G Star - Stop Motion Animation Video

I tried uploading my Stop Motion Animation video on to Blogspot, but it didn't work. 

The Process:

It was a two hour process composing photos with my little cousin's magnet sketch toy.  I featured my awesome drawings of things that start with the letter G. Gumby, goldfish, water Gun, and Giraffes. I wanted the animation to have a playful feel to it to complement the toy as if a little kid drew the drawings themselves. 

I began by taking photographs of the Fisher Price toy I stole from my four year old cousin. (kidding, he threw it at me when I asked to borrow it. Therefore, he gave it to me.) I previously conducted a list of all things I could think of that started with the letter G and drew those things on the toy. I took about 60 photos with my Canon Digital Rebel XTi and leveled all the images using iPhoto. I picked out a few of my favorite images and opened them in photoshop. 

In photoshop, I figured out the sequence in which I wanted my images in. I knew I wanted to show the images being erased on the toy after I showed a full image of the object. 

At the end of the animation, I featured the letter G with different saturations and effects to highlight its importance to the animation. 

The final product ended up with about 26 layers and 31 frames when I exported it into Quicktime. 

I had a lot of fun creating this animation because I've never done stop motion animation before. I loved the PES animations and plan to experiment more with stop motion later on in the future.
