I just want to know cos me and some people are making a claymation movie in the style of Wallace and Gromit, Harvie Krumpet etc, and we are having trouble with a digital flash camera, so we need to know PLZ if there is a camera available in Australia that is made for this task.
Thnx in advance!!!
The problem is that most digital cameras (even DSLR's with a live view) can't be used with stop motion software since they all go into a "generic hard drive" mode for uploading pics when plugged into a computer. That's why stop motion programs can't detect your camera; it's not made to provide a live video feed when plugged into a computer.
Webcams are the easiest to use with stop motion software since the whole point of them is to provide a live video feed while hooked up to a computer. Camcorders can be used as well, just make sure that whichever way it provides a Video Out signal (USB, Firewire, RCA Jack) that your computer has a proper port/jack for it. If not, you might need an adapter.
Keep in mind you can still use your digital camera for stop motion. You just need to take all your pics first, then upload them onto your computer and turn them into a video. Most stop motion software can take pics off your hard drive and compile them into video.
If you need any more help or info, let me know.
What is a digital flash camera?
You can use just about anything, provided it has the resolution you need. Since even full 1080p HD video is only 2 megapixels, the camera sensor is most likely not the problem.
What is the problem?
One of those theatrical claymation things... Princess Bride maybe? was shot with Canon 20D cameras. They could just have easily used Powershot Pro1's, not a big deal.
