It's Christmas - A festive stop motion animation

[ikitt89]

The Dog! well played, ive always thort about using one of my cats in stop motion, but i know itll be ruined if they leave the room lol good work

[Christmasmemories1]

That was a neat video. I like the old fashioned style garland on the tree.

[AlwaysWishing1983]

I've never seen such a nice artificial tree!

[mezertin]

this is very cool

[funkymonkfred]

super shite

[gothbitch007]

wow the tree looks awesum i wish tht was my tree

[wilsondvd]

this is fantastic. i wish my christmas tree would put itself up and then put itself away after christmas. nice job as always.

[vamstarz]

thank you =) I had great fun making this animation, took ages but was definitely worth it. take care.

[meahschmeah]

[vamstarz]

Thank you for your lovely comment =)

[JackOfSpades93]

well, nice idea, and it sure was exhausting, but you know whats going to happen and its lame after a while.

the dog was adoreable.

[vamstarz]

thanks for your comment =)

[Hudson633rd]

Surprisingly well put together video, you made this just for youtube?

[vamstarz]

Yep, made it just for youtube.. and my own personal joy =P

[xxGUITARSANDSKATExx]

this really got me in the christmas spirit, o<:-D, (it's a smiley face with a christmas hat)

[vamstarz]

aww, i like the smiley face with hat, very festive =D

Merry Christmas, i'm glad you like it =)

Thank you and take care. x

[sgtjlopez]

WHOA!  HD! I didn't know they had that!

[vamstarz]

lol, yep they do. they only addede the HD feature recently =D thank you for your comment and have a very Merry Christmas!

[sgtjlopez]

So is it a check box, or a way that you have to export it on the computer...I do the 480x720--low hd--for my time lapse and new claymations--so is that good enough?  Or do I have to export it in like, 1080p?!

[vamstarz]

I think that 480x720 is fine, I do the low HD aswell and it seems to work for me. I don't check a box, I don't do anything special, just upload the video.

Try watching one of your own vids and see if there is a little thing at bottom right-hand corner of your vid saying "watch in HD". If there is, click on it and then your video will play in HD. Hope this helps =)

[sgtjlopez]

Yeah!  Still, I have been doing that... :( I will figure it out! What do you export it as? M4V, QT, DV, MPEG--I really doubt!

What program did you use? :) I hope not a PC program, because I refuse to use them after all the data that I have lost from them! Lol, Mac user...

[vamstarz]

Lol, i am a PC user. Would love a Mac, but can't afford one atm =(. I export in wmv. The program I use is pretty rubbish, it is called CyberlinkP PowerDirector. It came with my camcorder, but it doesn't let me do much, it is not really designed for stop-motion, it is for editing film. But anyway, i make do =) I am looking out for something better, i tried monkeyjam which is a free frame grabbing software for stop motion, but i didnt like it. What do you use?

[sgtjlopez]

I use iStopMotion--lol, an 'i' in everything Mac...

Yeah, I thought I couldn't afford a Mac too, but I decided to be skimpy on everything else. Don't own a car and don't buy on credit. I get stuff up front and when I can afford them ;)

The really good version for PC's is StopMotion Pro, from what I hear. I can't afford to buy anything for a PC...well, mainly because I don't want to lose all the software when we get rid of it. We only use Macs...except for the 1999 Gateway at my house. :)

i really like the tinsel bit at the end!

[vamstarz]

Thank you, I like that bit too =) I was trying to make it look like the tinsel was a snake and it was slithering up the tree =D Take care.

[sarahrd1212]

amazing!

it must have taken you ages!

[vamstarz]

Yep, it took about 15 hours altogether including preparation and editing. My Dad helped, he moved the tree for me when i was making it spin. Also my Mum threaded all the baubles with string so they were ready to be hung on the tree. It was a combined effort =)
