Homemade stopmotion animation

[Yason]

Hello there,

For entry in a animation film festival in 2013 I remade this animation from an earlier draft. I made new titles, re-edited it and tried to better the sound and animation. Alas it wasn't selected for the competition so I'm a bit disappointed. What do you think about it?

Well, I liked it. Very nicely done.

@Jessica: thank you, I already feel a bit better now

Stop motion videos scare me for some reason. Either way great job! It looks very well done.

Nicely done!

I played with clay and other stop motion stuff a couple years ago. It's quite a bit of work. I wanted to make my characters walk and learned quickly enough why you don't usually see the feet of animated characters while they're moving around. Never tried to make them talk.

@macquariumguy: I agree stop motion is al lot of work but can also be very rewarding. For a first clip I think your effort is quite good. A bit to ambitious perhaps becuase if you want a puppet to move believably you should take more frames in a second then you did.
Look at this example I found on youtube:
