Thoughts?
How many frames per second is it?
0.07
0.07
1 / 0.07 = 14.285714 repeating
I'm no expert on stop motion, but I thought it looked pretty good. The lighting changes a bit at times, and at one point the camera pans to the right and then jerk to left before continuing to the right. Pretty good for a test shot though.
.056 is 18fps
.0416 is 24fps
.04 is 25 fps
So that works out to 1.75/25 so 13-15 fps somewhere there abouts??
Ah okay, that makes more sense - I haven't seen frame rates expressed as a decimal before, cheers chaps.
If I'm not mistaken, wasn't it figured out back in the day that 24 fps is the slowest speed in which motion is fluid and flicker is removed? They figured this out to minimize the amount of footage (as in measurement) that was required saving money.
I think 16 fps is the minimum and 24 fps is the minimum for playing back synchronised sound, but I can't find a source so I may be wrong…

I'm never going to be overawed by the sight of slightly moving action figures but it looks pretty good for what it is.
Try and even out the lighting would be my advice.
I think the way you've got the lighting set up is fine. The problem is in the fact that it's changing from frame to frame, giving it a distracting 'strobe' effect.
Are you using manual or auto exposure on your camera?
