#DRAGONFRAME 40D SOFTWARE#
The software allows the user to manipulate the camera and the scene, and then to combine the frames into a sequence of animated frames. Additional hardware add-ons can be connected for controlling lighting and camera movement.
To create basic stop motion animations, the software controls a digital camera. It has also been used to shoot stop motion scenes in live action movies, including the holochess scene in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and numerous stop motion shorts. It has been used to make several full-length motion picture films, including Disneys Frankenweenie and Laikas Coraline, The Boxtrolls, and ParaNorman, as well as the stop motion television show Shaun the Sheep. and if animators hate something that's live action jokes aside DF needs to improve this ASAP if they could only make one camera work: Alexsa, Red, F55, BMPC4K anything that shoots live action and preferably in Raw, then at minimum we can have one thing that we know for sure is the system to go when you need to go from pixselisation in to 60FPS in a single shoot.ĭude thats nuts! Have you considered using RED? Is that possible with your motion control rig? That may give you better quality and still allow dragon frame to work properly.Dragonframe is stop motion animation software. its an animators soft made by animators for animators. but the moment you step out of that workspace its game over. also they can view instant flip books, compare on onion skins, go back as much phases if they need and during that time they can run encoded motion. Dragon Frame alows them to have a control of entire shot, to run camera is just one part. i am not Animation expert, i am DoP but i work a lot wit animators, so i learned thing or two. Yes you can do it that way but its really primitive workflow and you cant have any motion control. I could have used my Canon DSLR, but it doesn't have the DR of the BMCC so I was willing to put up with the extra steps I guess. One annoying thing though is each DNG is in it's own folder on the disk, so you have to first get all the DNGs out of the individual folders before combing them. This way I ended up with 1 DNG per frame just like if you used a DSLR. All I did was put it in time lapse mode and RAW, then just hit the record button once to grab a single frame, and then once again to stop recording. I'm definitely no stop motion pro, but I did make one little stop motion film using the BMCC. Let me know if you find some magic formula PLEASE all that just because Dragon Frame didnt support single live action camera
#DRAGONFRAME 40D PATCH#
and then on top of that i will need to change a lens to any Anamorpic (Iscorama or some patch work ) that has EF or Nikon mount. Things are not looking good for me! first i need to make a huge compromise and accept DSLR with Magic Lantern as my live action camera. This is complicating my life big time! problem is also that my animation crew is insisting on DF and also because producer has motion control rig that only works with DF there is no way around. i have two more problems then you:ġ) i am switching between Stop motion and live action and therefore DSLR is out of questionĢ) my lens is PL anamorphic and i cant fit that in a DSLR unless i get PL converted 7d yes you can use it but you cant shoot RAW. i talked to several experts and no there is no way to incorporate BM in to Dragon Frame. This is do funny! i am about to start a production on a animated sto-mo and i am looking i exact same thing.
