Jed (10) has been experimenting with stop frame animation using my old still camera. Most of his movies so far have been short and sweet, and totally barmy. With the girls at the ballet, I took the chance to steer him into telling a story, but in the end much of my input was confined to developing cargo cult behaviors to keep the truculent Windows Movie Maker gods happy. Happy Christmas!
Update: YouTube seems to be up the spout, so flipped to Google Video.
Nice job, Jed! A gripping tale, clever use of stock footage “mashups”, and keen animation skills. You’ve got a bright future… and do keep working with that Best Boy! :) A very merry Christmas to all you Downeys.
Hi Paul,
What’s a best boy? and why wasn’t it Jed?
Nice Video Jed, I particularly like the bit about the fog and trains http://doubleoh2.blogspot.com/2006/08/august-24th-2006-1010pm.html

Jed, you are a superstar in the making. Well done and keep up with the guitar too. Ian
