Timing

INTRODUCTION

Use Part 1 of your Pivot animation to show you can control timing of frames.

BASIC REQUIREMENTS

– Choose a sequence of about 30 frames from your animation

• Export your Pivot Animation as individual PNG files
• Delete all but the 20 or so frames you will use
• Create a new project in Stop Motion Pro and import the images
• Set the Frame rate to 30fps
• Repeat each frame 3 extra times to slow down the animation
• Select the whole sequence and repeat THREE TIMES so you can make three versions

Animating:

• Change the timing of your animation by changing the number of frames.
• Create THREE different sequences (one for each set of images)
  1. A simple scene, where every frame is used once. (Use each frame 4 times)
  2. A scene where action speeds up for a few frames after an impact, then goes back to normal (first use fewer frames, and then increase them again)
  3. A scene where action gets progressively slower after an impact (increase # of frames) AND STOPS
• Things that speed up will use FEWER frames, slower action MORE frames
