I have ALWAYS wanted to make one of these videos: have you ever seen the Amazon ad for Kindle? Yeah. So inspiring.
These little clips are not new — there are some AMAZING artists who are creating some absolutely INSANE stop motion clips.
Cool, eh?
How could I NOT want to make one?
All I needed was some victims…erm…willing and wonderful clients who wanted to try something completely different.
Enter: Melanie and Mark.
Lesson: Stop Motion takes A LOT LONGER than you will ever expect it too. Plus, since we hadn’t tried this before — we faced a lot of “unexpected” challenges…nothing a good roll of duct tape couldn’t fix — but still — we were problem solving ON THE SPOT all day long. ::laughing and shaking head::
Here’s our final product. To put it into context — Melanie and Mark watched fireworks on their first date…and our challenge was to incorporate that experience with the theme of their wedding “Van Gogh’s Starry Night”. Yeah, right? FUN!!
Hope you LOVE this. It was AMAZING to put together and thank goodness I have an amazing team working with me!!
I did my best to embed the link here — but being less proficient that I thought and VERY IMPATIENT — you have to click the picture. But then it will be awesome. I promise.
Check out the AMAZING new website for the Spa at the Del Monte — you might recognize that the photographs on it have a particular “Tammy Swalesesque” feel! ::grin::
Seriously, this project was a fun and innovative collaboration between the amazing people at the EJ Del Monte Corporation, Stacy K of Stacy K Floral who’s responsible for the coolest of styling and floral, and of course me and my team at Tammy Swales Photography Inc.
You know what happens when creative minds think together?
Thanks to all who were involved in this project, including the Delmonte crew, Stacy K, Ashley and Gil Durfee, Amy Nachtrieb Bell, Calico, and of course my team of hotties who helped late into many nights pulling this all together.
I was SO honored to be part of this project! Go Check it Out!!
