INTEGRAF--How to Make Holograms
"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler” - Albert Einstein We attempt to follow this dictum so you can make holograms easily. The procedures we propose herein are as simple as it is physically possible. In the process, we make holography not only as simple as possible, but safer, less expensive, and more accessible to young people. Most of the essential items described in this article can be found in Integraf's holography kits or are available separately. The kits provide materials for you to make many kinds of holograms, including reflection holograms and transmission holograms. The figure below shows a Class IIIa diode laser with an output of 3 to 4 mW when operated by 3.0 v dc. An excellent support for such a small laser is a wooden clothespin, as shown below. The wooden clothespin offers another advantage. The “white light reflection hologram” is the simplest to make. 4.1 Supplies 4.2 Preparing the object It is not necessary to have a completely dark room.

6 Stop Motion Beginner Mistakes (and how to avoid them) | Stopmotion Explosion
Don't be a n00b! Apply these techniques and your animated films will be better, get more likes, and amaze your audience. Animation Flicker A lot of stop motion films suffer from flicker issues. If you're experiencing this, check two things: Is the camera auto-exposure turned on? (Here's a video which shows how to turn off a webcam's auto exposure with the AMCAP application). Are there lights behind you? Camera Shake When you're animating a film with toy characters, like LEGO minifigs, you want the camera to be as still as possible, or move gracefully, like a camera does in a feature film. What NEVER looks good, is a camera image that's constantly wobbling off-kilter, as the animator bumps it with their sleeve. Some animations made with larger figures, like this Paper Mario animation get away with camera shake, because the action is happening all over the room. Low Frame Rate A lot of new animators post movies they've made with still-cameras. Turn down the volume for this one ;-). No Story
