Stop-frame animation advice

[littleMatt]

Anyone know of a good program to use for a big stop-frame animation? I've put an example below of what I'm working on but my animated GIF is already over a meg and it's about a tenth of the way through.

I was going to ask in the animation section but it was scary and unfamiliar!

I use quicktime pro for my frame compiling. I am sure there is better options out there but that has always worked for what I was making.

What are you using?

[littleMatt]

Oh OK. I think I purchased that a while back, hopefully I still have it!

At the minute I'm using my iPhone to take the pictures (this is out of my window at work and I don't want to draw loads of attention to myself) so the quality is pretty rubbish, but it's just for fun. I'll see how this ends up then I'll try a proper one elsewhere with my D70

Cheers

Out of interest do you have any examples of stuff you've done?

You could use after effects - just import the series straight to frames.

Where do you work? That looks a bit like battersea?

[littleMatt]

That may be a bit out of my price range

I'm in Chelsea so you weren't far off!

quicktime or after effects

imageready can do it as well if you have the suite already.

Wont imageready just give me a gif though?

I think I'll give Quicktime a go, cheers dudes!
