How to make animation about the camera?
You will need

Option one: you take all the necessary cartoon objects, draw scenery, in general, createEntourage and transgress to the shooting. Your task is to capture the subject in action. To do this, build the scene as you want it to be on the screen and take a picture. Next, make minimal changes to the scene and shoot it again. Any, even the most insignificant action should be captured in a separate frame, then the transitions between the photographs will turn out to be smooth and beautiful. For example, if you are photographing a children's typewriter traveling on a table, then every few centimeters of its movement should be removed separately. It is very important not to change the angle!

If you want to drawcartoon with a camera, you will need a lot of paper. By the same principle, we draw a separate frame on each sheet. If you take an example with the same machine, then first draw it on the right edge of the sheet, on the next sheet - move it slightly to the left, etc. Each leaf is also photographed separately.

After taking all the necessary photographs, we proceed toinstallation. To do this, you can use any program for video editing: Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Movie Maker, etc. In turn, we insert the captured scenes in the window for editing, and we select the frequency of the frame changes in the settings. If you want the resulting cartoon to resemble an ordinary tape, rather than a sequence of photos - choose a frequency of 10 frames per second or higher, if you want to keep the effect of discrete shooting - enough will be 3 frames.

Mounted separately scenes are glued together, after which we impose music and titles. Now your cartoon can be considered complete!

Instructions
1
Open the matchbox. From the lid make a cabin, out of the box - the body. To do this, simply place the cover vertically and glue it to the smallest part of the box. The lower lines of the cabin and the body must be on the same level, otherwise it will be problematic to put the car on the wheels.
2
Cut out the bottom of the body. You can first draw everything done on paper. The body is covered from the outside and inside. Cut out 2 rectangles equal to the bottom area. Stick them inside the box and from the bottom. Cut the strip, the length of which is equal to the perimeter, and the width to the height of the body. Stick it on the inside of the body. For the outer part of it, cut the same strip, only without one short side.
3
Start the cab from the top plane. The rectangle should be slightly larger so that you can paste it on the edge of the box. Add the same rectangle from the bottom. For the sides cut the tape, the width of which is equal to the height of the cabin, and the length - to the perimeter without the back wall. For the back wall, cut a rectangle from the top of the cabin to the body. Make out of an adhesive tape or a film of another color of a window - small squares. You can make and doors, pasted on the side of the cabin rectangles.
4
Shilom pierce through the cabin. Punctures should be approximately 0.5 cm from the bottom line, approximately in the middle of the cabin. Exactly the same punctures do on the body, retreating from the rear line the same distance. The size of the holes should be such that it freely entered the peg.
5
Cut off from the piece of wire 2 axes. Their length should be slightly more than the width of the machine, so that you can attach the wheels, and there is still a gap. Insert the pieces of wire into the holes on the cab and body. Lubricate the ends with glue and glue the stoppers from the small bottles with the outside side outward.
Tip 3: All About Cameras: How to Choose
Now the camera is in every house, becausethis is quite a necessary thing: to take a picture of the child, and to capture the family celebration. In addition, the market of photographic equipment is constantly updated, new models are getting cheaper, so you can easily buy a camera.
Digital cameras: the present and the future
It's not a problem to buy a camera for a beginner whogoes to the store and gets what his look will drop. But if a person starts to prepare, read reviews about cameras on the Internet, compare and look for the best, then there are difficulties of choice. Film cameras are irretrievably gone, because now it's easier to take pictures on a digital camera and immediately see what happened on the computer. In addition, the computer makes it possible to edit the resulting image at its discretion. This is convenient, because in the last decade, digital cameras quickly captured the entire market of this segment. Among digital cameras, at least a soap box, a compact, a SLR camera are singled out. How to decide the choice? You can, of course, ask the seller in the store. However, it often turns out that he knows even less of his buyer. Or, on the contrary, heap over with a bunch of incomprehensible, nothing for an uninitiated person of meaningless terms. So, first you need to decide what exactly the camera is for and what budget is put into this purchase. Then you need to arm yourself with a little knowledge in the field of photographic equipment. It is worth knowing that the soap box is a fully automatic camera, in which there is a flash and a non-removable lens, more often - a zoom. This is one of the cheapest and affordable types of photographic equipment. For example, the most inexpensive options: Panasonic GF3, Olympus E-PM1. Today, prices for cameras, soap dishes start from 2.5 thousand rubles. A compact camera is a class higher than a soap box, respectively, and it costs more. Has manual settings, which are absent in the automatic soap box. It also has a lot of weight compared to soap dishes, the best photosensor (matrix) and a lens that has good aperture. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 will be a good option among compacts. Mirror cameras have a manual adjustment of all elements, and the basic settings are made for convenience directly on the camera body, and not hidden in the menu, like a compact. Mirrors have the ability to change optics, which is not in the soap box and compact, as well as a large high-quality mat. They have a lot of weight. This is the best that can be purchased from cameras. Although their cost starts from 25 thousand rubles. However, a SLR camera can shoot objects in motion, which can not be said about a soap box. A good purchase will be a SLR camera Nikon D5100."Advanced" CD
If there is no money for a SLR camera, thennezerkalok get an "advanced" compact with the ability to change optics. If you look good, you can find such a camera with a large, like a mirror, a matrix. In general, the quality of the matrix when choosing a camera is important, because it is in this place that the image is born. The ability to change the lens is not the last characteristic of the camera, because each lens serves its purposes. Canon PowerShot SX120 IS, Nikon Coolpix L110, Nikon Coolpix P500 are compact non-mirror cameras of good quality.Tip 4: How to make 3D glasses from toolboxes?
Recalling the emotions that arose when watching a movieor a cartoon in a 3D movie theater, you might want to have 3D at home. But for this you need to purchase expensive 3D-TVs and 3D glasses. But there is a variant of viewing 3D photos / videos and on a regular monitor, these are the so-called anaglyph 3D glasses, which are much cheaper, but they can be made by yourself.
You will need
- - Frame from plastic glasses (or cardboard)
- - Transparent film from the badge (or transparent plastic)
- - Markers of red and blue colors
- - Glue
Instructions
1
You must select a frame. If there are old unnecessary sunglasses, then you can take them. If there are none, you can make a frame made of thick cardboard. A pattern for homemade rims can be found on the Internet.
2
Now we need to make lenses. A material for lenses can be a white transparent plastic or a film from a badge. If you used a plastic frame (from sunglasses), you will need to cut out the same lenses (sizes and shapes) from the lens material you have chosen. If you used a cardboard frame, then the lens should be slightly larger than the slots in the frame (so that the lens can be glued to the frame)
3
Having identified with the rim and making lenses, you need themcolorize. To do this, you can use markers. Anaglyph sunglasses come in different colors: red-blue, yellow-green. I recommend making red-blue glasses, because this is the most common type of anaglyph glasses, under which photos and videos are made in the first place. But when manufacturing such 3D glasses, one should take into account that each color belongs to its own eye. In this case, red is for the left eye, and blue for the right eye.
4
The final step in our work is inserting (pasting) the lenses into the frame. Now you can start watching 3D movies or cartoons!
5
A little information about what is differentcardboard glasses from plastic. The fact is that glasses made in plastic frame are more durable, while cardboard very quickly crumple, tear. Also, when watching 3D, sweat on the face can be highlighted. This is especially true when viewing 3D for the first time.
