Xpan Stop Motion

[Jubb Jubb]

I have been toying with the idea of doing a stop motion film from the xpan.
It is already in cinematic format but am I making to much hard work for myself?

Has anyone ever done a stop motion before?

You need a movie camera, digital IS much easier and cheaper. Otherwise, it's at the minimum 12 frames per sec (better if it is 24), i.e. one roll of film ($4-$10, depending on whether it's B&W or color etc.) + processing per one sec.

Whoa! Stop motion with an Xpan? It's gonna get mighty expensive!

12 frames a second? So it will be one roll of film for 1-2 seconds..
Yep, it would get expensive.

I don't think it's been done before, and I'd love to give it a try.
Just need to come up with a story to tell and an idea of what I'd like to shoot.

1) The Xpan isn't pin registered.
2) At best you'd only be able to shoot a second of film at a time.

These days most stop-motion films are shot on the Canon D5 mk II.
