An Unlikely Hero

This is my entry for the Nicktoons "Built by me" contest. Lots of parts are rushed and the audio is quite literally, garbage.
Overall I'm not happy with how it ended up, but I figured I may as well send something in.

what are you using for editing? and animation? ive always wanted to do something like this

[SpiderSock]

@gir1invasion I currently use Dragon Stop Motion for frame capture, Premiere Pro for editing, After Effects for effects, Soundbooth for audio. And whatever else might be needed.

[SpiderSock]

@bricknut555 A technique called masking.

[HappyJDF]

@SpiderSock How do you do the technique!

[SpiderSock]

@HappyJDF Masking? I'm planning to do a series of tutorials in 2012, I'll do one for Masking.

@alexzand98 Well let's see... when he jumps in the truck he is dressed as an ordinary garbageman - when he jumps out he is dressed more or less as a superhero. What do YOU think he is doing?

When the Trashman jumped in the back of the garbage truck, I must confess I was a little worried. Not too many people survive that sort of thing.

@brickarmsbattles I hope you'll be successful with that job!

[PopcornMawn]

@brickarmsbattles I'm guessing you're the award fella guy now? Did your 2nd grade teacher gave you the troll award too? Oh good job Johnny you're doing great! No wonder they awarded you the troll award. You sure are doing quite well!

[brickarmsbattles]

@PopcornMawn And YOU won the "stick-up-for-me-bitch of the year" award!

[PopcornMawn]

@brickarmsbattles You sure are pretty rude. You don't have to be so mean about it. Like honestly, that was unnecessary.
