A few other pics from my animation stage setup - every prop on its place, lighting in position and the camera is on a little slider I made. Details in concern of the slider soon.

All set up: It took me two days to figure out the lighting setup - as a natural sound person and even though I`ve been watching best boys and gaffer doing their job on a real-size film set, I was keen on trying it myself. I had considerations of the key, back and fill light and tried to pursue the best possible lighting I could personally achieve - now that I had more advanced lighting gear at hand (I already imagined shooting with simple desk lamps or plain LED panels, thanks to some pals, that was not the case :) I used two soft boxes (one for the background, one for the fill light) and two headlights, one with a blue effect foil as a key light/ daylight simulation and one with a plain WD foil as the backlight (I somewhere read it would make figures in the image more three-dimensional, and I hoped it would figure out). After moving all the lights to their perfect spot, I then was in need to get my hands on the final camera settings...
