The New Craze - Stop Action Movie Making

Well, Easter Sunday, Mat and I set out to create a short stop action movie. Actually, I was just the assistant and set director/artist. Mat is the brains behind the operation. He has recently gotten into playing war games with teeny tiny miniture figures. He has boxes of them from a guy he plays with. We used a few of these minitures to create the movie. About 120 pictures later, and a quick stream of running through the images, we have a short 30 second or so movie. Once Mat gets it all finished up, I'll post it.
You can see how images were shot and even how we had to make some quick last minute adjusments to the back drop when it began to fall over into the scene. Good thing we had some spare chop sticks and scotch tape around the house.
As for the critters, they weren't too interested in what we were doing. The one that showed the most interest was Murphy and that was only because there were boxes involved and something new to lay down on.
