we are going to show you how to make a miniature Stop Motion Set and some techniques for shooting. I have decided to recreate my backyard from Oakland, and since we have a little Eric and a little backyard, we are going to need a little Gary and a little wheel of prosperity. But before we get started, we are going to have our tiny Gary, spin our tiny wheel prosperity and determine our little budget.

Yes! $10.00 again.

Here is what you will need for this build: some cardboard boxes, a wooden dowel, some wooden scurries from the grocery store, wax paper, something has a base. I found this foam board lying around the office, and the acrylic paper at the roof from last week.

Start with your base for the mark offer, you are going to want buildings or structures. Once I have a general plan, I started cutting up boxes and building walls. Remember that you do not have to build the whole thing, just two or three sides. The fence is just made up of more cardboard. Drawing lines and trimming with scissors adds detail. The roof is even more cardboard, held in place with a pen Watson tape. At this point, I have attached the clip light to the interior of the house. Using a ruler I will mark up in windows and then cut. To add the fusion, all tape and two layers of wax paper behind the windows. Drawing lines in the back side of this, makes it look like a mini Venetian blinds. After Hack gluing the wooden scours as a window dress up, we are ready for paint. The mini wheels of the yogurt lid with a paint job and the length of the dowel as the base. Mini Gary shirt and skin were cut from the real Gary. Then Hack glued on the watered up newspaper.
Most of you probably, already have some idea of how stop animation works. You take a picture; move your model a little bit. Take your picture, move your model, repeat, repeat, repeat. Then, when you put this hundreds of pictures together in your editing program, it looks like your character is moving. I also use the free program called the frame thief to help with the test film but for more techniques on Stop Animation, check out this Friday’s episode of Weekend Extra.
