Simon's First Stop-Motion Video

Awesome, what a clever boy, kids are so more advanced these days than we were at that age.

Awesome!!!

..... and heads were rolling....

It is wonderful to see Simon's creativity.

Awesome! Way to go Simon! Your video brought back memories of Willis O' Brien, Eliot Noyes Jr. and the stop motion movies I recall watching as a child, such as the original black and white Godzilla and King Kong movies. Every Sunday we would watch Gumby and Pokey. David and Goliath, Pinocchio, they were made this way too. I would love to see, and hope to see, more of your stop motion videos, Simon. Thanks for sharing.

That is so awesome! Reminds me of my boy, who's now almost 27! He used to make those videos, also of Star Wars, so many years ago!

Simon needs to come hang out with my son, Alex. Awesome job !

Those are so fun to watch. My nephews make those videos alot, as well as movie trailers!

Awesome, Simon! Can't wait to share with my sons:)

Also hope to come back here and hear of similar software for us PC-users. My sons film a lot of Lego-movies, in hopes of my turning it into stop-action or editing it for them using Movie Maker. But it just takes too much time...would love to hear of a kid-friendly software so THEY could edit!

One more thing---LOVED your newsletter today, Ali, and it made me think of Karen Maezen Miller's recent post about routine and ritual. She was talking about parenting but I found it to be just what I need to hear in terms of my own work/productivity:

Wow, that was great!! So happy to see that he has found this art form!! I see a future movie producer in the making. Thanks for sharing it!

OMG! That was sooooo cool! Nice job Simon!! I wanna do that! And I think my 15-year-old son would have fun with it too! Will need Simon's tutorial though...

Outstanding job! Go Simon! I look forward to seeing more.
