For this short stop-motion clip, I went about it the same way I did the previous one; using stuffed animals on the backdrop of my desk, and placing various small objects underneath them to help them stay in position. Then I took a number of pictures of the still poses. Remembering how much editing I had to do last time, I minimized the amount of times my hand would be in any shot as much as possible. And finally, I combined all of them in Quicktime, adjusting for the timing I wanted.
I had figured out the scene before hand, and actually had a lot more I had wanted to do; I'd made some props I intended to use in addition to what's seen here and was planning to continue the 'story' from the previous stop motion, using the same characters and later introduce a third. However, partway through the shooting, a medical issue I have resurfaced, and I had to stop and rest so I wouldn't lose consciousness. After that, it was difficult to continue the duration I'd need to do all I'd planned out, so instead, I shot just a few more to finish the first scene, and used what I had gotten before I needed to stop. At the very least, left like this, it makes for an amusing loop.
