The Twitchy Watcher

This is my short stop-motion film I completed tonight for my final project of the school year. I'll be presenting it to my class tomorrow. It's been a long road learning about stop-motion and this film certainly has many flaws, and lord knows I made about every mistake you can along the way, but It was such a great experience and even though I had pretty tight time restraints, I can't wait to make another one with more sophisticated characters and lighting. -big sigh of relief- Crikey!!1 I need a beer.

It was originally called "Secret Admirer" up until a couple of nights ago. I wasn't too happy with it and I didn't want to just settle for it, so I'm quite happy with the new one. Feels a little more authentic and fitting. :)

Thank you to all my lovely viewers who commented on my last video, not to mention every other video I post. You guys are lovely and really brighten up my day.

Hope you enjoy :)

@chubbyslugbebe - Oh hey you!! Aw, thanks so much! I'm actually working on another stop-motion film... it should be finished in about 2 weeks! I'll post it on here :)

aww you rock my dear. and what a happy ending!

[higoaway]

@kasprus13 thank you :):):)

[yakounette]

Awesome ! I cant hardly imagine the amount of work involved O.o

A small downside though : the music is a little choppy at some times (during sting parts mostly).

[higoaway]

@yakounette Thank you so much! And yeah, I noticed that too =| I screened the full quality one at school yesterday, and I don't believe it had the same problem. Probably an issue when I was compressing it.

Very nice, liked the "grand finale", very much. It tells a nice story and the music is great.

This is awesome! It has the darkly innocent feel of a Tim Burton/Danny Elfman film, and despite disappointing my morbid sense of humor (which is probably a good thing, because I probably would have ended up going with a twisted yet funny ending, one that would have ended in kitty being lonely but with a full tummy), it was excellent! These unlikely friends make for a good story.

This just blew my mind, Clare. I can't even begin to imagine the work that went into this. This is absolutely amazing. I bow down to your awesomeness.

This is really awesome work. The animation reminds me of something like Tim Burton. You are incredibly talented. What would you like to do for a career?
