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.

Thanks a lot! I think it took me probably a week's worth of very late nights, spread out over 2 or 3 weeks. Stop motion doesn't take too long because all you have to do is move the character a little and you've got a whole frame done. It's much faster than drawing, inking, and coloring every frame like traditional 2d stuff.

Not bad! I'm not sure why people said this was cute, it was more gruesome than cute. Have you tried using invisible thread instead of wire? It is sturdy, and of course less visible than wire; might make your filming easier. Keep up the good work, and congrats on the DD.

the video was well made... i liked the piano music, and i also liked the animation of it, bravo. the one thing that i would change is the sound effects. next time try making them a little softer or just remove them. other than that that was a good job.
oh and i like the old film style you have going

I'm in love with this! I am a chocoholic and a little sad that they never got to actually eat any of it. Very well done!

Let us all take a moment of silence to recongize the bold, clay mice that sacrificed their lives to get a Hershey's chocolate bar to fall from the top of a box.
*Pause* (Something about that just didn't sound right.)
Okay, moment of silence over. This film was exceptionally done for a stop motion.
The only thing I would suggest is to go back and edit out the strings. It's a simple thing that makes a big difference in the film quality. I should know. I used to be in a journalist/film making class. XP
You're on your way, my friend!

Haha! The ragtime in the background just MADE it. And I actually said "Oh no!" out loud when the fatty mouse failed.

They were so cute! And they say curiosity killed the cat but it was a sweet tooth that killed the mice! XD

This just made me smile all the way :3 Soooo cute and yet sad. Stop motion is very hard to deal with (according to my lack of talent and experience) but you made it looks so perfect
*goes faving*
