Rude Awakening (Stop-Motion)

[kiyakotari]

I've taken another crack at some stop-motion animation using one of the dolls. Been meaning to do so for a while now, but just haven't had the free time. It takes forever, and I'm still getting the hang of it (plus, my frame rate isn't quite as high as it should be), but I'm pleased with the results. This is only 7 seconds long, and that's including the fade! Still, I only had one toppling-doll incident, and everyone survived (though I had to lock the cat out of my bedroom, because she was far too interested in the whole process).

Er, let's just say Jian is high as a kite drugged out of his mind under the influence of pain medications due to some undefined injury, and that's why Wren doesn't wake him up when she's doing all that moving around. ^_^;; (The truth is, I didn't feel up to trying to do all this sequential posing with two dolls at once yet. So he gets to stay under the blankets there, looking asleep, and all you see is the back of his head.)

that's super great! It has kind of an old-timey quality because of the slight jerkiness of the movements followed by smoothness. You could make a kick ass horror/action flick like that ^_^

It does have that old, lower-fps or hand-cranked film feel to it, doesn't it? I hadn't thought of that. Hmmmmm....
