Setting up to record the animation

- Setting up to record the animation…is really a two step process.…Now in this case you'll notice I'm standing on a ladder.…That's because we built the animation on a table.…A low table, mind you, but I needed to get enough…separation and get the camera over head.…Now, if you're not shooting an…over head time lapse, that's fine too.…Maybe you're gonna write on a chalkboard…and you want to see that build over time,…or perhaps you're just doing something simple…like building legos, or things with…children's building blocks. No big Deal.…

It'll completely work. I got a little bit fancy.…We're gonna do a cool animation here with some crayons…as the crayons form up into a shape.…Now you might be thinking, wait…it's already built, why'd you do that?…It is so much easier to build something and take it apart.…Think of it this way, if you've ever tried…building some furniture from one of…those big box stores from Sweden.…You know that you look at the instructions,…you did it a little bit wrong, you find something,…you have to dig around, well you're missing a part…
