			<content type="html"><![CDATA[I liked it. It has some pretty good animation. I thought the combination of stop motion and live action worked seamlessly. I loved that shot at 0:34, when the hand is dragging the figure forward. I thought that shot in particular worked really well. Overall, I enjoyed this a lot. It's a shame you didn't manage to release this on time for the contest, but the end result was well polished, than I'm sure it would have otherwise been, and I think the hard work paid off!]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Awesome work. The animation of the character is very smooth and matches the "liveness" of the video quite well. The payoff at the end was clever too.]]></content>

The saga continues in "Live Meets Stop" where the animator and animated clash. This time, our tiny hero may have the upper minifigure-hand via the power of magic! A failed BRAWL entry. Pay no attention to the stray e's!

Also for the curious, I put up a page that has slight behind the scenes and more general info on my process for animating. Highlights - 24fps to match video speed, and major compositing done in After Effects.

Of course, more than happy to take feedback or suggestions! I haven't animated stopmotion in... 2? More? years, so I didn't have my process nailed down the whole way. Some flicker I was able to mitigate, as well as some camera wobble. I wonder honestly how I used to do it, because I ended up motion tracking every single stopmotion sequence just due to what I presume is camera shutter shake (yes, tripod is taped down, all parts are tightened, I even have my remote capture cable taped to the tripod to avoid any accidental movement on the other end).]]></content>
