Spent the weekend completely thoughtless. It was wonderful. Yesterday I struggled to come up with a new idea for a 12 Second Movie. I decided not to stress. This morning, for some unknown reason I got the idea to try playing with stop motion. I've always liked stop motion and really enjoy Robot Chicken. I figured it would be way outside of the time frame I like to devote to these little projects but, what the hell. I had nothing else to do!
I downloaded a software application called Stop Motion Pro v6.5. Simple enough to figure out for the purposes of my testing. I ran up to the local art supply place and picked up a couple of wooden models that I could pose and some black poster board. For subject matter, I decided to use something I know, Krav Maga. I played out a simple defense for choke from the rear. I didn't want to get too detailed till I got a feel for what it was going to take to have it look remotely decent.
I just loaded to first test to 12 Seconds of Caracappa. Please leave comments and let me know what you think!!
This little fellow was meandering across my driveway last night when Julie and I walked outside with the dogs to check out the full moon. Me, being video obsessed, ran and grabbed the camera. Turns out this little guy does not like the paparazzi and must have thought I was from TMZ or something.
