Loved it, but I doubt anyone on here made it. How can it be copyrighted 1999 when FU wasn't born until 2005?

I thought it was pretty good... How did you get the fish eye to fall? Was that just a lucky accident?

It is all seperate frames. If you slow it down, you will be able to see what we did.

How many frames per second? How long did it take for you to shoot this? Who designed all the little guys... Cute tiny linoleum...

It ranged between 2500fps and 1000fps. It varied depending on the scene. It took us about 6 hours to build the characters, 2 hours to build the set the way we wanted, filming took about 6 hours, 7 hours for sound and video editing.

Did you do that much editing? What camera did you use?

There were a couple parts that we kept editing because we weren't becoming satisfied with the way that it was coming out. We also ended up having to go back and re-film and lessen the fps because it was too dark. You see, as you increase the fps, the image becomes darker. We used a Phantom Miro M320S that we borrowed from our school for this project.

Really? Why? That doesn't make sense... You would think shutter speed would affect the brightness...

Isn't that a high speed camera? It works for stop motion too?

I'd love to see what kind of bullshit you could come up with to explain your two major flubs...

I think I'll just spare you the embarrassment...

The time that light is exposed to the imaging sensor causes it to be underexposed and therefore is too dark.

Also, it was filmed using a slow motion camera that I borrowed from Drexel University.

Yeah, that makes sense when you are actually shooting thousands of frames in one second... Which you wouldn't be doing while making a stop motion animation...

Neat... I like those kinds
