My wife and I enjoy making little stop-motion animations, and we use either my Panasonic GH6 or her Panasonic G9m2. Since we volunteer to do video/photography projects for a couple of local charities, we decided to create a little video to promote an upcoming golf fundraising event for the Assistance League of Northern Virginia, a charity that helps schoolchildren in the area where I live.
We did the animation on a table (see photo) with the camera suspended overhead. The tabletop was lit with two big softbox lights and one ring light around the camera. I used the GH6 with a Panasonic 8-18mm lens, and set the camera to the 50-megapixel high-resolution photo mode. This way, I had considerable leeway during editing to zoom into the image and still retain 1080p HD video resolution. Here's a photo of the setup:

Here is the resulting video, which has a still-image intro and a l-o-n-g still image outro that gives people time to read all the text and use the QR code. Be sure to turn up your sound to get the music & sound effects:
