Stop MotionTutorial: Whiteboard Animation
Whiteboard-style animation can be done on an app these days, but there are some effects you might want to get with it that still call for a camera, a real whiteboard, and a few actual pens. That's what I get into in this tutorial. Whether it's just to get that hand-made look to the animation or to combine it with pixilation or stop motion, here is a look at how to create real-world whiteboard animation.
Please see my other tutorials on how to animate to music, dancing, make a puppet, cut-outs, lip sync, and other stop motion subjects: • Stop Motion Tutorials

Software: Dragonframe and Stop Motion Studio. iStopmotion (Mac and mobile) is a good frame-capturing app for the price. I understand iKITmovie is a good free option for Windows. If you have a favorite stop motion app, please tell us about it in the comments. Edited using Adobe Premiere.
Camera: I'm using a DSLR. But if you're not there yet, a good option is a camcorder that can run a live video signal to your computer. But these days a mobile device with a camera running a stop motion app is all you need. The principles discussed in this video will also apply to animation recorded with a mobile device.
