Instructions
Step 1
Come up with a script, any, even a homemade, plasticine film must have a plot. So that the heroes have a place to roam, give free rein to imagination.
Step 2
Choose a clay that won't stick to your hands. Mix colors, preferably with a varied palette. After all, creating a plasticine cartoon means creating a world. Take a lot of plasticine so that during the work you do not have to be distracted and go to the store again.
Step 3
Make a cartoon machine. This will make the work process more convenient. To do this, set up a tripod on an ordinary table, fix the camera on it and point the lens down.
Step 4
Place glass over the surface of the table, plasticine will move along it. Change the backgrounds of the scenery under the glass. Place the lamps on the left and right sides. This is the simplest cartoon machine.
Step 5
Take a simple lump of plasticine, transform it into whatever you want. For example, film a butterfly emerging from a cocoon. Make a butterfly with spread wings out of multi-colored plasticine, shoot it on camera.
Step 6
Fold the wings of the butterfly, shoot these steps frame by frame. Gradually crush the plasticine into a lump, scroll the material back, and you will see a butterfly emerge from the cocoon. It is these transformations that fascinate in the plasticine cartoon.
Step 7
Mold dolls from plasticine by inserting a wire frame inside, like a human skeleton. This will allow the dolls to stand, sit, walk, move their head. Keep in mind that a multi-machine may no longer fit here. Assemble three-dimensional decorations. But you can also mold a flat doll. Put it on the glass of the multi-gun and shoot with the camera suspended from the top.
Step 8
Finish preparing the material, save it to your computer and edit in Premier or FInal Cut Pro. Make soundtrack: noises or music, record your voice as a voiceover or voice the character. Experiment.
