Chapman Video Essay (Stop Motion Scrabble) [Accepted]

This is my Stop Motion video i'm submitting to Chapman University. I'm applying as a transfer student for Fall 2010 to hopefully get into their Film School's "Film Production" Program. This video took me two days of shooting on my Canon Rebel XS (1200+ photos) and a ton of editing with Final Cut Pro 7, After Effects CS4, and Photoshop CS4. The pictures are played at 10 frames/second.

The main song is 'Loud Pipes' by Ratatat
The song on the iPhone is 1901 by Phoenix
The girl singing in the video is Kina Grannis, a very talented singer from Southern California. Check her out!!

I'd like to personally thank repter75 for ideas that made it into the video and pressing the shutter on the camera 100+ times.

Wish me luck!

**UPDATE**
I got accepted into Chapman's Dodge College Film School as a Film Production major WITH a scholarship! Super excited :D

Nice! Why didn't you use Kina's stuff for the music portion, though?

[lilruggedboy]

@quickattack I didn't want to use her music for the whole entire thing, but I wanted to make sure that I included it. You can hear Message From Your Heart when her pic/video comes up. Also, the song I used on the iPhone was easier to animate with the Scrabble tiles.

That's a legit video dude! Come by whenever u get the chance =) can always use a guy that can scream while being dragged away by a "monster" (lol@stats)

[lilruggedboy]

It's so weird to actually see you pop up in my subscription box lol

I thought the music would have started earlier tho

The box jumped at 0:44

Your binder looks so much thinner in the video @.@

[lilruggedboy]

The music did start earlier at first, but I wanted to be different and have it wait a sec.

Yea, the box jumped T^T. I could try to edit it, but I don't know if it would come out well...

Binder: Yea...oh well....:-/
