I need Help / Tips for my First Stop Motion Video

Hey guys The First Stop Motion video I made has Poor Audience retention and I have to clue why. It seems they bounce out at the 40%-50% mark. This makes me sad because stop-motion is a lot of work. So it's very important to get some honest reviews on my Video.
So If you got 4 mins to tell me what's wrong Let me know, please.

This is not my house it's from Bettybackwoods99 I saw it on Maxis Curated. I just chose it to make my first stop motion speed build.

  • I really like it and agree it is hugely time consuming so commend you on your effort! I agree that the transitions between view should be slower. I also think the camera should be angled a bit more straight on when doing the building and roofs and I bit more zoomed out when inside the building. So just think about framing a bit more. but otherwise its a nice little build and agree that you have all the mechanics there.
  • Hi! looks like you got most of the mechanics down. As for a tip I would suggest zooming out more. The camera is too zoomed in on the thing being added when you can zoom out and we can see multiple things being added to a broader area if that makes sense. Also when you span from one angle to the next I would slow down the speed at which it switches. It would make it look less choppy. Otherwise great work I know how long it takes to make these I just finished my first one today too
