stop animation what happens(lens)


This is an example of what happens when you use inconsistent lighting and inconsistent frame rate within stop animation. Since I am taking stills I need to work in a controlled environment (only changing one variable and keeping everything else the same) in this case the thing I am changing is the image that  is displayed to give the illusion of movement, This work is not natural looking because of the changes it goes through in the production and their is little you can do post production wise to fix it at times, it may be faster to shoot the entire thing again, the problem with that is the fact that it can take an hour to shoot 20 frames if you want to do it properly and by yourself, this process can be made faster with additional people but it is hard to find help that will not become a hindrance or  is able to align themselves with shooting times. the frame rate can be adjusted to a point, there will be a point were you wont have enough frames to get the speed you want, to avoid this its always better to have frames that you don't need rather than frames you do need but don't have. White balance on cameras is something that you need to worry about because it can leave your work looking the wrong colour, plus It is hard to change this post production because of the number of photos you will have at the end of you shoot, under exposed photographs also have the same problems as with offset colour, both can be fixed with the proper lighting techniques, mostly using 4 light sources surrounding the object is an easy way to deal with both problems.
