I made a mini movie
#1
Sooooo, I've wanted to get into film making for a while. The problem is... I have no video camera. I do, however, have this sweet regular camera. Therefore, I decided to take a stab at doing a stop motion video. I didn't spend a lot of time at all on it and didn't have a script for it, but now the ideas are flowing and I hope that this will be the first of many (and hopefully more exciting) stop motion videos that I'll make.

Enjoy!

heh that stop motion stuff is so fun, but tedious! I made a short one with hotwheels cars when I was like 6, it took forever.

Cute movie, but I didn't see any poking! Sad

That was pretty damn cool jack, and very creative. I like the use of hovergirl.

did you really use stop motion when you could have just dropped frames? i suppose that would entail serious editing... would be interesting to compare the production time of each... anyway, cool video.

many digital cameras take video.

Well, the idea was that I wanted it to be stop motion through and through. I didn't want to deal with (too much) frame by frame editing.
I toyed with iStopMotion, but that sucks since you don't have granular control over duration of individual frames, so I just used finalcut.
I'm sure there's some way to do stop motion using finalcut or premier with a proper video clip, but doing the timing that I did would be hell.

actually... it's kinda crazy that it took so little time. The next one I do will be much longer and I'm sure it'll be more time consuming since I'm going to do some crazy effects :-) This one took maybe two hours to shoot even without a script and no experience (so i didn't know what to shoot really). Then it took around two hours to put together. That was just doing some timing things, audio editing, and going through the images.

I can't wait to do my next one.
