WOW! That was... PHENOMANAL!!!!! 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999/6

Sorry! It went off the screen! 999999999999999999999999999999/6

brillient brillient brillient!!!!!!!!!!!!
so good keep up the good work.

THAT WAS AMAZING HOW DID YOU DO IT!

It's what I tell my kids ALL the time. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. Great job by the way.

That was very wonderful!!! Well done!! You definitely have a spot at Aardman one day buddy! I bet! Nice job on the lips moving in sync with the words!!!! =)

thats just amazing!! how long did it take to do the movie? how many fps is used? if 24? do you take 2 each time or is it only 1?

Thanks everyone! Luffse- It took about two months to shoot but there were a bunch of technical setbacks and problems. I use iStopMotion 2 to capture the frames and iMovie to edit. I used 24 fps, but sometimes i would shoot 2 frames for slower movements.

Iantimothy, do you use the basic, express or pro version of Istopmotion, as I also own an apple macintosh computer?

i use istopmotion 2 express

Awesome antimation indeed! I agree with the others, the lip sync was perfect! The story line well thought out, and the morale of the story was strong. Nice job on bringing down the lighting during the thunderstorm. The background sounds and audio were well matched to the action. I'm still tapping my foot to "Down on Beaver Creek". Keep up the great works! Looking forward

THANKS!

This is really a GREAT.........animation. I'm sure it took a lot of work & I love the Beaver Creek Song.

All i can say is WOWWWW!

I love the set and i like the voices did you record the voices?

How did you do the raining effect? and how many frames was that?

Have you got any other videos?

Sorry for all the questions!

Welldone

Thanks! my dad did the voice of the characters and we pitched them up. the rain is an effect i have in a program called imovie. It was 24 FPS. I have done some other little tests since i was about 11 but this is the only one on the internet.

I know a lot of work went into this great production. I am so impressed that you not only started, continued and finished the project (at your age, persistence is not always a virtue), but that it is so beautifully done. Congratulations on a fine product and an incredible first attempt! T.Showalter

Thanks Ian for your reply,

The effects are just great i would love to be able to do movies like that have a look at my movie that i have made- benwhite.info then go to video cinema,

Thanks
Ben

cool!

This is AMAZING!!!!!! Well Done!!! It looks totally professional. We loved the explosions, and the storm, and the way the beaver and duck look at each other! The lip syncing is perfect, as is the comic timing. Also, the story line is really funny---we laughed so hard that the instructions referenced cocoons---very clever! (and we never saw it coming!)

We can't wait for the next episode....

this is awsome! how did you make things fly thu the air, and how did you make your mini boxes and instructions? please reply!!!

Thanks, for the flying I took a picture of the duck and the pill, cut them out in photoshop then animated them in a program called flash. For the boxes and instructions, they where made in illustrator which is a drawing program, and then printed out.

Well Done!!

I am making a set but i need to make the realistic trees like you have on your video, i would like to know how you made the trees so ralistic? What materials did you use to make the tress the twigs eg.

Thanks,
Ben

Thanks. The trees are actually just sticks from my yard, with plastic greenery on them. The pine trees are Christmas decorations, and the twigs are little tiny sticks.

:wallace4:big fan of:wallace1: u got my own animation studios

:wallace3:

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

THAT WAS THE BEST CLAYMATION EVER THAT SHOULD BE A TV SHOW!

Fantastic I am working on an animation at the moment! Any tips?

also, how did you do your lip sync, cz wen i do it i just take loads of photos and stretch out the odd photo that needs to be held longer for the word, and i figure it out on the suite, but how do u do it so it just flows nicely with the sound??
sorry to ask too many questions lol!

and how did you do the theme song?

Thanks! Wallacey- You need to work really hard on the story, you will need a camera with manual focus, so it doesn't focus on you whenever you walk in front of it, i put up a curtain in my room to keep the light from flickering, and you will an armature is also very important too. if you need any other tips just ask

Jamie Q- I use itopmotion, and i pull in the audio to there and it shows me the waveforms and i listen to it frame by frame to match it up. And my dad is a musician, so he recorded the theme song for me.

when will you next animation be pleace let me no


im a big fan could u geve me some tips

I am working on Episode 2 right now, it will be posted probably in a couple months. what kinda tips do ya want.

oh thats cool, so you listen to the wave things and work out how that will fit before you film?
do you do like a chart saying like frame 1-B, frame 2-EA, frame 3-VER etc??

also please look on my youtube channel and tell me what you think! just search jamiequinlan on channels

i don't make charts or anything but i just look at the sound waves and match the mouth to that, i really liked your videos, especially sarah the slug, and Cats and Dogs, the lip synch is really good!

Okay it was good, but why can't you take cocoons near it for twenty-four hours??? 4/6

dat is so cute!!! GREAT work!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! that was so gd i can not wait till episode 2!!!!!!!!!!!

Do u hav 2 pay for istopmotion 2 express

yeah, you have to buy it. istopmotion 2 is 50 dollars but express is 99 dollars, and you can download a 5 day demo to make sure you like it first.

how did u make the storm it lookd gr8

The storm was done in a combination of ways, the rain was done in iMovie, it has a rain effect, the water dripping down the characters were little beads, and then i used rain sound effects to make it sound real.

kwl

really gd music as well

doz imovie cost money if so how much

imovie is only a mac program, but if you have a mac it comes with it.

do u recomend any 4 windows XP? Thanx

i would use stopmotion pro, and windows movie maker, i guess. I don't know much about windows though.

wow that is a really good animation

Wooooooooooow. . . Wish I could animate like you. . . You did make this, didn't you?

hehe, yeah i made it.
