Stop Motion Mario *PREVIEW ONLY*

This version shows how it looked like *before* playing with it in After Effects. What still needs to be done:
+ motion stabilisation
+ 16:9 cropping
+ removing lego supports (like yellow blocks)
+ wire removal
+ removal of the white tracking points

You can watch the final version here:

I like this it is very good I suck at stop-motion. Funny at the end YAY LEGO (P.S. Its spelt coopa)

[gas01ine]

thanks! in fact, it's spelled KOOPA but hence it was an ad for an imaginary money bank i thought it was much more likely that a somewhat respectable bank would bear the name "cooper"

your nick is similar than mine in "Flickr" :)

very good job.... how much time for this work?

[gas01ine]

one very long afternoon. about 6 hours of animation, 2 hours of cutting out the pieces and two days post production.

[nitrogeb]

a lot of time!!

[gas01ine]

Actually I was talking about the big Koopa at the end (too). Same materials. And when faced straght and lit from the camera it looks as if it was Lego but again: Printout on cardboard, two strings and a piece of Lego taped on the backside (= for having some weight when keeping balance when in the air)

[Splatball]

cool! and how did you make a LEGO koopa?

[gas01ine]

its a printout that was glued onto a cardboard and then cut out. actually just like the other in-game sprites but a lot bigger

[Splatball]

hod did you make the koopa?
