Stop motion fun

Maybe they should call it "Anti-fun"! Wow. Stop motion filming takes forever. I have to say for my first time I think I did an alright job. It's definitely time intensive and you have to jot down notes for items within the film that you want to remember to move or not move and when. I recommend you try it at some point. So the project took me a total of 7 hours to make using my 10.1 casio exilim digital camera. I used Windows movie maker to compose it and I used cooledit Pro for the sound editing. Everything isn't spot on, but I just didn't have the time to get things to match any closer.

Either way it was a fun project and a big part of me is VERY glad that it's over. Next time I'll do some planning for it instead of just winging it last minute and finding out how labor intensive it actually is...Sigh!
