Little Hoot is born!
My first claymation film. I owned no clay, but had an idea, so I rummaged around the basement and found a couple small containers of old play-doh. Most of it was very dried out and it took me several hours to make it usable.
This was first shot on top of a box, but it was not level and poor Little Hoot's head kept falling off and rolling away. So, I took my materials to an unused desk, which is where I do all my work now. I do not have a tripod, but I simply rest my camera on my desk and take shots from there. Luckily, the size of the characters I work with allows for this to film fairly well.
To edit, I use the Windows Live Movie Maker that is on my laptop. It's proven relatively easy to use, but I find that the options for transitions and credits aren't that great.
