Building a Turtle

Here is a three minute replay of many, many hours of work (100+, because of all the having to stop to take pictures!)

But, I thought you might enjoy it.

The music is also mine, a pretty simple progression with Am, C, G, F, E. Pretty neat, eh? Got my hands on my sister's electronic keyboard for everything but the guitar.

P.S - If you want to see more of my work, check out vanderworks.deviantart.com , or search for Vanderworks Creations on Facebook!

P.P.S - Yes, the head and legs aren't as realistic. You may like this one better: http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/268/9/f/turtle_by_vanderworks-d2zgl1n.jpg . It's my first one, where I figured it all out. For this turtle, I simplified it a bit because it was taking a lot longer because of the pictures.

@TheWireDude42 Go for it! I'd like to see how it turns out ;)

This is impressive. You got some very detailed work here. I do some similar stuff with wire and I could not imagine stopping every few minutes for a picture. I respect how much time it must have taken to put that video together. I have been thinking about doing video similar to this for a while. This might be the inspiration needed to get me going on it.

@konijnism never said it would have to please everyone. it was just out of context. like watching a beautiful new sports car at an exhibition, filled up with chili beans for some reason. one might not be surprised if i say "why is this cool car filled up with beans? it kinda ruins the whole image". and again, no offense to anyone, just speaking my mind here :)

@naaaaaagz @naaaaaagz Taste in music is subjective. It varies with each person. Our tastes are equal in value and importance. Your taste in music is no better or worse than mine. We should all respect the choices of this video's creator and recognize that the music, lighting, whatever, is an expression of the artist's creativity. This video is not obligated to, and in fact can not, please every single viewer.
