Time lapsing in iMovie, editing in Final Cut.

Credit to Caroline for the balloon highlight. ;)

I'm going to write comments about the process here because I felt that captions and annotations were distracting.

While drawing it out I hilariously had to balance the cardboard on my tablet box on top of a CD spindle on the keyboard tray and on the back of my chair.

Gecko and Lime Green paints were used at first but quickly found they sucked. I tried to use a white base, but just ended up switching paints.

I guess that's it really... this is the project that killed my iMac haha

As for the cup, they were selling them at McDonalds for the Olympics. So I'm not sure where you could get it anymore. Sorry!
