Quick
Tutorial

This
article
relates
some
of
the
things
to
watch
out
for
when
making
your
first
stop
motion
animation
armature.
In
this
instance
we
are
using
Armaverse
armature
available
online
to
purchase.
However
most
armature
for
stop
motion
animation
is
very
similar
so
what
is
true
for Armaverse
armature
will
be
true for
most
other
brands
of
armature. |
|
The
inclusion
of
the
LEGO®
minifigure
character
here
is
for
scale
only...Well
also
its
a
bit
of
fun
as
he
watches
the
armature
come
to
life! |
|
Now
we
move
on
to
the
legs.
Again
lay
them
out
as
shown
here
keeping
the
various
parts
grouped
together. |

As
before
with
the
arms
make
sure
that
the
concave
side
of
the
plates
receive
the
ball
bearings,
closing
on
them
as
shown
here.
Don't
tighten
the
nuts
and
bolts
to
tightly
for
now.
We
will
talk
about
how
tight
they
should
be
later.
Stop
Motion
animation
is a
delicate
art
and
over
tightening
the
armature
will
end
up
causing
problems
down
the
line.

iMake
sure
that
you
put
the
threaded
balls
on
the
feet
as
shown
as
you
will
use
them
to
tie
down
your
character
for
animation. |

iNow
the
spine
of
the
torso..which
seems
small
with
only
a
three
hole
plate
but
will
become
evident
it
is
the
correct
size
when
you
have
completed
the
armature. |
 |
|
iScrew
the
plates
together
as
shown
again
making
sure
the
cupped
side
of
the
plates
point
inward. |
