      <body>Pretty good first try. My main complaint is the lighting. It needs to be constant. It also should have only took 216 frames for 9 seconds, not 230. Animation is typically done at 24 frames per second. Very minor complaints though. I've always wanted to try stop motion. Maybe I will now after seeing yours.</body>

      <body>You know what would make stop motion so much easier? If there was a camera that would take a photo on the up beat of a metronome. It would keep things nice and timely. I don't know if that type of thing exists.</body>

I took around 230 pictures not that all of them worked.

And go ahead its kind of tedious but still nice.

I didnt found any good tutorial about stop motion just some tips that didnt help me out a lot, so if anyone knows one, post the link here.</body>
