At one point while I was gloating to myself over how many 640x480 photos my camera can hold at once (over 600), I got to wondering what one would ever use so many photos for. When Isaac was visiting, we got to make up one answer: stop-motion movies!
We filmed nine shorts, two to fifty seconds, two of them on Saturday (in 20 minutes), and the others on Sunday. My friends Dave, Craig, and Ross were involved as well as me, Lisa, and Isaac. It was great fun, and some of them are really funny.
These are big downloads, between 1.5 and 6.5MB each. For a five to ten second film, that’s a lot, I know. I’ll release some more web-friendly versions later on, hopefully.
A tip for those of you making quicktime on a mac: you must “flatten” the movie so it will playable online. Otherwise you’ll end up with a bunch of bandwidth wasted by movies with munged resource forks.
Now, without any further ado, I present the debut works of the film collective Stop-N-Go Theatre.
Gads! Reminds me of my old highschool days doing stop motion with an old 8mm cam of my friends! Thanks for going there! Great blog too quite amusing. :)
