Top Tips from Top Creators
We asked some incredible creators for their advice on how to make films that are out of this galaxy. Swipe right to read them!
Tip 1 – from Picturesmith
“Because stop-motion is slow to make, consistent light is important to ensure your shots look good from the first frame to last. Use blackout blinds and lamps!”
Tip 2 – from Parker Weinstein
“Be creative with practical effects! Using parts in an inventive way can take your animation to the next level.”
Tip 3 – from Matt King
“It’s best to plan your animation as a storyboard first. A great way is to use sticky notes on a wall. That way you can easily edit them to help your story flow.”
Tip 4 – Picnic Studios
“Share your ideas with lots of people. Be open to the collaboration.”
Tip 5 – from Jacob Crow
“You don't need a huge LEGO® set collection to create a great film – use whatever bricks you have!”
Tip 6 – from Aaron Legg
“Be bold with your ideas. The story you tell is what matters the most, so keep that at the heart of your animation. The effects should all serve the story.”
Tip 7 – from Monitogo Studios
“Lock down your baseplates with wall tack and your camera on a tripod or similar, so they don’t wiggle!”
Tip 8 – from A+C Studios
“Before shooting, physically act out the performances you want to animate and record them. Watching them back will be an invaluable tool.”

The bad news: we can’t add films to the Festival that use unlicensed music and sound effects. The GOOD news: we’re providing some tunes for you to use in your film. Download them here!
