DIY Stop-motion animation I did for fun last week using 2 Modibot figures, green masking tape, and 2 vegetable cutting boards.

(Hi-res version here)

I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time now.  Aside from filming toy action figures, this was the first time trying to do actual stop-motion animation.  It was super hard animating straight ahead without being able to go back to redo poses, but the challenge very addicting!

Even though the Modibot figure I animated isn’t a pro kinetic stop-motion armature, I was surprised how well the plastic figure could hold a pose.   

The stock Modibot was only $10 on Amazon!  At that price I definitely recommend it as a super inexpensive way to try out stop-motion. I did however buy some additional 3D printed parts from Shapeways to modify it to have clavicles and an extra spine joint for better posing.

Below is the first test I did earlier last week.  I used the masking tape as a sticky surface for the feet to tie-down to, and a green Modibot for the rig arm.

I animated the run next.  Here’s the green screen version:

I’ll go into more detail on the figure setup, animation, and compositing process in a future post if anyone is interested. :)

But what is enough? Is it measured in marks on your skin, pounds gone, days lost? You might think you need to do more, to feel more, to hurt more, in order to be worthy of a helping hand. If it feels like your world is collapsing, if you feel numb, if your life is devoid of color, you are worthy of help. You are worthy of love. It’s enough. And you are enough. And whatever pain you are feeling is enough. You don’t need to hit your 10 on the chart to ask for help. Whether your pain is a 2 or a 12, you deserve to heal.
