DON'T MESS WITH MANKIND'S SKATEBOARD

An attempt at stop motion using toys. Shot with a cheap digital camera and edited in Final Cut Pro.

My first try at claymation, animation, shooting film, character design and set building. This was shot on 16mm film, digitized, then edited in Final Cut Pro.

HULA HULA
