God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - Annie Lennox - Stop Motion Animation

[mjrchapin]

I don't get it--the original video was truly astonishing in every way with remarkable video techniques. Why make this puppet version? Why not do your own creative video?

[dkiggins]

@mjrchapin I am surpirsed that you feel my video lacks creativity. They are actually not puppets but Tonner Dolls. I make the Annie Lennox videos to give another interpretation to her songs and also maybe part of me wants to pay tribute to Annie Lennox. I do the recreation in doll version to in a way simplify and look at the artwork in a different light. That is what art is all about - How one's interpretation of looking at an art piece and what it means to that person.

Very nice :)

LOL not hating but you do realize you are playing with a barbie doll right ?

[dkiggins]

@FatTonyCologino

Actually it is NOT a "barbie" doll but I use Tonner dolls in the stop motion videos. They are much more impactive and great because they simulate the human body as close as I can find. What would you recommend I use? LOL

[FatTonyCologino]

@dkiggins Lol Idk man. I just had this funny image in my head of an adult playing with a doll lmao. I know you must of spent quite a bit of effort as well and I thought it was a bit quirky I guess. Sorry if I offended you at all that was not my intention.

@WaterboyPhx

I know. Its sometimes the best I can do. If I keep trying to take the time to do it all perfect....I would never get it done. Thank you for your comment and constructive criticism. But from now on...I will have all mouth movements better thought out and implemented.

GREAT! Well done!

I wonder how you make the eyes and mouth move?

[dkiggins]

@1961WF2909

I make the movement of the eyes and mouth by taking those frames into photoshop. Thank you for noticing.
