I’m going to high5 Philip for blogging about our tour and pretty much everything these past few days weeks. Virtual high5. He doesn’t deserve a real life high5 for that. Maybe if he saved a bunch of baby seals from poachers. Maybe.
I’m gonna diverge from our usual subject of “what we’ve been up to” to some fan art. I love animation. Hand-drawn, 3D, stop-motion, you name it. Here’s an awesome video from our friend, Casey, who we met at Cameron House in SF. Domo and Toon Spencer! Looks like it’s going to be a series so I can’t wait for the next one!
Also…here’s something I made for class…a lot of years ago at UCSD. Not sure if this is where Casey got the idea to use Domo-Kun, but it’s cool that we both did.
I wouldn’t mind doing another stop-motion animation project except the fact that it takes foreverz to make. Yea that’s a sorta bummer. We’ll see…

i saw that video. I thought it was so cute. And your desktop fun animation is one of my favorite videos to watch online. I was working on one myself. But someone at home touched/moved the camera and it messed me up. I should try to do it again.

whoaa, looks like a lot of time spent for sure. do you remember how long it took you to make “desktop fun”? including all the filming and editing

for any stop motion fans, this is definitely worth checking out

haha awesome! – there’s something about Domo-Kun that always puts a smile on my face – maybe it’s the sharp pointy teeth >:D
I love watching stop motion films – really inspiring. I can’t even begin to imagine how much time it must take. A virtual high5 to you!

Haha dude Wes, this is freaking awesome. Thank you so much , I’m actually pretty speechless that you really did post this. and you are completely right! The Desktop Fun & Gokuri Difference videos actually gave me the inspiration with my friend. I remember watching it two years ago wondering… how the heck did he do that. Then I found out how much work it took and I dreaded it. hahaha. thanks again Wes!

Wow, it really does require a lot of patience.
I just googled “how to make a stop-motion short,”
maybe one day I’ll try it…
btw, both were reallly good!

haha i like it. it’s pretty cute =)

Heh. That was pretty cool. I tried making stop motion once, spent four hours filming, thinking I’d get at least two minutes of footage… only a minute thirty seconds. Then spent 8 hours editing. All by myself. Goooood (and tiring) times.
Virtual high fives all round!
