After building the puppet and set in my dorm room, I finally got to do my favorite part - animate.
I animated with a Canon Rebel XS, an iMac, and Dragon Stop Motion at 24 frames per second.
Campfire Boy and I - almost finished. You can see the replacement fire pieces I made out of painted and crumpled tracing paper.
I had to use some real fire for the final shot...
Where they are now. I cut a section of the set to keep, so he never has to leave his fire spot. Original storyboards behind him, too!
