Maggie Makes A Movie

September 13, 2012

Yep, I have another movie maker in the family. For those who don’t know, my older boys (Matt, Jeff, and Chris) went through a phase of making movies a few years ago. Some (i.e. Fat Lumps) will go down in family history forever. So, this runs in the family.

Well, Maggie got a little Hello Kitty camcorder for Christmas last year and she has made lots of little movies, but this time she decided to make a stop motion animation! I had bought her this book and it has helped her be even more creative with her work.

Her first movie is what I call Whimzy Movie because she made it with her and her sisters’ Whimzy animals. I have to say, I’m really impressed by how well she did. We have two more videos that we are currently pulling together and I will upload those as soon as we have them done. In the meantime, here is Whimzy Movie for your viewing pleasure.

That group shot must've been a bitch.
What blows my mind is that she planned out a couple of camera moves. The pull back early on particularly. She'll need a Dykstraflex before too long. Any idea on how she did the crane shot?

She has an incredible amount of patience apparently! I don't think I could have done it. Her "crane" shot was this: she stood up and looked down :-). I agree though - that group shot is impressive. BTW - she's working on another movie.

Thanks - I've passed on your compliment :-). She is really enjoying making movies whether they are stop motion or not. She has made many, many "Barbie and Ken Forever" shows :-).
