Stop-Motion Character Animation

In this assignment you will create a simple stop-motion animation of a moving character. For your character, use a doll or stuffed animal that's easily poseable; a clay model would also work well.

I don't have any knickknacks or dolls because I'm grown, so thanks to my little brother I had some of his favorite characters be a part of a Harlem shake dance party which quickly turned into a fight. For the most part I just put wedges to prop the bigger characters and I moved the limbs of the rest to fit a Harlem shake/fight party. The whole thing was 127 frames. You can see some fishing string I used for a few jumps. I think clay or other characters would have been much easier to manipulate, but like I said I don't keep kids things and all I have is a little brother to provide me with toys. Next time I'm buying some play-doe.

And to address the believability, please consider the characters jumping (halo dudes) and the lazy ones just rocking (pandas!), and we all know pirates breakdance.
