Description
A DD?
I'm so happy! 
Thank you all!!Happy 10th Birthday DeviantART!!!!
This is dedicated to all of the new friends I've made on deviantART
Hope you like it! I am so honored to have been invited to deviantART Film! Thanks so much! My submission for #fella 's "What Is DeviantART?" Contest [link]
593 frames and over 360 handmade paper stars were used to make this animation! 
This took about 3 days to do. Sometimes it took up to 15-20 minutes to set one frame, such as the ocean scene.
The background is brown present-wrapping paper taped to 4 hardcover books, laid on the floor of my room. I had to lock out my cat, sister, brother, dad, and basically everyone from my room for three days 
There is also a huge window in my room, so I had no control over lighting unfortunately.I used a Canon Rebel XS mounted on a tripod, and the photos were taken by hand, no remote. The music was a recording of me playing an original piece just for this project on piano, taken with a Flip camcorder on tripod.

Great job, omigod. Although it's not the smoothest animation I've ever seen, it doesn't need to be. The music flows greatly with this, and I love the simplicity of it. The fire works look good, and the fact that it was made out of little star beads is just adorable

Windows movie maker will work, it's free too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh goodie XD
where can i download it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just google search windows movie maker, it kinda depends on if you have XP, Vista, or 7. I would suggest older versions, like 2.0-3.0 they're better for stop motion [link]
If that doesn't work let me know.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aww. it works on vista
lol i don't know what kind of windows i have ..i think it's xp? XD
yaay.

although i really dont know how it got there. XD
i clicked the start button then there it was. XD lol i didn't know we have it already
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yea
oh i have a question
how do i set the time of the pics?
if i move them by mouse the minimum is 1 sec but i want to make it less but i dunno how XD
ps. so sorry i ask too much
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No it's fine! I explained earlier, but I have a different movie editor so it might be different
Open Windows Movie Maker and go to Tools, Options and the Advanced tab. Change the "Picture Duration" to 0.125 seconds. When you drag your pictures in they will be as short as they can go

It sometimes took around 15-20 minutes to set each still. Each star had to be moved one at a time. The waves had to flow towards the left, the boat had to be remade each time from the water's movement, the fish had to be moved down, the clouds had to be moved across and, the letters had to be formed by slowly dropping down the stars.
