some stop-motion fun

[grinner]

I've love stop motion animation since the mid 80s and today the boys and I busted out some coolness in the backyard with some action figures and some left over fireworks.

That's awesome, I love stop motion. Coraline looked so good, I hate how there are so many animated movies now that use computer animation stuff to make it.

We tinkered with another one last weekend and it resulted in pitting the lens of my camera.

very cool. i wish my old man did stuff like that with me when i was a younging.

 

[03cobra#694]

That was really cool.How long did take to do that?

 

[grinner]

Maybe a half hour to shoot and a couple of hours in the edit suite. We work quick together. My sons have shot with and for me for several years although they are just 12 and 9. I freelance em as videographers at motorsports events:

[grinner]

holy crap is right. Be careful out there. Keep it at the track.

 

[supercarkiller]

nice work man! LOL

 

[BLOWN PONY]

So how long did it take to shit after the 144MPH video? Cause I know your ass was puckered tighter than a two year old!

 

[Gallows]

Awesome vid. Props to you and your boys:beer:

 

[grinner]

thanks man. We sure have fun with it. They just enjoy the time I spend with em. They really couldn't care less about video itself. lol

 

[Black Talon]

Looks like fun.

 

[CobraBob]

Your two boys are very talented for sure. Looks like you've trained them well.

 

[grinner]

thank you very much. They've had cameras in their hands since they could hold em. Still freaks people out sometimes when I bring such small bodeis on a shoot as freelancers. I'd rather hire them than St. Louis' A crew freelancers any day.
