Did a stop motion workshop the equipment was awesome. A clicker and onion skin would be so useful in my work. Onion skin shows the active frame you're setting up live on the computer, but also puts transparent version of the previous frame. This can be used to see how much you've moved things what you still need to move etc. The workshop also taught me how much to move a piece, and the importance of keeping everything moving even tiny background elements or the piece lacks life and professionalism. I plan to work in 12 fps to speed the process it will be slightly jumpier than 25 but will still look fine as it is used in industry. It took about 4 hours for less than 30 seconds of footage, it was hard work.
