Sammy's hair is the object of suspense in this latest episode.  

It is shorter, and was compiled at a frame rate of 30 FPS to allow for faster action in certain locations.  Size is 1.5 Mb.  Made from about 150 photos, it runs 10 seconds.  Most frames are duplicated 3 times so other segments appear to run faster.  The final frame count was 309.  Much thanks to Christina for her camera help and her 3.5 hours of patience.

A private look at Sammy.  

Watch as he whiles away the day, relaxing at home.  In this, the third of the series our friend tries on his new, mail-ordered...  Well, I don't want to ruin the surprise.  This one is quite large at 4.2Mb. It consists of over 300 photos, and runs 30 seconds.  A real weekend project, about 6 hours went into this clip, not including the time spent preparing.  Special thanks to Craig and Briget for their help with preparations the night before shooting.

Here's the second-latest sammy clip!  Meet Whiskey, Sammy's new canine friend!  

In this exciting episode, meet Whiskey and thrill as Sammy tries his hand at "fetch".  This is a 167 frame MPG.  At 2.5 Mb,  It'll take a while to download... but the dog is pretty good.  Thanks, Christina for the dog, it's just what he needed. 

This one really has a little plot going on.  Also, check out the cool new soundtrack!  I'm trying to find software that will synch sounds to frames.

Meet Sammy, in his debut film.

He can sometimes be silly, but I think you'll like him.  Here you can download a stop motion animation MPG file that I made using the Kodak DC215 digital camera.  It consists of  44 discrete photographs.  This was my first-ever attempt at the medium, and I hope you like it.  I like it enough that I may try to update it once a week.  So please check back for new episodes.

Coming Soon!:  Longer Features and Sound...
