Me wiping out on staircase several times.


This is my odd but funny stop motion animation about having conviction, always moving forward every time you fail, fumble and fall. Take a moment to rest then pick yourself the @!#?@! up!

It's not easy to chase your fears and embrace vulnerability. When I make these stop motion videos I get the craziest looks. Sometimes I have to take multiple shots of each move. Imaging seeing for example some random dude in public jumping in the air, contorting their body 3-5 times for every single animated frame. After one move I move forward a little bit for the next captured frame. These usually take me 1-3 hours, shooting somewhere between 4000 - 6000 frames, after which I'm physically exhausted. It takes a lot of humiliation and vulnerability.

Some of these pixilations work, some don't. I build upon these little failures. Everyone of these animations there are many little mistakes but I like that. They become happy accidents and blossom into future ideas and new techniques reveal themselves to me.

I hope you get inspired to tackle something you have been putting off. When you fall, rest a moment, get back up and dust yourself off.

Shape it up, Get straight, Go forward, Move ahead, Try to detect it, It's not too late, To whip it, Whip it good. - DEVO

I hope you enjoyed my weirdo animation. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Upvote and Resteem if you like what I'm doing. Thank you for your eyeballs. Duane :)
