For Stop Motion it is normal to use a stills camera, however to change up the technique a bit I am considering using the BMCC as it is a very high-quality camera and using the time lapse function in the camera I can take a frame every certain amount of time, giving me an opportunity to move the figures around before the next frame is taken. This is also for convenience as the footage will already be in video format and I will be able to watch the footage back in video form immediately after taking it rather than having to wait til editing to see the stills stringed together.
Of course this will present a time frame problem as I will have to ensure I have moved everything that needed to be moved within the time I have set myself as to not get caught in shot during the next frame, however this is a risk I am willing to take so I have the ability to watch the footage back as it is intended to be viewed straight away.
