Stop Motion Tutorial: Build a Set! Part One
Фильм және анимация
Interior stop motion set construction is covered in this tutorial as I build a miniature kitchen. The principles and techniques apply to just about any structural set need, as part one explores methods for planning a set, creating the structures, and painting. This is low-budget filmmaking with suggested alternatives for even smaller budgets. But we also look at creativity and style to make the best of whatever materials we have on hand.
Please see my other tutorials on how to make a puppet, Lego animation, cut-outs, lip sync, facial animation, and other stop motion subjects: • Stop Motion Tutorials
Just about everything I used to make the set featured in this video was purchased at Michael’s, an arts and craft store. Most of it can also be purchased on amazon. Some of the miniature props are doll toys available on eBay.

man, I've been having warped cardboard sets for over a year and NEVER thought to paint the other side. thanks so much!!!!
Every stop motion show needs some sets like houses, shops, a city or town and many buildings.
Call your friends. Michael Parks is back.

This was incredible direction and gave us a place to start with our set builds. You're an incredible source of info and inspiration!! 🙏
All of Michael Park's videos are so helpful and fun to watch.
I LOVE this channel. You are exactly what I'm looking for. Keep up the fantastic work!
This helped a lot thx!
Thanks so much just started using foam board for sets and the hint to paint the back is surely a frustration saver.
Great video! Thanks for the tip on painting both sides of the foam board. That's been a continuing issue for me in the past. Now I'm more confident in starting my set! Thanks!
you're incredible, going to be watching these everyday!
Keep em coming. Love all your vids
Thank you soo much for all these amazing tutorials. I always find them helpful and they are really easy to understand . I look forward to future videos!

Thanks, I've been trying to figure out how to build sets for my pipe cleaner characters and tried all sorts of things. Thanks for the idea of adding perspective of outside things to your sets.
This was great! Love the budget friendly options!😄

How about using tie downs to secure furniture? I tried this out and it seems to work fine.
Thanks the hardest part sometimes is making a good set
Dude you haven’t uploaded in a while it’s been like 4 months and you finally uploaded
Thank you to idea
Could you make a tutorial about making more complicated sets. I’m thinking about making city. Please respond
Can you do a video or some advice on how to hide tie downs when animating.

It will be covered in part 2. I use a bit of tape that is painted the same color as the floor.
I’ve always found this hard

Hey michael can you teach how to make a complete chracter and how to make eyes but with oyt stickers and how to make armature but more upgrded
You mention tie-downs. I understand the idea, but how to you not see the tie-down hole on the floor of your set? Thanks for continuing to upload helpful videos. They are really great.

I use pieces of masking tape that is painted the same color as the floor. After a while, it is necessary to fill in the wholes with patching material and repaint. It's a lot of work, I know, but it's how it's done at the studios I've worked at. Some use magnets, but I haven't tried that.
Bro please tell me more about claymation
How long does it take to make the set? I envy your skill in creating a delicate set. I tried to make a stop motion shooting set. But it wasn't cooler than I thought. I have to look at your video and think again.

This took a couple weeks as a side project. Most of my sets are just one painted wall with a few props or pieces of furniture. Maybe just start with that.

What set up do you advise for a stop motion work space? any tips on work space? table shape? thickness? table legs? I am looking to remodel a room into my first studio
@MichaelParks

I suggest a plywood top of 1/2"-3/4" with a 2x4 frame and legs, with additional reinforcement on the legs to prevent every bit of wobbling. Size and shape has to do with space available, noting that you need space all around the table for lights, supports, and your own access to every part of the set.
I'm going for something like a shed or... Pink. Pink isn't usually a sorta theme, but... Barbie. Not real Barbie, but, a Barbie sculpted by me Shed for my snufboi.
To paint a foam board, what type of color should be used? And specific kind or just the color we use to paint our houses?

So do I paint the back of the board or the front first?

Each wall is framed with 1"x2"s so they can be screwed down onto the floor of the set. They can also be screwed to each other, though I found duct tape would keep them secure as well. When I have just one wall, I still find that screwing it down works fine, but some additional support from L-brackets or a back support would be good, too.

Have you ever attempted at using 3D printers for stop motion puppets and sets? or that would be too expensive and ineffective?
@MaximilianonMars

I'm working on that myself, using printers and 3D software to design parts. I bought assets that I liked from CGtraders to save time modelling and sculpting custom things. There is a bit of a learning curve for printing, but it's a lot of fun once you learn the basic rules. Check my channel for a clear Gospel presentation reuploaded from a trustworthy pastor. You can be 100% certain you're going to heaven when you die because salvation is the free gift of God, we absolutely cannot earn it with our "good" works.

Hello i have suscribe and Like
But wouldn't you have to hot glue the furniture parts? When I tried animating a few times they would constantly jiggle around, and if I do glue them firmly together, then I would have to find a way to take them off later without causing too much damage....
@MichaelParks

To glue plastic or wood furniture down, I put a small piece of tape on both the furniture and the floor or wall (both out of view of the camera) and put the glue on the tape. The glue holds the furniture in place while the tape protects the surfaces.

Hello, thanks for this very useful video. I am just starting to make realistic and higher budget claymations after years of silly ones that did not have a complex set. If anyone would like to see my work, I would appreciate that and any feedback.
