Stop-Motion Character Animation

Hey, we're back with another stop-motion animation! This time it's supposed to be character. Hopefully it's understandable if not a bit messy:

Both the crane and the fish in my animation are folded paper. I used 26-gauge wire in the wings of the crane, as well as the body of the fish to keep them in place during certain movements. I also twisted the wire to create sturdier legs and toes for the crane that were easier to see. The toes are movable, but I wasn't able to utilize them fully.

The "water" is just plastic wrap over some blue paper, and the backdrop is a white cloth. I did have to edit out some of my hand as some shots had the characters jumping/flying.

I used Windows Movie Maker for the compositing again.
