The Spiky Gets a Scare (stop motion animation)

Our favorite show here is Shaun the Sheep. Watching it Ben became aware of stop motion animation and wanted to try his hand at it... so here is his first attempt:
[for some reason the video stopped working so I am testing this as a solution:]

The movie has voice/sound so you may want to turn on your speakers.

This was all Ben-driven. He has been obsessed and harassing me for days so I promised we would try on our next project day.

It took me a while to figure out how to put it together but thanks to a nice tutorial it was actually pretty quick once the photos were all taken.

I am so impressed! That is so cool! Now Ben has a career option besides having a blast.

Hey, did you set up the camera on a tripod? Nice how steady it is!

We actually didn't have a tripod with us... so I set the camera up on some books on a nightstand and we used the 2s timer feature with each shot so the camera was still by the time the shot was taken.

Pretty nice!
And where did you get the hedgehog? And who made the sounds?

It is actually a toy echidna that Ben bought with his Christmas money.
And Ben provided the sound effects.
