The little "angel" from next door brought some toys round so I made a little stop motion film for a bit of fun:

Fantastic, I love stop motion. Very smooth as well.

I remember once doing a pair of shoes walking around the house. I obviously had nothing better to do with my time.

I see a trend starting here...

I used to do stop motion animation when I was about 11. I used a Super 8 cine camera. Nearly blew myself up by making rocket engines from ignited pressurised cannisters. I was trying to do something like thunderbirds, but animated.

I filed a hot air baloon I made when I was a kid once. As it took off the wind blew and it set light to my neightbours tree, made good filming though.

I started making a stop motion movie around 4 years ago. I was planning on making it an hour long, so I didn't bother to make smooth animations. I used a bunch of star wars toys and an old Connectix webcam. It was never finished because of the mess I'd make in my room trying to set up scenery. Hopefully, I'll get to upload it now. My FTP server isn't working well.

Can I see a demo now? [edit]Disregard, I saw the demo.

TKF15H - Did you manage to upload your movie?

Las6 - yeah the splash screen was a bit long, it helped my dvd player out though (I made a DVD of it as a test - if i made the film any shorter my dvd player decides to only play a few frames of it).

Nope, I still can't connect to my site.
I found out that it was in an uncompressed AVI format, so it's 24mb for 13 seconds. I compressed it to ZIP and that shrunk down to 14mb. Still big. Does anyone recomend any (FREE!!) programs for movie compression?

lol, i love it! the musics cool and the sounds are great too. very smooth. i like to do stop-motion whenever the urge hits me and i have free time, i should dig up some of my stuff. heh, my stuff is pretty jumpy, but that's cause it's only about four frames per second, lol. clay is great to use, because you can take apart the models and make funny gorey stuff. i made one for english class once where a dog bit the head off of someone, lol. that was great. ah, now i'm gonna have to go make some more stop motion, lol.

oh, wow. insignificantpunks.cjb.net. we like orange treble clef notes, just for future reference.

no: website for progs yet.

I think VirtualDub fits all your movie-editing needs. Well, most of the technical side, at least.
