When a colleague knew that my kids create very simple stop motion movies with camera and their toys, he built this armature for them. It’s supposed to be covered with clothes and face but he looks more human like this. ————— Backlighting with natural light of the sun through a white transparent window curtain. Postproduction only in camera raw: contrast +100; highlights -65; blacks -18. Last two in order to preserve detail and contrast, reaching both ends of the istogram but without breaking them. Sharpening 129. Luminance 129 because D700 has a nice sensor but some noise is always there. And I like that smoothing effect.
I don’t like to study, I only make experiments, so if you’re expert and can give some tips, please feel free.
All my post production are done with a basic notebook, with a built-in basic graphic card and the notebook monitor, so if something has to be corrected, let me know!
Have a very nice (shooting) week end.
