I never knew animations had this great of quality in 2009.

This is proof that this video is useful: this was uploaded more than 4 years ago, and people are still commenting on how useful it is. You done good, Jordan. You done good.

What I was basically saying is that you want to make sure the shake isn't too out of control and wild. It's important that you can still tell what's going on. By keeping the action in the middle of the shot, it helps to keep the shake in control. It's really just a matter of trying it yourself.

do a stop animation on the clones (Gus and Bridge) in the battle field in a real battle

Your tutorials are some of the best tutorials I've ever seen, and this was made in 2009! I love all of your videos, and you're fantastic at helping others learn. Thank you for this!

you are practically the best animator on youtube: your animations are basicsally flawless

One of the best parts about your films are the smooth camera movements. If I ever make another Lego film, I'm sure it will be heavily inspired by this.

Yeah! ❤

this guy makes REALLY useful tutorials (unlike most of the people). They're like the backbone of ALOT of my brickfilms.

This was very helpful!

You're by far the best invidual lego star wars stop motion maker i've watched, known for aloong time, i see a great future for you.

Thanks fancypants, dont stop being awesome!

Terrific job! I really like how the camera followed the punches on The Game. Very productive. This tutorial is very helpful. Keep it up. 5/5

thank you for all your frame by frame videos and your tutorials your really good!

Wow...that was EPIC !!!:D 5/5 Keep up the cool vids! Tutorial was great, learned lots!

Thanks for all the tutorials. Our family projects are really improving a lot!

this has been really helpful! thanks for uploading!

Thanks, my camera movement for my stop motion has improved greatly.

@Saminatorger it's a Panasonic PV-GS320. I got it a few years ago from a local camera store.

Some really neat ideas here. Very helpful. Thanks for posting :)

One of the best helps I've seen :) Thx! 5 stars

congrats for winning thefourmonkeys Brickfilm contest! You totally deserved it! :)

Good tutorial! I have no doubt that it'll be helpful. Thanks again for taking the time to make this. As someone else mentioned earlier, a tutorial on lighting would be awesome. =D

hey thanks heaps for the help :), i got a tripod for Christmas, and i will probably make a few tests and experiment with these techniques. thanks again dude!

This is a very good tutorial. Thank you for uploading it. :-D This will help me out a lot. :-)

very nice ive been waiting for this lol

Some really useful tips! Thanks for that.

Thanks man, I was always wondering if there was some special way to do the shaky cam. But the way you describe it seems easy enough with practice.

epic montage at the beginning nice tutorial

This was really helpful dude! cheers!

This is great. I gonna need this on Shadow Squad.

wow thats awesomeee!!!!

Ha ha, I wondered if anyone would get that reference :D

A great way to do it is also to move your base plate and keep the cam steady.

U are so soso awesome!! Like the video!! :D U rawk!!! I am already a fan of u after watching all you videos!!!

I think I learned everything I know from you.

Thank you! Finally, I can do camera movements. 5/5

Thank you so much,this has helped me *ALOT*

LOL 'try it your self' -- Art Attack man, i havn't seen that show in ages... Any ways Great Vid!

Very very nice and useful tutorial. :D

I personally think that the polly would work using a custom small lego cam holder on a table because it's kinda frustrating to move a whole big tripod in tiny movements

1:29 WHOAH! Did you just go Italian on us?

I'm filming some brick films using a 4th Generation iPod. The way I make my cam move is by building a platform with lego wheels at the bottom. It works very well.

your videos are awesome!!!!!!!

Amazing!

BEST STOPMOTHION EVER

Thanks for the help, I was really wondering about the shaky cam...now it doesn't seem as hard!

Cool!

I always have my camera on a tripod, which makes it easy to make slight adjustments to create the shaky cam effect.

You're a true guru.

awesome man

StormTrooper: GIRV US TEH CARNDY! *POINTS GUN AT SHOOTS* Dude: hits the shelf and falls to ground

Well done, thanks. (liked it)

hey fancypants thanks a lot this will help me a lot thanks again!!

@MrHenners12 If you want it to look smooth, yes.

@legofisto10 on that shot Darth Maul is actually just held against the wall with clay :P

@stupidlegos101 it's an iMovie song. If I remember correctly it's called Breakbeat, but I'm not too sure.

epic intro!

this will really help me, thanks

i will defiantly use this!

I think you do a great job and I have enjoyed all of your LEGO videos so far. I am wanting to start making some stop motion videos myself and I found your tutorials great. I was wondering if you had any advise on lighting and perspective that you could give. Sometimes when I am trying to take pictures of my LEGOs I will get awful glare from some pieces or things will turn grainy because it is too dark. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

thx this helps a lot, i usually use my iphone for my stop motions

Great dude! Just pure awesome! you are better than blobstudios!

Dude please help where can I get a camera stand?? Like a pan???

Ya, that's definitely one way of doing it!

so cool!!!!!!!

Good tutorial. I just already knew how to do that stuff. XD I just won't usually. I use shaky and pan sometimes. Hardly ever use dolly. Here's one other type of camera movement. Kinda like shaky just better for explosions. Shake your camera or tripod while your taking pictures. It looks blurry and like an explosion if you stay close enough to the main figures or sets section.

thank you i need these movements

@MrSillyGreenApple you could use a ruler so you can measure exactly how far you move it each time.

this is very helpful thanks

thank you i need those camera movements for my vids

WOAH! I saw the pictures and I think I might have the same camera.

thanks ill remember to use this!

thank you for this video!!

@Saminatorger yeah it is possible, but I just think that a tripod makes it a lot easier.

thanks this really helped

This videos is epic

@yomiatot well done: it is indeed a must!

very cool

Thanks i think this will help me. :)

thanks for the tips

Thanks it helped ;D

Good tutorial. Do you ever move the whole set instead of the camera to create similar effects? Cause I've done it, before, and it turns out great for chase scenes and such.

LOL, nevermind about it. Now you learned :P And again, he is so ARSOME!!!!

this vid is really useful in some way it's very easy to master it's just being patient to do it. That's why i love stop motion animation all together. How many shots would it take you to do a standard scene, and video?

Thank you so much! I've attempted the pan/dolly shot somewhat, I think, but never the shaky camera. I always figured it took more than that... I'll definitely have to start trying it. What kind of tripod do you use? Is it one of those compact mini ones, or is it a regular sized one? I have both, but I'd like to know which one you use to achieve that effect.

really helpful, thanks

@TIVOnetwork Make sure you're using a decently high frame rate, I'd recommend at least 12 fps.

awesome

1. The brand is Optex. 2. Don't bump it. There's not really anything else to it.

Thank you very much !!! =D

Thank you!

cool, thanks

Webcams cannot usually attach to a tripod, and as stated in the tutorial, Tripods are very important in camera movement. So webcams probably won't work, however webcams can be good for close up shots, for example the deck of a ship.

nice!

Yeah! ❤

YOU ARE SO ARSOME!!!!!!! :D

very helpful thx

Hm... Ok, great tutorial btw!

I use the Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 too, but I have a way of panning. See, I got a lego studios set that comes with a track made for the lego camera that comes with it. (Of course, I don't use THAT camera) So I duct tape the Quickcam on there and I'm ready to go! I haven't actually got a chance to try it yet, but I think it'll work! Also, with the Shaky Camera effect, there's a website called "NewBlueFX" and you can buy an effect for Sony Vegas (which I have) that makes it shaky in editing.BYE!

Yay i get a pat on the back!!
