"My problem is not the online availability, it is that I live in a rural area with rubbish broadband. It is often only possible to watch YouTube videos about 5 seconds at a time. I might try to watch the film one night when I can't sleep. 2am we…"

"I hope this is another sign that DVDs are dead. It cost me $2 to rent. If I wanted to watch it again in my lifetime, I could rent it again many times before spending more than it would cost to own. I have a small collection of stop-motion films on…"

"Ouch! It's 40 Euros to ship within Europe. How heavy is a DVD???"
StopmoNick replied to Steve Boot's discussion O Apostolo online
"I looked on their site and found where I could order the DVD at a very reasonable 10 Euro - I would pay up to 20 or 25 E. But shipping to Rest of the World is 45 Euro, which unfortunately is a deal breaker. So I may have to look at the pay per view…"

"I'd say the 60D is a good option for stopmotion, I used one for one of my projects and thought it was great, don't know how it holds up for stills photography though. I know a couple of people with the 650 and that also seems…"

"I had a very similar reaction to the replacement faces in Boxtrolls, there were times where it even took me completely out of the action because I was thinking "how did they let THAT slip by?" But I have a theory that they did it…"
grecodan replied to Steve Boot's discussion Boxtrolls - its not all stopmotion!
"I agree. There were some shots where it was very obvious what was going on with the faces. Compared with the smoothness of the body animation, it was a bit jarring. Although I do think it was partially the design of the characters. Lord…"
Ethan Bartholomae replied to Steve Boot's discussion Boxtrolls - its not all stopmotion!
"To be honest I felt like the replacement faces were more noticeable in The Boxtrolls than they were in Paranorman. Maybe that's just me? I was always impressed by how much effort they and other studios put into replacement faces, but despite…"

"I thought the scene was done the way Nick outlined, with puppets composited into layers. The fact that there are some CG characters is...I guess...okay. But then I'm another Fantastic Mr. Fox fan, so I'm biased anyway toward old-school…"
StopmoNick replied to Steve Boot's discussion Boxtrolls - its not all stopmotion!
"I was planning a crowd scene with all puppets, but re-dressing the same ones and compositing them in layers. That way I cold animate a manageable half-dozen or so at a time, and make 8 puppets look like 40. But there were still limits to…"
