Oh, the tedium of it all...

I think it is a different way of approaching animation, maybe more interesting than seeing the normally controlled studio created work. If you watch slowly, you can see that in one frame the leg fell off, and in another it seems to fall over. Sorry not for you.. maybe next one.

Obviously I wasn't very clear, but I wasn't referring to the video. I was just imagining doing the animation myself and it offends my sensibilities for wasted time.

It makes me anxious thinking about how much time I'd waste in the day working on this video making each of those tiny, tiny movements. I don't know why the idea of doing this bothers me more than claymation or legonimation or normal drawn animation, but I guess it seems like more work, more trivial, and less worthwhile.

Moving this video to rubywillow's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

The work involved a good number of people, all contributing to moving the figure, it is a challenge, working from dawn to dusk, it is breathing life into something inanimate. I had hoped the fact that it reveals the work involved in it's creation might make it more interesting for a watching audience, who would see it's creation, rather than concealing it through sets etc.
