I have been doing some "youtubing" recently to find some interesting videos to capture the attention of hundreds of teens attending a youth conference. I had originally planned on compiling a bunch of silly videos, set it to music, and be done with it. Until i found this guy. Am I late? looks like it. This video won Time Magazines #2 viral video of the YEAR. His Youtube channel has 68,000+ subscribers. He has made commercials, which I recognized, for big name companies. The point really isn't when I found PES. Its that I discovered him at all.
I have always wanted to delve into the world of stop motion animation. I have seen inordinate amounts of stop motion shorts, music videos, and commercials. But Western Spaghetti got me. And it got me good.
I decided to use the 20 min of time I have with these youth (5 four minute segments) and tell a story (ish) using stop motion animation. I feel like i keep saying this, but this will be my first real video-brainchild. Something I have little to no boundaries with. Something that will allow me to unleash my creative juices on the WORLD.
yikes.
to say I'm nervous is an understatement.
to say I'm qualified is an overstatement.
to say I'm ready, willing, able, excited, and INSPIRED... well that's just my statement.
