I've been having a play with a set of images i took for making into a gif.
Lessons learnt
- Use a tripod
- Find a position that is easier to hold
What do you think? Have you done any? If so post them.

Hey that's rather clever and something I'd love to try but am not sure where to begin :(

Essentially burst mode on the camera to get a bunch of shots then followed an online tutorial for photoshop to create the gif
Use a tripod, i didn't and had to align each image

Sounds good thanks, could you take a series of single shots and then animate them?

Yeah, that's all this is.

Random question, what is the turntable you're using? I've always wanted to get a turntable/lazy susan that could support a person on it but most of them are designed for cakes :D

Jeffstu Great thanks will give it a go, like the weight lifting that works a treat

No need for turntable. Place camera on tripod, ideally with some sort of remote control. The just do this...
- explain the sequence to the model,
- put a tiny reference mark on the floor,
- make sure there are plenty of mirrors around so model can position herself accurately between shots
- and ideally find a model who is also a classically trained dancer and can place herself with millimetric precision! lol :-)
I find that dancers particularly seem to enjoy doing these "twirly girl" things... :-)

They're all 'giftastic' I'd like to try a foot fetish theme, with the model slowly removing a sock or unbuckling her shoe and then wiggling her tootsies :)

Again, try to find someone who has some dance training. If you are doing stop-frame, precision is king. :-)
Also, if you intend the animation to repeat smoothly, then your model really needs to return to the position she started from - if that makes sense?
