How do they create plasticine cartoons?

Art is very multifaceted. It's so great that it can be both serious and entertaining. Not only children, but also adults are pleased to watch cartoons. A special niche among them is occupied by cartoons from plasticine. Painted already no one is surprised, computer graphics, too, palled, but this option always causes a sea of delight.

Why does this happen? Probably, because plasticine cartoons require a lot of patience and time to create, that's why real artists and amateurs of their craft take on their implementation.

What is required in order to remove them? Fans of the creative and even professional directors claim that anyone can create plasticine cartoons at home. To do this, you need:

• Plasticine of different colors;
• Camera with a tripod;
• A special program on the computer (Sony Vegas, for example);
• Inspiration and desire to create.

First you can do a mini-project to see what happens in the end, and what you need to consider next time. Blind a simple figure, install the camera on a tripod (or on a stack of books, if there is not one) and start shooting. In order to make plasticine cartoons as good as possible, take pictures as often as possible. For example, if you have sculpted a person's figure, then about 10 frames should go to the "raising of the hand". This is really a very laborious process, therefore, in order to remove a full-length plasticine cartoon film, it can take several months to several years.

After all the necessary pictures are taken, you need to transfer them to the computer. Programs for video processing, as a rule, have an intuitive interface, and therefore to collect all the images, adjust the speed and apply sound, no one will be difficult.

However, before creating your own masterpieces, it is better to get acquainted with what has already been created by professionals. The whole team works on cartoons: there is a director, a script writer, an operator, and an artist ... In general, things are the same here as on the set of a regular film. Actors are also involved, only they are not removed, but only voiced plasticine characters.
