Turns out that film got me interested (for a while) in stop animation. I created a couple hours of stop animation shorts with my friends and brother. Too bad I don't have that footage any more.</p><p>Vicious Cycles was created in 1967 by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Menville">Chuck Menville</a>. Its production value is simple by today's standard but it still is hilarious.</p>https://aaron.blog/mondays-through-the-eyes-of-adhd/Mon, 14 Aug 2017 19:25:29 +0000https://aaron.blog/mondays-through-the-eyes-of-adhd/<figure><img src="howidancetodubstep-facialexpressionsincluded_c69426_3336690.gif" class="kg-image" alt="A british-looking man flailing his arms and legs in front of a brick wall" loading="lazy" width="310" height="330"></figure><figure><img src="flailing-3.gif" class="kg-image" alt="A man flailing his arms" loading="lazy" width="500" height="261"></figure><figure><img src="bf3.gif" class="kg-image" alt="A cartoon character flailing his arms" loading="lazy" width="500" height="375"></figure><figure><img src="eb3.gif" class="kg-image" alt="Skeleton cartoon character flailing its arms" loading="lazy" width="480" height="266"></figure><figure><img src="mpais.gif" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="640" height="360"></figure><figure><img src="flailing-4.gif" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="493" height="272"></figure><figure><img src="flailing_noodle_arms_by_dplover25-d4t7d15.gif" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="400" height="400"></figure><figure><img src="https://aaron.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/6gaqa_s.gif" class="kg-image" alt="Kermit the Frog flailing his arms" loading="lazy" width="200" height="150"></figure><figure><img src="giphy.gif" class="kg-image" alt loading="lazy" width="512" height="384"></figure>https://aaron.blog/the-snowman-walking-in-the-air/Thu, 24 Dec 2015 14:07:52 +0000https://aaron.blog/the-snowman-walking-in-the-air/<p>This is a clip from the animated short, The Snowman, from 1982. This was adapted from a book written by Raymond Briggs in 1978.</p><blockquote><i>I remember that winter because it had brought the heaviest snow I had ever seen. Snow had fallen steadily all night long and in the morning I woke in a room filled with light and silence, the whole world seemed to be held in a dream-like stillness. It was a magical day... and it was on that day I made the Snowman.</i></blockquote><p>This is my favorite scene from the animated short.</p>
