Looking for a woodworking video, help please

[Jonathan Shively]

Folks, I believe it was shared here years back. It was a video of a man leaving his woodshop for the day and his tools took to life and completed a project without human intervention. It was a magical video that I cannot find and wondering if any of you remember it and if it can be located please.

I remember it, but don't remember the guy who made the video. I'll do some digging around and see what I can find.

It's Frank Howarth

Frank Howarth does a lot of stop motion videos like that.

I did one also of a Valentines heart.

Those vids are very cool indeed - I hope to do more like that.

As my Grandma used to say, "You guys are the bees knees!!!!"

I just say, "Thank You Very Much!!!"

My students have not seen these videos yet so putting them on the list. Again, thanks so much!!

Leo, that is wonderful. Without giving out to much info (I am not interested in making videos like this) but general idea, how do you do that?

 

[Leo Voisine]

I learn from Frank primarily. He shows how it it done. I have also researched online - HOW TO DO STOP MOTION videos. Remember the flip book we saw as a kid?

Set up a camera on a tripod.
Best to have a remote shutter - at that time I did not.
Do a tiny bit of work - take a pic.
Repeat the above a zillion times - then repeat.
The smaller and the more pics the better the result.
Mine is a first and quite crude.
I use Adobe video editor, to edit and create a video.
In all honesty - it it a TON of work.

I will do more, eventually.
Frank is a master, and does a lot of it.

That is really cool! I was just as impressed with his tool collection as his video work.
