Info about the project:
About three months in the making from concept to final video.
Shot on a Canon Rebel XS using Dragon Stop Motion Software.
Over 1,400 stills were shot.
Over 500 still images of Jesse were photographed, printed, then cut out one by one.
Dozens of lyrics were drawn, colored and cut out.
Many rolls of gaff tape were used.
We averaged about 5 seconds of animation per night, while working day jobs.
The electricity was done in After Effects, as well as some of the opening scene lighting.

it was really time-consuming, wasn't it?
and you really covered up those walls?
Great stop motion work.
I'm a high school teacher and would like to use your video clip as inspiration for my students. They will create paper collages as a first step towards creating a movie poster (they're working on their own videos).
Can you send me a link to download your video? The school site restricts access to vimeo and youtube. Need the clip before Monday, 11/29. The use will strictly be for educational purpose.
Also if there's anything you want me to share with them about your process or using collage in filmmaking, feel free to let me know.
Thanks!
Lily
Thanks for the interest in our video. I've made it so you can download the mp4 file. If you're on the video page, the download link is just above the video statistics. Let us know if there are any problems.
