digital stop motion

Hi THere

Does anyone here know of a high resolution DV camera that will do single frame?

Thanks

The Sony PD150 has a built in intervalometer which, without checking the manual, I'm pretty sure can record single frames. It certainly allows for alot more controls for time lapse than on previous Sonys.

I know the VX1000 can only record a minimum of 2 frames at a time.

thanks, 2 frames at a time will be fine.

Thanks for the help

Or you could link the camera to Premiere, and have it record stop motion from the camera via firewire connection

For stop motion in a digital environment, it works well to simply use a normal digital camera. It's MADE for single frames, and any decent editing environment will have no trouble importing/editing the files it produces.

Also, a $300 still cam will produce better single frames than a $4000 DV cam.

that's a very good point.

DV res is 720 x 576 (PAL), but a digi still cam is made to do resolutions to match 35mm (ie somewhere around 1500 x 1500), esp. the latest batch of mega-mega-megapixel cameras.

go eddie!

hi there

Thanks for the comments, I thought as much. But my computer will die if I tried to animate 1500x1500 images on it

Cheers

but how do you edit these high res files?

Hello Alex
Ill be using Premier or FCP, I might even use Imovie, if it can handle it.

Hello Eddie, does the High Res digital still file easily convert to Non-linear?

Is it a straight "fire-wire in" transfer, or does it have to be done some other way because this is no longer standard resolution video that is being transfered/edited?
