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. The video may take a few moments to load.

pretty freakin deep…I love it
Bro your a little darksided…. just a little. But it was creative none the less.
Hi Jonas
That’s great! Loved it.

Very nice…I’d never know you’re new to this stuff.
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)
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.
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?
I really liked the skeleton pulling itself along the floor. I think you’re a natural.
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.
Hey Jonas! I liked it….creative and creepy. Good Job! I hope to see you the next time you are visiting your Dad out here.
Take care and please send me any other work of yours that you want.
