Derek – I shoot at different frame rates depending on the look I want or whether I want to shoot in DX or FX mode, etc. The final frame rate is also important, since, for example, 11fps conforms better to a 30fps video rate than a 24fps video rate, if you are a going for a real-time effect (as opposed to time-lapse for example)

Beautiful footage! Andrew, did you shoot continually using the Nikons 11 fps mode, or did you go “manual”? Kind regards, Derek.

@Andrew Komylak , I was doing this 7 years ago with my D1h, But I had to change the obturator as I broke it after to years of not intense utilisation .

by “professional use” I meant idiotic of course. If you took care of it, I could see the D5000 lasting a lifetime!

Anon: You can shoot video and drop frames of course, but you wont get the image size and color depth you get from the still frames, nor the lens effects of the large sensor, and you wouldn’t be able to shoot with strobes.

Vendetta: Luckily my D3 has lasted me for almost 2 years of professional use plus all the stillmotion. I do rent a lot though, to give it a break.

The best way to ruin your camera, did Nikon gave some D3 for free ?

Can’t you just use a D5000/D90 and kick out every second frame in post processing? Sounds like a terrible waste of D3 shutter life to me. But the videos are awesome.

Those were sweet. Thanks for sharing. I, too, love the look, and have long thought of doing a vid. shoot with the fast fps of the D300s or the like. Now I gotta try!

This is also made with NIkon D3:

I know that because my friend directed and shot it.

This is a commercial of a potato chips “Lays” and was aired in Poland and some other countries.

good stuff….. but stop motion is nothing new or limited to the D3.

Hopefully this isn’t a subtle hint that the D3 already has video and everyone should stop complaining. lol…

Why would you choose stop motion over a video camera in this scenario?
