The Hippo Gazette: Music Video in The Making!

Hi everyone! I spent today working on a new AGMV! I did a lot of set designing, & I got to film part of it too! I had fun making doll-sized posters/flyers for a city scene...

I also had the opportunity to work on costume design! I feel like that's one area I've never really paid much attention to with stopmotioning, and as a result I'm not very good at it. But I got to stretch my creativity today with my doll's outfits for this AGMV & I had a lot of fun! Here's the girls lined up in their costumes...

My sister let me use some of her dolls today, which was really helpful because I needed a bunch of actresses in a crowd scene! She's always so generous with her dolls... I could learn a few things from her! :) Once the outfits were on the dolls & I gathered all the necessary props, I headed outside to film! I usually put on music while I film to help keep me focused (& to prevent boringness... taking picture after picture can sometimes lose it's original shimmer after an hour or so of nonstop filming xD) So music usually helps me stay inspired to film. I was surprised- the weather was really nice today! That made filming outside more enjoyable :) Here's some pictures of my outdoor sets!
