Music used by permission : “Shrimp Gumbo” by Big Dog Small Fence. They were a great Indy ska band from So Cal. I’ve loved this song for YEARS and finally got around to using it for a project. I hope I did it justice.

After the college tuition program we were planning on using for my children’s education went bankrupt (Alabama PACT), I started thinking out of the box. We’ll send a personal note and some “Love seeds” so anyone you’d like. I’ve been growing this particular strain of sunflowers for YEARS. I grow them every year to show my wife I Love her. Why not start a tradition with those you Love? All proceeds will go to my children’s education.

Welcoming translations of this description into all languages.

Video Info:

It took me over 80 hours to make.
I used Final Cut Express, iStopMotion,
The camera used was a Canon Rebel T1i (500D).

    When he was …
    When he was thinking about his girlfriend (with the hot pigtails) it was a double blue screen/ triple stop motion combo. I bluescreened the thought bubbles (paper I cut out) and compiled them at a really low frame rate, then shot the images of his ever-so-lovely. Chroma keyed the thought bubbles out, and chroma keyed the gal out. Then simply place the bubble layer on top of gigglepants thinking, and place the chick layer on top of that. It’s pretty easy! I use Final Cut Express.

    i really like this. i started using stop motion briefly last year at college and i’m going to give it another shot this year. towards the beginning where the thought clouds pop up with the girl model in the bubble, i assume you added this effect in final cut? how did you layer it? i need all the techniques i can get :)
    great work
