Hey, it's my favorite post of the week! I wasn't going to infringe on Eliza's special day by making two posts. So YouTube Tuesday got bumped to Wednesday! Ah, so many to choose from, yet I'm not sure about it "spanning an audience"; who thinks it's funny or not. I usually pick my videos because they are funny. Occasionally it's because they are touching, inspiring, or awesome (which usually involves comedy) but flat out funny, quite often enough, wins.
Today we get an 'awesome' vid. Stop-motion movies amazing & intrigue me. The attention to detail and patience involved astound me. The most I ever delved into the stop-motion world was when I was 11. My dad had a video camera; you know, the suitcase-sized kind that perched on your shoulder and was too unwieldy for anyone under the age of 16. We were living in Alaska and it was Christmas break. Dad pulled out the video camera and instructed us on the finer art of "movie magic". We, the three sisters, posed facing one direction, right arms extended and resting on the other sister's shoulder. Then he said to sing, "Go north, to Alaska." The lyrics to the little ditty we sang were nonsense to us, but now, as an adult with more pop culture savvy in my brain, make a little more sense. He would stop recording, we then all turned in the other direction and repeated the act once again. On the third time, the lyrics changed to, "Go north, the rush is on!" And there it was; the Holloway girl's 'movie magic'. We had a great time re-watching our 'magic. This video by PES is much more professional, but just as mesmerizing.
