Once upon a time, I was very inspired by the films of Tim Burton, especially his stop-motion movies. I loved the medium and his style.
Films like Vincent, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride were among my favourites back then. I still enjoy them, but my tastes have moved on.
Vincent (1982)
Watch this short film. It's awesome.
At 14, I already knew I wanted to be a filmmaker, but at this time my main interest was in stop-motion animation. So that's what I played around with.
Here's my very first, very choppy, stop motion test... complete with the crappy animated logo for my first film "company":
After that, I did a few tests with clay.
Here's the best of them:
My foray into stop-motion ended with a short film called The Epic Adventures of These Specific Lego Characters. Save for an obnoxiously long introduction, I still think this is a decent little film with some fairly good animation. I wish I still had the original file so that I could upload a higher-quality version, but alas, that hard drive was fried before I understood the importance of backing up my data.
Let that be a lesson to the rest of you!

It was fun while it lasted, but I like what I'm doing now a lot better. Let me know what you think in the comments, and remember to upvote and follow me!

P.S. I know Tim Burton didn't direct The Nightmare Before Christmas, but it's still very much a Tim Burton film. Don't hassle me!
