That's actually pretty good, I was expecting a more dilettantish movie with toys moving around on a table (the kind of stop motion I made as a kid). The only criticism I'll voice is that when the mother leans down to kiss her son the legs look really weird and unnatural, like she'd break them. I don't know if there's a more natural pose you could do with the clay. I'm just trying to be helpful, I was pretty impressed. The music reminded me of an Art Clokey cartoon (like Gumby basically), very nice touch.
Are you a film student or is this just a hobby? Your film is a lot more professional than I was expecting, its great to see someone still appreciates the art of claymation and stop motion!

That was pretty cool, Briansrun10! Stop motion animation requires a lot of dedication and patience, does it not? How long did that 1 minute piece actually take to make? I admire your creativity.
I'm not a film student nor do I make these movies but there's a reason you see stuff dominated by computer graphics now. Its very meticulous and a lost art that not everyone appreciates anymore.

Thanks for the nice comment. I'd give anything to see my own work from an outside perspective. I just have no sense of if it's good or not. Honestly I feel most of the time like a talentless hack.
Did you make all of the movie yourself? What kind of education do you have? I've seen film students make worse stuff, either way, I am impressed by it, especially if you did it all yourself. I totally believe it took you 4 months.
