You Outta Be in Pictures! (dolls on film)

There is someone who posts in the galleries who does gorgeous stop motion movies with their dolls, off the top of my head I can't remember their username, but if you do a search, you should find them There's a really lovely one with little fidgety wings

I think if Trys was gonna be in a movie, it'd need to be something deeply 70's and involve lots of dancing and music of the rock persuasion He'd probably do well playing a wannabe rockstar...something like Almost Famous hehe He'd so totally audition too!

Stumble...well, he's a mod, so he'd probably do well in Quadrophenia remake with a pimped up scooter *goes off to ponder scale vespas on ebay*

 

ive done a few stopmotion videos myself and i have uploaded them onto youtube. The person that lulu was talking about is cloudtrader. but if you type "dollfie" on youtube the videos come up.

I always love seeing the stop-motion videos people put up - it's obvious that a lot of time and effort goes into them, and you can really appreciate all the dedication the owner has had to complete it.

*laughs* ...Well, Ilú did once try to film and star in his own 'adult' movie for two friends of his (for purely instructional purposes, he hastens to add!) Fortunately his boyfriend quickly put an end to that, but I don't think he'd be above trying it again, sometime...

I think my other guys would be more wary of having their faces caught on film, though. They wouldn't want anything like this.

 

Narin doll has done a brilliant stop motion film. You can find that here if you haven't seen it already. Just scroll down to 'Love is...'
I could watch it over and over again, it's so amusing and sweet

If Hayes was in a movie, he'd be the best friend of the main character. The one with advice, but stays kind of off in the background. Or he'd be the weird Australian, with the funny accent. Possibly even comic relief.

Eiji would be in any movie. If it means having his face on TV, he's there. Double points if he naked and/or dancing on said TV.

 

ACCURSED WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH!

http://www.darkstrider.net/gallery2a.html Here... look at the Briar Rose clips! I typed som ething more eloquent before, but this webpage is killing me. Anyway, this was a stopmotion that got me certain that I wanted a ABJD (I know Briar Rose isn't an ABJD, but she's very close. Once I get some more sewing done, I might get back into the stop-motion. Before I have only done it with little art mannequins, and action figures.

 

I'm really not sure if we're allowed to plug other places on here, but suffice to say there is a whole forum where the more...um..."delicate" subjects are covered Let's put it that way

 

I'm a huge fan of stop animation film :3 I wish I knew how to do it ^_^;

As for dolls...well, I have none yet, but I do have the characters that will be turned into dolls in my head, and I'd have to say that everyone but Zi would have a wonderful time doing any movie (and he would too, but just wouldn't tell you). Most likely it would be a homemade movie of the Indie type involving pizza, school, Seb and Col "coming out", Bree getting Zi to take her to prom, and grocery cart rides down tall hills in said prom outfits :p

 

i just did my very first stop animation the other night. More or less just testing to see how difficult it really is. It was suprisingly easy and it goes by a LOT faster than a real photoshoot. ^_^

Hers's the link to Kochan's video:

Shin would probably be in some kind of la-la land movie where everything is rainbows and unicorn farts, whereas Sil would be in those dark, scary kinds. xD

 

Ryu would be in a horrow film and he'd be the one who goes and investgates the funny noises. Aw...He would die.

 

^^; I've made a short very bad little stop animation clip.....
gonna do longer and better ones when I have a better camera, better light
and a tripod...^^; shot it from a chair....

I'm also a film student, actually lol. And I'm in stop motion classes as well. I have done this, several times actually. It was one of the original reasons why I told my parents I wanted to collect these dolls ^^; They do work for stop motion, and you can get a wide range of emotion from them. However, the hardest part I find is that, while they can hold a pose very easily, in order to animate smoothly, you need to be able to move them in small increments. I wired, sueded, and built an armature to hold my Soulkid in poses for a piece; it worked, to a degree, but it is still very time consuming. I do intend on using my dolls in more animation pieces; however, I use them more as test objects for lighting or camera movements as I'm scared that they'll fall during filming and break something O.o

I've seen the Narindoll animation piece and I think it's great. He had to put in armatures in the dolls as well; I think our teacher said the rough figure for one of that size would be somewhere in the three thousand range? For a poor film student like me...that's pretty much not gonna happen. But it is nice to know that, with the right equipment, you can get some great, smooth animation with these dolls.

 

^^; ...a tripod would be much better....if not for the movie then for
my mood.......it was really annoying trying to take photo's when the
camera swished around on the chair...^^;...getting most of the photo's
blurry.....(and I didn't know most of the photos had gotten blurry until
I uploaded them on computer...they looked okay on the camera screen >_< )
I used the regular Windows Movie Maker.....that should be on most new
computers with Microsoft Windows XP...^^;

...^^ I've had a lot more then the ones' I've got now ^^;
