New Music Video!!!

So I realized that it has been a while since I did a stop-motion film. I was recently handed a song to do a video for by Mad Dragon Records. The track is by an upcoming band called, The Company We Keep.

They had a darker vibe to them, so I figured why not do a stop-motion music video. Only this type of animation can be two things, goofy or creepy. The only problem though was that the song is four minutes long. And if you know this type of animation, you have to shoot a photo (frame) for each action that your subject in front of camera makes. Now there is twenty frames in one second. With a four minute video, that equals out to be 240 seconds. THAT'S A LOT OF PHOTOS!

The song is about a down and out girl, so I made the video take place in a dark creepy attic with toys and dolls. My parents neighber and good friend of mine, Kathrine, had all these old dolls and just handed me over the box saying, "HERE!"

I found one doll in particular that stood out more then the others. And when I say stood out from the others, I'm saying had no hair, big blue eyes, and most of all was fuckin' creepy!

Shooting in the attic was the hardest thing. With all the lights and the hot weather outside, I had to keep a fan on my equipment from the radiating heat.

We are almost done with the edit and will post the video soon, but thought some stills might grab your interest...
