Stop Motion Animation put to the Words in a Song

My first animation ever.
It's a video I did for a school project [long ago], set to Tom Waits' "The Piano Has Been Drinking".

It could be better, but it's done, on schedule.
It was my first shot at stop-motion, and everything was done by me: the puppets, the set, furniture*, clothing*, props and so on; also directed, shot and edited by me, obviously. (*someone helped me with some of the wooden stuff -the counter and tables- and another someone with a couple of clothes).
I recycled/reutilized a lot; only the clay and wire for the puppets and some of the wood were bought specifically for the film (keeping the budget at a minimum).

It allowed me to experiment with a lot of things. (I basically had never made anything with fabric in my life, I didn't know how to build any kind of puppets, or how to do stop-motion, as well as some other stuff I managed to get done). So my project ended up throwing a bit of pretty much all of my school's departments in the mix (film, sculpture, textiles, wood, design - with the set and everything -, graphic design - with the dvd cover and label I did -, etc.)

Unfortunately I had to butcher the song: I cut out some parts [making it even with three equal parts before each chorus] that weren't "talking" much or that would give me bigger problems. After all (and specially if you're on a shedule), a few less seconds of animation save you long hours of hard work.
Apart from the opening scene, that I shot in a different way first (and the falling cigarette obviously), everything was on first take - it's not like it doesn't show! (I really was running short on time, so, I had to convince myself 'ok that's good enough')

I feel the video is a bit "speedy"... But well, it's not bad, and more importantly, it's Mine. 
Enjoy! =)

Music Video - Still Life

Uploaded by YouTuber officialdirecttv

Published on Oct 3, 2012

Photographer Mark Janssen & director Mink Pinster joined forces in an intense collaboration to create a fairylike stop motion video. Mark Janssen is specialized in staged photography, preferably with a present ominous layer. Together with Mink Pinster and his amazing crew, Mark's photography is brought to life. 

Inspired by the song 'Still life' by the dutch band 'DI-RECT' they wrote a surrealistic plot in which the hair of a beautiful young lady takes control over her senses. Sigrid ten Napel, put down an extraordinary performance, posing and acting more than 32 hrs to shoot over 3000 photos. Set designer Annelot de Regt and international hair & make-up artist Dennis Micheal blew frame by frame life into the hair of the model and created a surrealistic world in which all senses are stimulated. Accomplishing big non-commissioned projects is an important aspect of Mark Janssen's work. Combining real acting with stop motion photography was a new challenge, which resulted in this tasteful video.

Music: DI-RECT
Video made by: Mark Janssen & Mink Pinster
Actrice: Sigrid ten Napel
Set design: Annelot de Regt
Make up & Hair: Dennis Michael
Set assistants: Daan Dicke, Lisa Lente, Manne Messemaker
