Heidi, this is just amazing. Watching this video is the most I've smiled in months -- my face hurts!!! The details are so charming -- the cat being forever tangled in yarn (I can't imagine how you worked with the thinnest possible, two-color strand of CLAY!). The baby's little blinks. The pooping spider. The texture of the circular rug on the floor, and the hand-sewn quilt!!! I'm so wowed by the quilt and how realistic it is, I could have watched just the quilt for an hour!!! The hair on each family member - individual strands! The food items, down to all the individual peas! The fork with a pea on each tine, because of course that's how a child eats peas. The contents of the spoon during the end credits! You are just galactically talented and innovative. Please submit Under the Table to any places where it might win an award, because it should.
Amy! Thank you for watching! You saw all the details! The yarn the cat is tangled in, I must confess, is real yarn. :-) The quilt I handsewed back when my daughter was a gradeschooler. I am so glad the movie gave you smiles. That is my goal. A wee bit o' happiness, amidst the chaos. :-)
Hello Washington Park Media Center! Thank you for screening my stopmotion claymation movie Under the Table! I am delighted the aspiring animators loved it! Thanks for the work you do.
I love it Heidi. You're so right. Under the table was always a special kind of magic. When I was little I had an imaginary monkeys that lived under the dining room table. My monkey buddy was named Shotter.
Hi Shotter! A monkey buddy--that is a treasure. How did your monkey get its name? I had a glow-in-the-dark spider which I (of course) named Charlottoe after E. B. White's beloved story, Charlotte's Web.
Heidi, so fantastic! Watched it several times in order to catch all the details. And then there was one round of watching it where I just marveled at all the energy, time and effort that goes into doing stop action work. And then I wondered if I could or would do a project like this and I came to the conclusion: only if I was part of a film class and it was an assignment! But I know you, and details and challenges and more details...and cheeky details...are your middle name!! Lol! Loved it--loved every bit of it! (BTW, I played a lot under tables and chairs as a toddler...so, I really related!!) ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍😎😁♥️
Dear Kim! Thanks for watching! Your replies mean a lot to me. Thank you for your appreciation--and for being a fellow denizen under the table. Yeees, I love to do hard detail work--but only if I am doing my own difficult projects--i.e. "under the table". Much love to you dear Kim. May all your days be full of healing and full of happines and health and learning--and the joy of connecting with other creatives. See you under the table! And above it! Love, Heidi
