You should start looking through the boxes under your bed, in your loft or in your closet if you haven’t already. You might even find valuable collectible minifigs in those boxes. Even rarer minifigs dating back to the 1970’s can be worth hundreds of dollars. Check out ebay for the most valuable minifigs.
SVG and Canvas, both HTML 5 technologies are used by developers to build rich graphics and features within charts. SVG-based charting functions can help developers to create a variety of features, from a simple type of vector graphics with static animations up to an interactive user interface that includes advanced animation effects. Canvas is also very versatile, as its JavaScript API allows programmatically enabling a drawing procedure to create dynamic and flexible lines, bars, pie charts, and more.
- Buy a high-quality Webcam
After you’ve collected your Legos, you’ll want to invest in a high-quality webcam. Many webcams are cheap and unreliable. To get a high-quality image, you will need to buy a Microsoft or Logitech webcam. You can expect to pay at least $35. I recommend the Logitech C920 (approximately $95), but it is well worth the extra money. The image quality of the Logitech c920 is excellent. The better your image quality, the more appealing the animation to your viewers will be.
Charts and graphs are great ways to present information in an appealing and descriptive way. They are used in almost every part of the internet. In news articles, presentation materials and comic books. There are many vendors that cater to certain features or limitations. It is important to choose the best charting tool to get the job done. These vendors have all, over the last decade, offered a primarily Flash-based software without any real alternative technology.
- Buy 3 Lamps
When animating, the last thing you’ll want to do is use “daylight”. It is not a good idea to animate under the sun. Why? The sun’s position changes every second due to clouds shading it or the time of day. Every time you take a photo for your stop-motion lego animation, the lighting will change. You will not notice the light levels, but you will see “light flicker” when you replay your animation. This can be very distracting for the viewer. To avoid this, you will need to use artificial lighting and block out the daylight. Three desk lamps should be sufficient. Use paper to reflect or dampen down the brighter lights to avoid glare and soften your look.
- Select the Best Stop Motion Software Carefully
If you have a PC, I recommend iKITMovie. If you have a MAC, I recommend iStopMotion. DragonFrame is the best option if you don’t have a budget restriction and are using a DSLR camera (digital single lens reflex). It is important to choose the best stop-motion software because new animators often make mistakes when choosing. You can try the trial versions of all software mentioned before purchasing. Take the time to try out a trial version and decide if it suits your needs.
With the introduction of HTML5, we can now see gradual changes. You can see that you have the option to dynamically enable and render some of the most advanced charting features. This was not possible before. HTML 5 has the advantage of being compatible with a wide range of devices and platforms. It is especially good at running on Apple and Linux operating systems. HTML5 renders charts 60% faster than its older counterpart. HTML5 has gained momentum since Microsoft announced that it would no longer support Flash on its web browser, and Apple’s “No Flash” policy for its devices.
- Add Sound FX to Music and Voiceover
If you didn’t notice, the days of silent animation movies are gone. Engage the audience’s senses. Sound effects are essential to entertaining. It is important to add music that sets the mood. Your characters will come to life if you give them a voice. A microphone is required to record your voice. Some stop motion software allows you to record your voiceover directly into the program, while others require that you use another application to create the files and then import them once complete. iKIT lets you record them directly or import. It also includes over 2000 sound effects. You can also download sound effects for free from different websites. You can easily find free sound effects by typing “free sound effect” into Google.
Publishers who have print-based back catalogs are searching for easy ways to publish the content on the digital platforms that are growing. The PDF is often the format that people are most comfortable with. When producing eBooks or digital magazine content, there are many things to consider that are not as easy as exporting PDF.
