thanks ray

haha is that a bad thing?

no it's so good.

oh thanks

its a series of pictures played in stop motion, as if it were clay animation. but each picture was taken on a tripod in a dark basement with a long, 10 second exposure. you wave a flashlight around and it kinda "burns" into the image over a period of 10 seconds.

(not dumb at all)

Thanks! That's more or less how i figured it worked, just wasn't sure.
Keep up the great vids!

i actually have a zr800 too! but i didnt use it for this. istopmotion is cool, but you can also just use a photo camera and then put all those pictures into something like imovie (i used final cut express, although i've used imovie before and i know that works fine too), set them to like 4 or 6 frames each. that's what i did, and i used a Sony DSC-H9.

You know, I didn't even think of doing that.
Did you have someone shooting for you? or did you use a timer? Or a cable release? Or telekinesis? Tell me your secrets.

there were 2 people. i was flashlight man, standing in front of the camera. then one of my friends was taking the pictures, standing behind the tripod.

the fact that im on vimeo alone means that im not doing my homework lol.

no but actually i shot this a while ago and just forgot about it.

You're never alone on Vimeo, Mitch.
