The Barton Hills Choir - 'The Silly Adventures of Mr. Turtle Episode 1'

The story....
Mr. Turtle has some calm friends and some wild friends.
Calm friend #1 (Mr. Duster) comes over to play. They have a great time.
Wild friend #1 (Mr. Blue Tape) comes over and brings them outside to play. Mr. Blue Tape plays TOO ROUGH. He really messes them up!
Calm friend #2 (Mr. Vacuum Cleaner) comes over to play. They have a great time.
Wild friend #2 (Mr. Red Tape) comes over and brings them outside to play. Mr. Red Tape plays TOO ROUGH. He really messes them up!
Calm friends #3 (Cotton Ball Pals) come over to play. They have a great time.
Wild friend #3 (Mr. Green Tape) comes over and brings them outside to play. Mr. Green Tape plays TOO ROUGH. He really messes them up!
Calm friends #4 (Bead Heads) come over to play. They have a great time.
Wild friend #4 (Mr. Yellow Tape), the wildest of them all, comes over and brings them outside to play. Mr. Yellow Tape really plays TOO ROUGH. He changes the color of the Bead Heads and buries Mr. Turtle so only his little tushy sticks out. The only way he can communicate with the outside world is by whispering to the Bead Heads.
"Ouch!!!!!"
"Help!!!!!!!!"
Well, there's only one dude that can tame the Wild Tapes. Timmy Mr. Frizzy Head! He tames them so well that he can now ride them like horses. Timmy Mr. Frizzy Head trots back and saves Mr. Turtle.
What about everyone else???
Oh well, "Bye".
Mr. Duster, Mr. Vacuum, the Cotton Ball Pals, and the Bead Heads begin to very slowly and sadly walk away.
Don't worry, Mr. Turtle comes back and takes his calm friends outside to play.
This is a stop motion video by Barton Hills Elementary School music teacher/choir director Gavin Tabone set to the Peter Pan classic 'Never Smile at a Crocodile'. Over 1,800 pictures were taken to create this video. The song was recorded by 6th grade choir members. Tabone recorded all the instruments on keyboards except for the guitar which was recorded by Aaron (Hair Dr.) Dembe. The audio was mastered by Jake (Mr. Bubbles) Perlman. More info. on the choir can found at bartonhillschoir.org.

It's very cool when you see the sun crossing the floor between 0:40 and 1:13. And then poof, it's gone. Gives you an idea of how much time each frame took.

Some claymation next !

@garimaheath I should have put black butcher paper over all the windows!

@bartonhillschoir No, no, no ! It's much better like this !!

Btw, Pia thinks the turtle, brush and vacuum are friends; the tapes are mean, and the troll saves them ... :-)
