Yay! It's the weekend. Saturday mornings at my house are times to catch up on everything forgotten during the week and sneak in a few loads of laundry. And while I'm waiting for the spin cycle to end, why not catch up on my favorite stop motion films on my iPhone. I thought the Sorry I'm Late short film would be the perfect pick for the last day of Shark Week.
And while we are talking about diversions from completing the Saturday morning chores, check out the lovely Cartolina iPhone app that creates an eco-friendly card to send via your phone using your favorite photos. Check out the card above I created in seconds featuring my pal Gizmo.
I do love everything about dogs and stationery, but I digress... Back to watching the film on your phone or laptop. The stop motion short film Sorry I'm Late by Tomas Mankovsky is a whimsical 2-minute film about "being late for an important date. The movie was shot in an auditorium in London with a stills camera in the ceiling and pointing straight at the floor. Be sure to watch the credits portion at the end of the film because it gives a glimpse into the technique for making this innovative movie. You can watch the short film below.
Check out this link for a more detailed explanation with photos on the how the filmakers made the stop motion video.
