Claymation Fun

Well, it's been a while since my last blog post (plus I need a reason to procrastinate my homework for a little longer) so I figured I'd share with everyone my experimenting with stop motion animation.

Now, I actually uploaded this video to Youtube a week or two ago, but I hadn't blogged about it. I used my new camera that I received for Christmas to take the photos, and let me tell you, stop motion animation is harder than it looks. I ended up using the camera freehand (without a tripod or anything to hold it still) which was my first mistake. Also, I chose a space with limited access (a small window sill) to shoot the video, which was my second mistake. The whole thing is pretty short but it's a fun little video that I enjoyed making and people who have seen it have given it positive feedback, though I think I can do better. I'll let you watch and decide for yourself. Let me know what you think in the comments.



Thanks for watching and I hope you liked it. I hope to continue experimenting with stop motion animation, but with school starting back up I haven't had much time to do blog-related fun stuff. Keep checking back for new posts and I'll see if I can do something fun to show you guys.

Winter Weather War

Well, as promised, I have video of our very first winter airsoft battle. It's more a highlight reel than anything because I didn't get a lot of continuous action video, but I enjoy it nonetheless. The day would have been a lot more fun had my gun not malfunctioned, but it was happening to a lot of people. I guess that's just what happens when its cold. I suppose it wasn't all bad though because it allowed me to more easily record the video. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and I hope you will be too.



I hope everyone enjoyed that. Let me know what you think in the comments. More pictures and videos on the way so be sure to stop back later!
