• Create 12 variations of an animated face.
2. Shoot in Random order on 1's @ 12fps: 
• Set Dragonframe project to 12fps 4:3 aspect ratio

3. Multi-Image Shoot: This shoot requires a downshooter with a wide (35mm) lens.

• Set Dragonframe project to 12fps 4:3 aspect ratio
• Use the grid to arrange 9 or 12 images on the table and raise camera on downshooter so we can see all 9. If needed you can trim pages on paper cutter for better framing.
• Shoot a frame and then shuffle the images.
• Use onion-skinning to register the position of the drawings.
• Repeat until you have recorded at least 18 frames. Set playback to loop to observe animation. 
• Copy and paste all 18 frames 4 times for a total of 72 frames.
