The Sleepwalker: stop motion animation

This is Ben's third stop-motion animation movie. He shot this one without any help from me at all -- Ben borrowed my camera and spent several hours filming The Sleepwalker shot by shot. The 52 second movie took 172 shots to film! I couldn't believe how long the movie was when I started downloading the pictures.

I helped him sort through the music to find a properly evocative piece... and here is the result:

My favorite bit is when the little green cubes follow him after he gets off the sled...

Bravo Ben!!!! He did a fantastic job and sure has a lot of patience.
Music is perfect.

Ben wanted something dreamy so we went through my iTunes library until we came to that... it's from Carnival of the Animals and it is The Aquarium...

I did not notice the green cubes until I read your comments.

Waiting for a new posting with what you've been doing with your parents. Tell them that it's been like spring the last few days and just gorgeous.
