Encounter of the Melon Kind

My second stop motion film! I went a little overboard this time with the goal of trying different angles and telling a full story. The film is nearly a minute long with 346 shots. I went through a number of trial and errors to get to the final version. There are definitely much room for improvement but this will do for now.

This is the last time that I will use the action figure as it does not provide enough flexibility for the gestures I want to do. The knees and elbows do not bend and the pelvis does not rotate. I was unable to get the pushing and kicking gestures correctly because of these limitations. I came to find out that the character is Skrall from the LEGO Bionicle product line. If you find yourself feeling sorry for him in my story, read about his evilness here.

I got a little bit sloppy near the end; just couldn't bring myself to deal with a particular problem. See if you can catch it! Enjoy!
