Summer of stop motion

I haven't been blogging lately in 'Nonsense!', simply because I've been busy with other projects and blogs. If I find something new creative and interesting, I'll act like an addict. I'm totally in to it, and nothing else matters. Luckily my hubby is same kind, so we understand each other well.

Most of the time my addiction is advertising, but after a quite hard year, I needed something comfortable to balance that.
So I got obsessed about well-being, low-carb cooking and natural beauty care, here's my food blog. (Only finnish, I'm sorry)

That's why I was probably too relaxed when my 4 week summer vacation started. After enjoying 3 days freedom and holidays with friends, I was ready to create something. "Let's make a our own movie!". We both love movies. I'm into screenwriting, stop motion and character & set designing. Lasse is a brilliant movie composer, but also into shooting, lightning, screenwriting and editing. We both are interested about directing, and in this little short film, I think we are the perfect package together. Some couple's test their relationship by building a house, we are going to make a film. Insane, but that's us.

Right now I'm learning how to make best puppets for the animation. There's a great handbook in www.stopmotionanimation.com we have also The Aardman Book and watched some extras from Tim Burton films. I really love Burton style, but I hope that I could find my own style. In this point, I guess my source of inspiration is showing through.


The story is based on my old comics, and I've written the first version of the script. The hard part with the story is the narrator, so I'll write one version before and other after we have shoot the film.
