EEEEEEEEE!!!!! I'm so excited to share with you my first attempt at stop motion. I did a really quick job of this one 'cause I was SO excited to try it out AND so excited to share my new handmade creation, inspired by "Where the Wild Things Are". So, here it is. Enjoy the next 37 seconds. (I still need to learn how to add music to a video.)
After sewing it up, this is what it looks like:
"Where the Wild Things Are" is Mr. WhiMSy love's favorite childhood book. In fact, on our honeymoon in San Francisco, we passed by a toy shoppe, I spied a copy of the book in the window & purchased it as a gift for him. We're TOTALLY psyched to see the movie, which comes out October 16th.
I'm in love with how the puppet turned out. (Originally inspired by a Monster Glove Puppet seen in the book entitled The Felt Book by Clare Beaton.) I'm also in love with Stop Motion. It was a fun adventure to follow a new creative path! I'm working on a couple more Wild Thing "monsters" & a Max finger puppet too. (I think I know what my nephew is getting for Christmas this year!)

Love the stop motion!! You'll have to show me how you did that, cause I haven't a clue! I would imagine that it's time consuming though...

I love it!!! I love the stop-motion! I love the puppet! I love it all!
ReplyDeleteAaaaand I'm jealous/inspired. I SOOOO want to make my own now. ^_^

ReplyDeleteThe trailer for that movie chokes me up every time. I just can't be happy when I see something nostalgic that I love...I must cry! :)
ReplyDeleteThat stop motion little movie rocked! I was spellbound (and wondering how LONG it took!)
Oh! My word verification just came up as "dorable" you know, like a quick "adorable" ha! Perfect for stop motion!
LOVE the puppet and that video- how cool is that?!! Are you going to be selling those puppets- what great gifts they would make for christmas!!
ReplyDeleteThat was so cute I had to watch it 3 times! In a row! :)
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm kind of a lurker on this blog, but I've commented once before. This is too cool for school. You have got to tell us what you used to do this, my 8yr old son LOVES stop motion and wants to make one of his own, please help!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the movie also! how do you do stop motion. so cool. I think you may need to do a demo somehow.
ReplyDeleteYou are THE most creative mum on the net I'e ever met (virtually or not)
ReplyDeleteAwsome video and awsome puppet.
My little girl was asking me for a crocodile. I think I'll use your model, if you allow me. so i'm asking for your permission. :)
cheers!
Oh we all love this book. My cousin gave it to my little son! The drawings are great and your wild thing is.... wow.
