# as am i
try to set a quota for yourself each day, at least 30 seconds of footage. i personally get discouraged easily so chugging along is the best answer.

# and as we can see from my mess here
having constant lighting is a bonus. might build a little light box to shoot my scenes in

# i have the same problem
don't ever shoot stop motion in natural light unless it's intended or unavoidable; any light works, even a desk lamp, but the main thing is to make sure whatever camera you're using is not set to autofocus or autoexposure; that's what will come back to bite you.
