This was actually a photography final I did back in community college at home in LA. I decided to do a stop motion. I made most of the props myself out of cardboard and paper. A few of the props were from my old barbies I had laying around. I set up the camera on a tripod and a table and took pictures of my drawing doll in different rooms in my house going about his life. It took about 2 weeks to make the prop, shoot everything, and edit the video. The doll doesn't stand up on its own very easily, so for the (poorly made) walk along the wall I used sticky-tac against his arm to stick him up to wall. I also used stick-tac to make the doll hold things.
While this project was fun, it was also very frustrating because the doll often fell over and I would have to start all over in that shot.
