Reddog1027 (author) from Atlanta, GA on March 24, 2015: I need to repair a thin layer of plaster on a frame, how do you make the plaster harder and that it will stick to the frame You want it to be as even as possible so it will fit snugly onto the frame. Use it to level the bottom edge of the mold. Now here comes another use for the chopstick. This makes the plaster easier to remove from the mold. Now, spray the molds again with the cooking spray. When you have smooth, bubble-free plaster that is about the consistency of pancake batter, it's time to get rolling.
#HOW TO MAKE PHOTO FRAME WITH CLAY FULL#
Mixing the plaster is the trickiest part because if you stir the plaster too hard, it gets full of bubbles, and these bubbles will harden in the mold ruining it. If it is the consistency of pancake batter, it will be just about right. The Plaster of Paris needs to be thin enough to pour easily but not watery. But depending on how much frame there is to repair, 1/4 to 1/2 a cup should be more than enough.Īdd the water a little at a time, stirring well. I don't measure I just put in what looks right. I like to use clear plastic disposable cups.
#HOW TO MAKE PHOTO FRAME WITH CLAY MOVIE#
Also remember to save your movie regularly or better still use an auto save function if your software has it.Mix up a small amount of Plaster of Paris in a small container. Some software has a loop function which can be useful. Remember that all movements must be small so the animation is smooth and flowing To finish out a scene take twelve to fifteen frames. When you want to make your character blink just take 3 frames with the eye closed (at 15 fps ) so that means seven to eight frames for example between characters talking back and forth to each other. Its normal to capture one frame per movement but you can experiment with two frames if you wish.Ī pause usually lasts a half a second. But also remember 15 frames is only 1 second at 15 fps. This is sometimes called setting the scene. If you really want smooth results than you can try 20 frames per second.Ĭapture 12 to 15 frames when introducing or opening a scene before your characters animate or move. You can get very good results with 15 frames per second. Stick figures are fine.you do not have to be a good artist. You can sketch on your storyboard images for the various events.
The storyboard can act as a bullet point record of the events that take place in your stop motion animation.Įstimate the length of time (in seconds ) for the various events in your animation. Scribble it on a piece of paper if needed. It does not have to be complicated or well drawn. Watch those legs or supports as the model you make has to able to stand up on its own.Īlthough it is a difficult discipline do create a storyboard of some kind. with bold features.no arms / legs yet full of life. See the fantastic Aardman “Purple and Brown” characters. Although many stop motion characters may merge the head and body into one for example and have no legs or arms at all.Įnsure the features are easily seen by the viewer. You only need a few body features to animate. There is some advise here on the best clay to use for claymation. All clays are not equal when it comes to creating simple clay characters.
