I talked to John Hodgman on twitter a couple of times, and as a thank you he sent me a numbered and signed print of his latest piece of writting, “More Information Than You Require.” Notice the #134 in the bottom right hand corner. A few weeks later, he sends me another thank you… this time…
After my first experiment with making a stop motion short (see earlier post Hands), I’ve become a little more ambitious. This was created entirely from nearly 1,000 stills taken with my Canon EOS 5D DSLR. The music is a piece called ‘Big Milk’ by Dan Deacon. My friend Adam Briehl stars. I hope you enjoy it….

I started by snapping pictures at long exposures at dusk as I was walking down the street (the part with all the bouncing lights). After pulling the photos into Final Cut, I thought the Dan Deacon song sounded good with those images, but then, I started getting ideas for more… Adam with the skeleton make-up, the fire-engine, and the little girl spinning in the sink. The rest grew out of that.
I really liked the skeleton pulling itself along the floor. I think you’re a natural.
I can’t stop grinning. That’s what this did. I have to ask, did you have the song in mind when you took the pictures?
LOL. True, that was a great scene, but that’s what special feature DVD’s are all about. Not for showing the deleted scenes, but for talking about them.
Very nice. I really enjoyed seeing how it was tied together. Being pulled in from a very strange demented place.
P.S. The BEST scene, clearly the most profound and perfect – the one that I was in – got edited out. (note Fire Walk With Me special features humor)
Very nice…I’d never know you’re new to this stuff.
Hi Jonas
That’s great! Loved it.
