tmpIII time video

This video is about my childhood and my guinea pig. Every Saturday morning I would put her on the floor and watch her run around happily. Sometimes while she was on the floor my dog would eat her poop (in this case, coffee beans.) What I'm trying to do is revisit my childhood by using stuffed animals that I had when I was little. The floor that the guinea pig runs on is my baby blanket.

In the future I would like to add audio of me explaining what is going on in an innocent voice. It's hard to explain the audio that I have in mind because it will involve layering certain sounds at certain moments.
my only question is: can you tell that is a guinea pig toy and a dog toy? I think with audio you'll understand a little more. Also, I tried using a real guinea pig but the moment she got on the floor she opened the door and did the dinosaur. (she ran for it)

  1. Diana,
    To me it is obvious that they are toys. The story behind this idea is interesting and I think the pictures you have work when they are looped. I wonder about the placement of the excess items or scenery of stuffed animals in your frame. I think it makes sense but it's just something to consider. I am glad to see that you use the qualities of stop motion to your advantage. Excited to see your future progress.

  2. The looping is great, I can't tell where it starts or stops

  3. This is very humorous and I love how you made the guinea pig poop and then the dog eats it. My dog would eat my guinea pig's poop ALL the time so I can really relate to this. I like this very much and it is very creative. The way the girl sits down is very smooth and beautiful too.
