Stop (Be Still My Beating Heart) Gap Animation
posted Friday July 16th, 2010
New goal for this year: make a stop-gap video. I’ve become a total slut for it. And now that I have figured out how to embed video (not to mention use a glue gun and an embroidery hoop, though not at the same time), I’m getting cocky. So watch out.
Meantime, enjoy this, which I first watched courtesy of Frances & Smeeks (for some real eye candy, check out Georganne’s blog archives) and can’t stop playing.

making one was on my summer short list…think maybe i can manage it by the end of the year. let me know if you figure it out!
Making stop-gap will definitely keep you busy/happy (responding to two posts with one stone). A student made a stop-gap/claymation video for a Hamlet project. Jaw-droppingly beautiful. It comes in under a minute, but she said it took about 12 hours to make. She has work on YouTube, too. I’ll ask for a link. So, if you can combine busy-ness and happiness, maybe you can combine baking and stop-gap, or needlework and stop-gap, or, here’s an idea: writing and stop-gap.
PS — Check out the stop-gap work to Billy Collins’ poetry that’s on YouTube.
PPS — Parenting has “made” you happy (enabled your happiness?). I’ve watched it happen.
I want to see your student’s video!!! hey, maybe we can do one in our mutual spare time.
and thank you for putting into a sentence what I was trying to say in 1400-plus words. i learned it from the best — you.
