1. Animation Rig

3. Setting up the camera

4. Controls of the camera Power cable USB cable Set button On/ off switch and video/ still image option Zoom Function button

5. Adjusting the focus To adjust the focus I moved the wheel either way until it was sharp and clear. To help decide on how to focus the camera, I placed a piece of text in front of it, which became blurred or sharp when moving the wheel.

6. White balance To set the white balance, I had to click the function button, then scroll across to select the right tool, then click set.

7. Setting the exposure Next, I set the exposure to +3 but clicking set, then scrolling up to select exposure.

8. To make sure that each drawing was in the same place, I blue tacked an A3 sheet to the desk with ruler guides.

9. IStopMotion When the rig is set up, I loaded up the program IStopMotion. When open, I selected the device as Legria HV40 (camera). Once selected, the black screen changed to the view from the camera. I wanted 4 frames per second so clicked on the 4 key for my animatic.

10. The complete rig ready to GO!!!
