Typically speaking, it takes hours worth of work to capture a few minutes of footage. And we\u2019re talking about the monotonous tedium of moving or rearranging objects fractions of a centimeter over and over again.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t even get me started on the reshoots. Every time the camera moves a millimeter or the lighting changes by an iota of brightness it seems like key frames in your shooting sequence become unusable.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, it\u2019s just easier to shoot live action or use computer animation techniques than it is to do stop-motion most of the time. And if it isn\u2019t easier, it\u2019s usually more fun.<\/p>\n<p>But, Nick Bild\u2019s new system cuts that tedium in half.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Go Motion\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zxzlnXLueIg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--resp-video-container-->In the above video we see the typical life of a stop-motion animator. Bild spends about 2 full minutes wiggling Lego characters around. It\u2019s slightly more riveting than watching paint dry.<\/p>\n<p>But then, like magic, we see the same video with Bild\u2019s hand removed from the scene and only the resulting movements visible. And, voila, it\u2019s a pretty nifty little stop-motion video.<\/p>\n<p>The fun part here is that Bild\u2019s AI isn\u2019t some big fancy system that takes a room full of GPUs to run. It\u2019s a simple computer vision system running a hand-pose estimation algorithm. It just takes a single picture anytime there\u2019s not a hand in the screen. When a hand shows up again, it waits for it to leave and takes another snap.<\/p>\n<p>This might not seem like a big help, but Bild didn\u2019t shoot a version of the video where they had to crew the camera, move the pieces, and keep track of lighting and shadow continuity.<\/p>\n<p>Bild\u2019s taken half the work out of shooting stop-motion with the clever use of AI.<\/p>\n<p>Hat\u2019s off to Bild for this awesome gift to would-be amateur stop-motion animators around the world.<\/p>\n<p>And a hat tip to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/hackaday.com\/2021\/09\/20\/mastering-stop-motion-through-machine-learning\/\">Hackaday\u2019s Tom Nardy<\/a> for spotting this cool little AI project.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the whole project <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/nickbild\/go_motion\">here on GitHub<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
