I’ve been experimenting a bit with stop motion animation—and I use that term quite loosely—with some of my LEGO figurines. On a whim, I filmed a little Ewok minifigure proclaiming it’s “Ewok Summer,” and from there I experimented with a couple of other YouTube shorts.
I edited all of these “in-camera,” meaning that I just clicked “pause” on my iPhone’s camera mid-recording and hit “record” again. The last of the three was the most involved, in which I tried to click “pause” and “record” in a rhythm. You can tell when I lingered on a shot a bit longer than intended, but for a hyper-amateurish effort, I like how the third one materialized.
Finally, the music in the second and third videos is a track called “Hey Sailor”; it’s a royalty-free YouTube track. I haven’t figured out yet how to put my music into these videos, but eventually I will and I’ll do so.
Now, on with the Ewok Summer Trilogy!
