more delicious stop motion

today was one of those days.  i don't know if you get them, the day when you're crabby no matter what and you just want to lie in bed and do nothing...?
yeah that's me today.
haha
but i did stumble upon another great stop animation video. these always cheer me up. 
i made one in college over the christmas break once so i know exactly how much time and meticulous planning it takes.  but they're like pure magic unfolding and so worth it in the end.
i want to make another one soon, but i've always been stumped on the script idea.  maybe i should just skip that and make one about nothing.  just to do it again.  
oh and in case you're wondering why i can't post my film in this blog entry.  it's not online and the dvd is in canada. it will have to wait for another time.  but here's this:
(what do you do to cheer up?)

  2. Nice! I really liked that one. I wonder if this was more difficult than the OK Go video. There's lots of planning involved with either one. I hope you get to do some more stop-motion soon. I'm actually plotting one out, and I hope to shoot it as soon as I have a good chunk of time.
    Oh, and some of my cheering resources: comedians, sitcoms, Flight of the Conchords, and anything that can make me laugh. Going out is also good. Just make sure you don't take a lot of money, or at least don't go near shops and hairdressers.

  3. That is awesome!!! I loved it! I think you should try doing one again! I would love to see what you came up with. Then, I think you should post a tutorial on how to do it, so the people who are brave enough can try doing it themselves!haha! Very cool!

  10. That was a very creative video-- great way to start my Saturday!

    Hmmm, when I need to cheer up it usually involves a big mug of hot chocolate, some snuggles with DH or my daughter, and a good book!

    Stopping by from SITS Saturday Sharefest!

  11. I cheer up by going to my Flickr faves, and choosing one, go to their faves and choose one. Repeat until I'm all cheered up! Beautiful photos like your do the trick. Thanks for visiting me in blogland from Flickr. :)
