Getting that old "Sinbad" stop motion look in 3d animation

AMers

 

On my Pirate project I'm thinking on attempting to get the look of stop motion like seen in those old Sinbad movies (those skeleton sword fights) , what approach would/could one take in getting that effect/look in AM ... animating is by no means a strong area of mine..that is if I have a strong area....

 

Thanks,

We had another thread here a bit ago where we were thinking about that

in brief... a bit of random motion (see my post#9) and animating at 12fps to make the strobing obvious.

And, of course, you will not use any motion blur.

There was a stretch in the 80's where VFX animators were doing something called "go-motion" where they would use wires or rods attached to the puppet to move it to get motion blur as each camera frame was clicked off.

 

"Jurassic Park" was originally going to be a go-motion production, but CG animation ended all that.
