"Rise and Shine" a short film by Doug Smith

Meet Mel, just your ordinary college student cramming for tomorrow's big test. After oversleeping her alarm on final exam day, objects within her house begin animating themselves in an attempt to get her to her class on time.

I created this film for film 172, an intermediate film production class, at UC Santa Cruz. The final project is a hybrid of HD video and stop-frame animation.

I've worked on numerous stop-frames in the past, but not with an actual person as the subject. So the challenge for this film was getting my subject to seamlessly interact with the objects in her house via stop-motion.

I am extremely happy with the outcome and I had a lot of fun making this film. Please enjoy!

Brilliant video. It reminds me of the animation/live action that the bbc did with Tony Hart in the 70`s and 80`s. I believe that animation was done by Nick parks of Wallace and Grommit fame.
