A lot better than I expected! my first animation was far far worse 
Though the title implies it's a Shaun the Sheep parody or something.

Your film turned out really nice for your first try at stop motion. You made nice use of colors, textures and the sculpting is great.

Thanks for the kind replies!

We didn't plan ahead well and ended up doing the whole thing in a single cutscene.  As in we didn't break it up with different camera angles.  That lead to a constant list of nightmares to happen:

- camera movement between shootings (as much as we tried it ultimately got bonked. Also, this put the camera out of commission for any other usage for many months. I live in the Northwest and had to fly over to Kansas City multiple times to work on this video in my brother's basement.  There a few times where there was a good month between shootings.)
- did it all on tables that wiggled and were not bolted down
- one of the lighting stands was right next to where I sat and I ended up moving it ever so slightly without knowing it.
- since Pete's shoulders and arms were clay they changed over whole process. started out smooth and ended up warbled and ugly.
- we were forced to shoot the video in consecutive order as the timeline.  meaning we couldn't skip to sequence and then come back to do another.

i like the movie, well done
