I know in the next film (the one that Aardman are making now) of W&G they are making it digitally with stopmotion pro. But what camera are the using to connect to the software? is it acailable? and how much?

the cameras probly are something like £30,000+

what!!!!! blimey jordan £30,000 for each camera?

i dunno probley! lol the big ones on the exstendable boom rigs etc.

It will probably be something similar to what was used on Tim Burtons Corpse Bride Film I don't think they were that expensive http://www.stopmotionworks.com/articles/cbrdstrpdbare.htm

Hi All

hi cavor havent seen you around for a while, any new fantasic drawings for us?

Sorry been busy with life, maybe I will have to do a picture of W & G at the seaside .....if I get time.

I hope conty enjoys his little Music excursion

he did text me yesterday, sounds like hes having a good time, but i cant wait for him to get home a drawing on the beach sounds good
by the way i picked contys brains and the cameras are no where near as expensive as jordan suggests

£1.00-£6000

£495+

im sure aardmans will announce what camera they are using when they are ready

DSLR Stills camera? with the SFH-30 milo rig

they say they prefer the big films on 35mm mitchell cameras

Canon DLSR

I've managed to find out from the super-duper people in our Production Technology Department:

Canon EOS 1D MkIII cameras with Zeiss and Nikon prime lenses.
The cameras are roughly £2.5k without lens.

Hope that helps!

yippie i was right somehow

The same cameras as Tim Burtons production crew used in the Corpse Bride then

There is some interesting tech info about it on the SMP website: http://www.stopmotionpro.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=165&Itemid=9

nice link jills, and a lovely pic of ross, hes such a lovely bloke the video should be put on this site. it would be great for the beginners

I think I should put that on general chat, perhaps, you're right, cinders1, it would likely be useful for quite a few people.

i thought they still used 35mm mitchell cameras

There seems to be some conflicting information... but it sounds like it's all digital..?

it is jills, ive seen the camera

So they are not producing a "film" at all?

hehe.. i suppose not

So much for AMOLAD collector film cells then
