Stop-Motion Part Dos

I had no idea it could feel this good to finish a project! Okay... I'm lying. I felt this good after finishing my 27 page paper on baseball and WWII last semester. But I feel amazing now! I finished taking the photos on Tuesday and then figured out my Windows Movie Maker program and put all of the photos together. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to time each frame faster that half of a second. Therefore, the first part of the video is REALLY boring. However, I did not spend that much time taking photos of candles to not use them. I did cut some photos from the beginning so that the end would line up with the music. I'm not editing music too. Besides, it's springtime and I like the Beach Boys. Summer here I come! Anyway, this was definitely a rewarding project. I learned so much! I don't know if I will attempt another stop-motion video ever again. I'm a big fan of the "Deadline" stop-motion video and I passed the link around the office that I work at. Maybe I'll attempt another stop-motion video sometime when I don't have a month left of school to finish it (I know I shouldn't have procrastinated). Now if I could just get my partner for the collaborative project to work with me! I'm pretty sure that's why it's called a collaborative project (that statement was dripping with sarcasm- there is a great need for a sarcasm font). Hope you enjoy the video! By the way, does anyone need 100 tealight candles???
