Lil 'n Big

One night I wanted to make an animation like all the other people in the world so I bought a program that i heard about from my friend that he sayd was very cool. So I bought iStopMotion Home and started to animate. I used clay to animate the video, I am just improvising the animation and I think it is very fun. Im trying to stick to a big figure and a smaller figure. Im thinking of making a serie of animations, and I have made two animations in the series already.
