This requires an explanation. As a child I used to make films. Lots of films. From the age of 6 onwards, I'd steal my dad's video camera and get the neighbourhood kids together and order them about and, for some reason, they went along with this. I must have made about 30 little films around this time with my friends and my friends' friends. When I was 11 or 12 they stopped listening to me and went away and played football or something. So I figured out stop motion animation and did that in my room by myself until I was 14 and realised it was easier to channel any creativity through playing guitar and shouting.
UNTIL NOW...
about a month ago, I randomly bought a bunch of plastercine and my housemate Steve and I set about making an epic (sort of) stop motion film about aliens. This is not that film. Of course I first had to re-cut my teeth on the deal, so we threw something else together. It's not great, and certainly rougher than it should be in places (the beginning, the dolly round the can), but people who have seen it seem to quite like it, so I figured I'd share it. Hooray!
