Staring Christmas Videos 2O1O!

Hello everyone! Many of you know me or have seen my stop-motion videos on Youtube. (http://www.youtube.com/cheerio753) I have had a few blogs before for my Sesame Street and Addams Family videos. Christmas time is one of my favorite times of the year and that is how stop-motion started for me. I started by making Christmas video from the holiday classics like Rudolph, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, and The Year Without a Santa Claus. Not only are my Christmas videos my first videos, but as a majority, they are my most popular videos. Especially my video "Put One Foot in Front of the Other" is very popular. Which is funny because I almost didn't do it. Back in 2008, I made a few christmas videos in december. Then i made one in January, then February, then April, and it started to become too far away from christmas to make videos any more. The videos weren't getting any views because who watches Christmas videos in April? So I started to look at other things to do. Things like The Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Coraline. (Back then it never occurred to me that I could do videos that are originally non- stop-motion such as Disney animated movies, the Muppets and the Addams Family.) When I couldn't find anything I really wanted to do, I just decided to do one last Christmas video. Just so I could have time to think of a non-christmas video. So I did "Put One Foot in Front of the Other" thinking that it wouldn't be popular and I was just doing it as something to do. To this day it is still one of my most popular videos. I have had lots of problems with the copyright claims on the music though. I have had the video removed several times but overall the video has had over 140,000 views.  So I have made Christmas videos a tradition. Last year I decided I would make the videos throughout November and December. Usually it takes a month for one of my videos but I couldn't decide on 2 videos to make so I did 5. 5 is a lot. But I did it. I worked really hard and fast and I put out 5 great videos! So I am doing that again this year! My 5 videos will be:


** We're A Couple of Misfits
** Blue Christmas
** Silver and Gold
** You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch
** Santa Claus is Coming to Town- All Christmas Characters


Then I will put out a New Years Video on Dec. 31. The song will be "Auld Lang Syne" by Mariah Carey and the video will have all my 2010 characters.


This is how the blog will work: Every couple of days I will post a update on where I am and what I am doing. The blog will include pictures and videos of the making of a stop-motion video. I really wanted people to see the work and effort put into these videos in a new way. This Blog will open November 14, 2010 and will go through the Making of my 5 stop-motion videos. Then once the video is finished, it will be posted here as well as youtube. Then I will start a new blog on the next video. The next video is a surprise! It will be out May 2011.  Can't wait for this to open and hope you enjoy reading it! See ya November 14th!
