pieces (for the front and back of the bottom structure )Īll of the parts cost me $50 in total. piece (for the bottom part of the back legs that rests on the dowels ) pieces (for the sides of the bottom structure )ģ/4 x 6ft x 6 in plank of.I don't remember what kind of wood it was.but it doesn't really looked similar to the aspen pieces (for the part that you put the dowels in that the back legs rest on ) One thing I wished it had come with when I was out buying stuff was an actual supply list to build that thing. This is the blueprint we used to build it (found at the Hand-Drawn Animation Equipment blog) I had just so happened to bring this gooseneck clip-on lamp with me and we decided to give see how well it would work as a backlight and: The light fixture was really hard to find for cheap. We actually had to completely improvise the legs in the back that lock into the dowels, and it turned out to be the most sturdy part of the whole thing. It was awesome because a lot of the measurements we did were based on guesses and it worked out perfectly! Here's the finished desk in it's collapsed portable form. He had both! And.did most of the actual building while I was the one who deciphered the blueprints and dictated the measurements. Of course, with no tools or experience with wood I never thought it's actually happen. The vertical positioning of the animation camera, always shooting down, is the main component that defines an animation stand, as opposed to a stop motion set-up, or other equipment arrangements for animation production.Īnimation stands can be homemade, from metal or wood, such as that owned by Los Angeles animator Mike Jittlov, and still accomplish impressive animation production or they can be elaborate (and expensive) professionally made precision systems that allow for the computerised movements of both the art and the camera, as has been traditionally used by professional animation studios and special effects facilities such as the Walt Disney studio (famous for their Multiplane camera) and George Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) facilities.So, my friend and I built an animation desk! I got the idea to do it after stumbling upon this blog a couple months ago. Opposite the animator is a series of supporting arms and supports, on top of which is mounted a film or video camera, pointing down toward the artwork, which films the artwork, frame-by-frame, as it is slowly moved and changed by the operator. Pegs made specifically for animation are embedded into the table, in at least two slots allowing the pegs to slide from side to side, permitting horizontal movement of images, but can also be easily fixed into position for the accurate positioning ("registration") of the artwork. Traditionally, the flat surface that the animation rests on is some kind of table that the animator sits at.
