First Time Parents

This revision adds a sound effect that is missing from the original upload. This short film was put together by people from all over the world. Plenty of animators helped with the story, once that was settled two puppet makers fabricated the hand knitted puppets. Props and puppets were sent to me and I animated them all. Once all the shots were animated the film was sent away to have sound effects and music added. A separate person worked on the opening locator shot and another worked on the fireball shot. It was all put together and this is the wonderful result. The puppets have aluminum wire armatures, I shot the frames 24fps on ones, captured at 640x480 on my digital camera, then uploaded 800x600 into stopmopro. Sound editing was done in Audacity. The final avi file was compressed in Quicktime Pro. The film took over a year to complete. Any other questions please contact me.

and just so you know, yes, I really burned the props, I took a torch to them to help the fire effect.

The animation is good, but the characters scare the crap out of me. Would there have been by any chance to have requested for less creep characters?

Can you rename videos once they've been uploaded? If you can, maybe renaming it First Time Parents (with no .mov at the end) might make it more search engine friendly... Other than that, the finished film is amazing!
