And about the vehicles, I love them !

It was all made on a dry erase board and i pretty much made the video backwards because it is easier to erase as you go then to draw.

and it was a lot of work! when i started i somehow kidded myself into thinking it would be a minor project... instead i've barely seen the light of day all week.

duplo, it was worth the effort. BRILLIANT.
i love how the white balance goes all over the place too.

Yeah! especially for the foreigners ;-)

what?

P.S this is the 1000th video that I have liked!!!!

oh yeah! you know, when i first decided to do this video i was going to do it pretty much the same way you did but... well this is what developed. you were definately my inspiration.

Holy Crap, Buck! Is that how it works???
Then you MUST do a video where you are ravaged by many ample-bosomed Oktoberfest Beer Wenches.

This way, I can comment, "This is so great. It makes me want to be the meat in a St. Pauli Girl Sandwich, but alas and alack, I have no stein."

Then, three months later...BAM! Tits n Beer for Fuzzy.

Yes.

Lol!

duplo - Glad you didn't get hurt and also that I inspired you. I like your way of animating a lot.

FuzzyDave - I've been waiting ages for an excuse to make a video like that!

hahahahaha, fuzzydave! :D

I second this favorite part. Brilliant vim!

Yes, me too. When I saw that, I thought, what a clever way to show she was basically OK, even though she was taken away in an ambulance. You have such a great way of translating ideas into something visually concrete.

haha. my mom WAS really worried about that. she called me the next day to make sure i still felt all right.

im fine!

That was my favorite part, as well as the police and firemen.

everything was done backwards.

yeah, i wanted to show some proof so you guys would know i wasn't a faker.

Wow.

And yeah, nice thumbnail. HA!

glad you liked it!

I've never heard the original. i guess i probably should! i love love love the song.

I agree -- great video, great song! Another version of "Alone Again (Or)" you should definitely hear is the one by the Damned. Anyway, glad that you're okay.

Music-wise I agree with both cans and Tallulah, but the version by Love kicks butt (it was the first after all).

Point well taken, Brooklyn Kitchen. Arthur Lee is invariably cooler than Dave Vanian. I've always liked Captain Sensible-era Damned, anyway.

funny, I thought the fireman was very hot, especially next to the cop! (of course, I think firemen are hot in general)

Glad you liked it!

As far as process, gear and software... i'm pretty low tech. this is made of still shots i took with my digital camera of a white board (or dry erase board). About 2500 of them. I edited them together in iMovie.

For process... well, i'm always learning a i go. In the case of this movie, I recorded the voice over first and then created the movie backwards. i only really did that because i found it so much easier to write out a sentance and then erase it word by word then visa versa. it made it a bit confusing from time to time but it worked out. the whole thing took me about 40 hours. haha... i need to get paid for this stuff...

"the whole thing took me about 40 hours. haha... i need to get paid for this stuff..."

No kidding!

Thank you for all that info, duplo. The backwards thing must have been a real exercise in productive dylexia. My head hurts thinking about it. Sure worth the effort though :)

Nope. Portland, Oregon.

What's the website?

I think it's suitably ambiguous.

nice! i can't wait so see what you do!
