stopmotion - twiddles

At the Bomb(2.15-2.18) for the PMC, I embarked on my first attempt at a ball-socket armature (made from brass for ease of drilling)... I think it came out alright... I'll admit that the it's gimpy with the spacing (guess I should have measured out the holes instead of eye-balling 'em) and that the brass bars didn't hold their shape (a tad wobbly when tightened, but they did tighten enough to hold the ball in place); however, I think that overall it was a wonderful failure and well-worth the time invested in school/work procrastination.

Yeah, me too! I can't wait to see it in the festival. I tried doing stop motion with clay ages ago but I've found I only have enough patience for traditional.
