The summer wound down so fast, my boys were caught almost unawares. So many things they’d intended to do – write that comic book, read those novels, blade those rollers. One of the things they’d been meaning to do was do some animation.
Well, yesterday, with one day of summer vacation remaining, nothing would stop them. They seized the family digicam and made some good old fashioned stop motion animation, 4 little movies in fact, before we all went off to the pool for what might have been our last swim of the season.
They began to see the work involved in animation – my oldest son said to me, “Boy, this takes a lot of patience, doesn’t it?” – and the charm of the whole thing. I was reminded of many of my own stop motion projects from days gone by. Ah. I love animation.
