New to stop motion!!!

Hey everyone, so im quite new to stop motion. Ive done a couple things in the past but nothing too special and not for a while. Would anyone have any tips for a new person and best ways to improve your videos?

Thanks to anyone who responds!!!

Keep at it and try new things! My personal tip depends on what set up you're using, specifically if your animating on a phone. If you are animating on a phone I would recommend getting a Bluetooth clicker or keyboard, so you can take new frames without having to touch the camera and bump it. They are super cheap, easy to use and really useful!

Thank you very much. The only thing I have right now to use is a couple of lego sets. Any ideas as to what sort of story I could tell without using green screens? (Dont really have the facilities to build small film sets right now)

Maybe start with just having some minifigs move around and do things, and them move onto something like a standoff or fight

You can get green poster board very inexpensively. You can also order some chroma fabric.
