Description This was my final for my Stop Motion class my junior year at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

Four hungry little mice try their best to reach a tasty bar of chocolate!

Apologies for the wires, I never had time to take them out. I kinda like them anyway.

Awesome job! Perfect mixture of storyline and comedy, and the animation was so smooth! My fav part was when the big mouse fell down the ladder. Again, excellent job!

I love the animation. I think that maybe the sound the mice made are a bit exxagerated, ut everything else is just impressive. I also like the slight black humor and irony in all the mice dying for the chocolate

Absolutely adorable! I enjoy the dark humour. I admit, the string was a bit distracting, but it didn't ruin it for me! It's just such a cute storyline, and this is definitely going into my faves!

This is so amazing. I couldn't even imagine how long this took you to create. And, lol, this just proves that chocoholics (like myself) needs to know when to stop getting chocolates. I will always think of this whenever I have chocolate.

I sure hope you do think of it when you're around chocolate! It actually only took a couple weeks, if I recall. The actual shooting was done over a few nights, maybe 3-4 I think!

rachcedillo In reply to nickbachman [2010-07-04 16:45:55 +0000 UTC]

I will. You are amazing. And I shall check your gallery too when I get back on. Okay, I am adding you on my list as we speak. Wow, that's a lot of time. A couple of my friends did it for their school project and it took them a couple of days, stayed up all night and stuff, but it was amazing. I just admire people who have that much dedication for art.

cookiepanda42000 [2010-06-14 19:03:59 +0000 UTC]

i love this. it's stop motion animation right? did u use that type of clay that doesn't dry (moldible no matter what)

nickbachman In reply to cookiepanda42000 [2010-06-15 07:48:28 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yes we used Van Aken Plastalina modeling clay, and oil based clay that does not dry out. You can get it at most art stores in a lot of colors!
