Methods, systems, and computer readable media for producing realistic camera motion for stop motion animation

摘要

The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for producing realistic camera motion for stop motion animation. One method includes moving an object in a first space, wherein at least a portion of the movement is effected by human or other living organism. The method further includes tracking motion of the object as the object is moved in the first space and generating corresponding tracked motion data. The method further includes generating, using the tracked motion data, robot control information for controlling a robot to move a physical stop motion animation camera in a stop motion animation set. The method further includes controlling, using the robot control information, the robot to move the stop motion animation camera in the stop motion animation set.

主权项

1. A method for producing realistic camera motion for stop motion animation, the method comprising:
moving an object in a first space, wherein at least a portion of the movement is effected by a human or other living organism, wherein the first space comprises a production space for stop motion animation and wherein the object comprises a stop motion animation camera or a physical proxy for the stop motion animation camera; tracking, using a hardware processor, motion of the object as the object is moved in the first space and generating corresponding tracked motion data; generating, using the tracked motion data, robot control information for controlling a robot to move the stop motion animation camera in a stop motion animation set; controlling, using the robot control information, the robot to move the stop motion animation camera in the stop motion animation set; and while the stop motion animation camera is being moved using the robot control information, acquiring images using the stop motion animation camera in the stop motion animation set.
