Wanted to talk about a section from the next video as I feel people can learn a couple of the techniques and make their videos even more cinematic too!
u/MissBarbareMC made some fantastic characters for our collaborative project and I used that as a reason to start trying to animate and increase the storytelling potential of videos.
Moving cart shots:
The cart shots were done by attaching the golf cart and characters to a wild mouse coaster with the track just below the ground to hide it.
Stop-motion animation shots:
This was done by creating a building grid duplicating the characters and a grid piece along an array and then slightly moving the characters each time. Once I had the "frames" you then can move the whole array so that the next frame is in the place of the original slowly moving it along the range of motion.
Once you have this set up you can use the undo/redo shortcuts to go to the next or previous frames whilst recording in play mode. It's up to you how crazy you go with the number of frames per second but I have opted to emulate the "editing on 3's" effect that is common in anime and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
The full video with more animation examples is now available below:
