Home Made Stopmotion (13+)

Groeneg

A clip I made as a kind of promo for a festival of which I am a big fan. It's rated 13+ so be aware!
Try this link to see the clip.


The festival in question (International Film Festival Rotterdam) was held three months ago. Its mainly about showing of films of independent and new movie makers who otherwise wouldn't be able to show their movies. The films shown are from all over the world and all themes and sorts.

So even with the festival already gone yet, perhaps you enjoy this amateur clip I made as a kind of promo for it.

Comments are welcome,

Cool. and a suiting choice of music too. I wouldn't say it's innovative enough to win something though, did you enter it? don't mean to be so critical, I do like it. What software do you use to create these stopmotion animations btw? Roughly how long did this take and did you actually use plasticene or is it computer rendered?

1. No I did not win anything. There was no competition. It was just a clip made be a fan of the IFFR
2. I used Stomotionpro. I started with a free version.
3. This clip I made during 2 weekends.
4. I used FIMO which is less sticky then plasticine and has more color. I used some 800 digital still pictures to make this.

I do feic all, basically i'm an architecture student in belfast and lookin for other mediums in which to break out of after college (although i'll probably stick with architecture). I just like the idea of making a living out of art and creative stuff..

I'm making a living as a freelance business consultant.
Animation and other creative stuff I do as a hobby.

Making a living as an animator is very hard. There are but a little few who manage it.

That's an interesting hobby to have. I'd like to get into it but the amount of work involved seems hard to justify it..:(

Not to be sound philosophical, but isn't life full with that?

So i encourage you to just try it. There's free software on the internet to start with and everybody nowadays has a digital camera of some sorts.

Good luck!
