I would love to combine this with my ceramic work 🥰 I just need to think of something creative, either with clay or preferably with already fired pieces.

That’s such a great idea. I’d love to see that.

Pro tip: don’t think of anything creative just make something first. You might accidentally have a creative idea in the process anyway!

I meant with creative, a storyline. After all, it’s all about telling a story. Have a wonderful weekend when it comes 🙋🏻‍♀️

Thank you so much for sharing the bts of a bit of your process :) I was wondering, do you happen to have a link you could share for the overhead tripod you used? And would you recommend it? I've been debating purchasing one for a while now...thank you!

Thanks! I can’t find the link for the exact model of overhead tripod I use. Honestly I don’t love the clamp on it. Also I realized later that the clamp is meant to go on the back! 😅 No wonder it kept getting in the way!

If you search for the LISEN Gooseneck Phone Holder it seems like the upgrade to what I have and it only costs around $20. I think it’s worth the investment, especially if you want to make animations and videos.

This is amazing, thank you so much! I had a play with stop motion a couple of years ago but gave up too early I think. Keen to give it another try after seeing this.
