Bridget Horn's most feared postman makes his presence known in the local village.
*
This is another crack at a stop motion animation test -my last one was about 4 years ago! Owing to that, I daresay I've quite a lot to improve upon. Mainly, in lighting and keeping the camera still - because one thing that irritated me with this was the lighting changing and my shots being poor/out of focus. I don't have all the gear, but I'd be interested in your feedback as to how you think this went in case I do decide to try this again sometime.
I've been watching a lot of stop-motion shows like Bob The Builder and Wind In The Willows lately, which have made me realise that I wouldn't mind making a SMA (Stop Motion Animated - abbreviated because i can't say it fully all the time :P) production. I think it'd be really good for me because A) I consider myself rubbish at drawing, and I'd be more so at doing 2D animation and B) Yet despite this, I love the field of animation and I'd love to get into it myself.
Very laborious (most animators get, what, 10 seconds shot per day?) but alas, Rome wasn't built at once. You've got to stick at it. It's like with anything really.
Or maybe, this whole 'Ethan Becomes The Next Cosgrove Hall' thing might just be a craze at the moment. Like Mr Toad himself in that respect. I'll see where I'm at this time next year :)
