A claymation experiment
comprised of close to 400
separate frames, each shot
with a standard digital camera
and combined in Flash.At the
request of many, here are a
few more details:The song is
called 'Keeping Up With the
Kids' and can be found on the
Mindless Self Indulgence album
'Frankenstein Girls Will Seem
Strangely Sexy'.The project
took about a week to shoot. I
used a common plasticine clay
found in most arts and crafts
stores called Sculpey.Most of
the still frames were left
completely untouched aside
from a little color
adjustment, but I created the
vanishing effect using
Photoshop by layering
different shots taken at the
same camera position.And yes,
that's me in the vid. I had to
use the timer setting on the
cam and then run around the
table and sit in the chair for
each shot. (Having someone to
help me take the pics probably
would have helped a bit.)An
alternate version of the vid
with music I created myself
can be seen at my website,
along with all my other work:
www.mileskalbach.comIf you dig
it, check out my Stay Alive
music video for the band Trapt
which is also posted on my
YouTube page and on my site.
It is in the same type of
style but with much more of a
running narrative to it.Thanks
for checking out my work!
