Heartstrings

I liked this little stop-motion love story.

My Other Inspiration

The wife sent me this video the other day that also helped get the ball rolling on my little stop-motion cookie attack. It's The Guggenheim Grotto singing "Her Beautiful Ideas."

Cookies Came to See Me

Sometimes things just come together the way you want them to. Thanks, Amy!

Flatware in Love: Or, How to Make an Afternoon Disappear

After seeing David Pogue's video on creating stop-motion movies using free software, I got a bee in my bonnet and wanted to make one. So, I bought a cheap webcam (Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000) found the software (Stop Motion Pro v5), downloaded their trial version, and made a little film about silverware at odds with each other. I used Audacity for the sound and Microsoft's Movie Maker to finish it off. I then loaded it onto YouTube. It's silly, and it has the watermark of the trial version, so I'll have to try it again with a bit more preparation. It's here.
