Extremely obsessed with the stop motion videos my ten year old has been making. This one is called “my home”

@tefferbear this is really cool! Pass my congratulations to the artist!

Teffer

@brunogirin i will! She downplays her takent a lot so external validation helps ;)

@tefferbear ok so here's extended positive feedback:
- the story is simple and clear, there's a beginning, middle and end
- the image focus is great, on the key elements
- she uses the whole width of the screen well, including off screen action
- I like the crawling movement when it comes back with the lid

@brunogirin @tefferbear 💯 to this. And I love the gentleness and care with which the playdoh treats its home, as well as with which the home treats its playdoh.

@tefferbear I really like the bit where the lid gets correctly oriented

@tefferbear I love this! The lil blob has such personality for such a short clip!

Teffer

@MmeLibertine her MO is lil blobs with character! This one is called “dance”

caffeine devil

@tefferbear oh gosh, she's really good! This reminds me so much of the shorts on sesame street when I was wee. I love it!

Keith Wansbrough

@tefferbear @MmeLibertine these are awesome! So much character, such smooth and physically plausible animation, and fun!

Sage Sharp

@tefferbear @MmeLibertine So joyful! And a lil creepy when it eats the lid. Then joyful waves again! It brought a smile to my face. :D

@tefferbear @MmeLibertine what tool does she use to convert pics into a video?

Astrid Poot

@tefferbear well done! love the clay like behaviour of the clay 👏

@tefferbear

This really is fantastic. What a joy it must be watching her be creative like this! I suspect there's some good parenting going on here. Keep that up!

Teffer

@IAmDannyBoling it is SUCH a joy! She’s always been a designer, but seeing it translate into video is SO cool!

Sage Sharp

@tefferbear So cute! Also I see your guinea pig photo bombed a clip lol

Lockpick Extreme

@tefferbear fantastic work! Please let them know the internet approves.

HowToPhil

@tefferbear Reminds me of "bumper" stopmotions and other "low-framerate" works :) Very nice :)

Alien

@tefferbear what an artist, future film director

Renalia

@tefferbear ...your kid has a very, VERY promising future ahead of them in animation. I wanna see more :O I am INVESTED in this story and this is only a few seconds long!

glasspshr

@tefferbear awesome! I did it with 8mm movie film back in the day!

Den of Earth

@tefferbear
Wonderful! The personality she evoked in the blob reminds me of the red and the blue, I think from the 70s:

@tefferbear how did your kid learn how to do this? I have a 9-year-old and I think he'd be really interested in trying it out.

Teffer

@kzeta she uses an app on her tablet, whatever free one i found from searching; apart from that it’s been trial and error! She did have a week long animation camp this summer but I don’t think they did much stop motion.

Kate Zimmerman

@tefferbear Thank you! We might be trying this out in our house soon 😁

@kzeta @tefferbear

Kids these days are surprisingly good at stop motion animation. My 9 year old also made me install an app called Stop Motion. So far we've got one of a train circling around his wooden railway. He wants to do lego stop motion, because he sees a lot of that online.

@tefferbear this legit reminds me of footage I've seen of octopuses using bivalve shells as shelters--they'll carry the two halves along with them, then nestle into one half and pull the other one over the top! this is *fantastic*!!

Space Catitude 🚀

@tefferbear

Nice!

And inspiring. I've been wanting to try a short stop-motion project.

Eljorgeabides

@tefferbear

So cool. I wish I had the patience to do stop motion

Teffer

Many thanks to everyone who has been liking, sharing and commenting!! You’ve given a ten year old artist a lot of encouragement and joy!

Urban

@tefferbear
Please tell the Artist, that it was awesome :)

Ivana

@tefferbear Got to love the play dough that puts itself away. Well done young film maker. 👏🎬😍

Robert J. Berger

@tefferbear This is totally amazing, particularly from a 10 yr old! It takes such patience and focus to do it at all, and then to do it so well!

Tree

@tefferbear
This is brilliant! Please tell your ten year old I loved “my home”.

Menno

@tefferbear
That's a really talented 10yo you have there. Really awesome!

Book

@tefferbear This kicks ass. They're awesome and you win parenting.

@tefferbear let her know about the StuffIt international student film festival!!

@tefferbear
That's really well done and quite charming!

If she ever gets interested in animating objects (rather than play dough) she may get some inspiration from (everyone's favourite late 20th century Czech surrealist stop-motion animator) Jan Svankmajer.

This short of the Lewis Carrol poem "Jabberwocky" is a good example, and relatively age appropriate.

He also did an interesting full-length adaptation of another Lewis Carrol story "Alice", starring Kristýna Kohoutová - an actor with a Kevin Bacon number of infinity.

@tefferbear There's a flashing neon sign in my head that says Laika Studios.

When she's older, finances permitting, she may want to consider the Emily Carr University of Art + Design here in Vancouver, or Sheridan College in Brampton, ON. I can guarantee they'd let her in if these were in her portfolio.

Or, if it turns out there's something else she's interested in studying, or doesn't want to study at all, stop-motion can be something she does just for enjoyment. ☺️

@tefferbear this is lovely, please tell them I really enjoyed this! 😍
