Attack of the Snowman


I can now add animator and romantic to my resume.
Let me explain.
 Katie and Eva went to Utah this week and I could either spend my alone time sitting on the couch watching TV, or I could do something productive. I compromised and moved the TV into the kitchen where our chalkboard sits and started making this stop motion animation. If you have never made one of these before, this was my first time, you have no idea how time consuming the process can be. I watched a full season of Parks and Rec., listened to several Radiolab podcasts and a lot of music while making this video. What I am trying to say is, I don’t know how Walt Disney didn’t give up after the first fifteen minutes. But then again, that’s probably why Disney is poised to seize control of the world and institute its own draconian rule, and I am a bum with a kitchen covered in chalk dust. Anyways, at least I have this epically romantic short film to show for my week alone. I hope you brought a change of clothes, because your eyes are about to piss tears.

P.S. Watch the video in full screen HD, it is easier to see what is going on. Thanks
