Tennis Match

It's game, set and match in today's video (sorry - it's a bad joke, but I just had to give it a try!)

Remember to read the video description, as it's kind of important.

So, I recently managed to acquire both of the minifigure tennis players (there's a store near me that does series 3, 4, 7 and 8 packs). At first I was quite disappointed, as I wanted to get gorilla suit guy, but then I realised that since I have both, I can do a tennis match.

I spend a lot of time at my grandparents, where I have a really basic animation setup and loads of 80s LEGO, so I took up some minifigures and ended up doing this. I didn't have much time for this (chores, dinner, homework etc) which is why it's quite short, although I did think it would amount to something a little bit longer.

When I have my new computer, which should be quite soon, I'm going to try and do a short animation quite regularly. At some point, that'll include a tennis rematch. They're great minifigures and I really want to get the digital ball movement right (it's a bit dodgy in this video - my computer's so laggy that I can't tell what the actual frame will look like while I'm editing) so watch out for more tennis!

Oh, and there's something else which will be regular too - Slender Man. Call it an Easter Egg. He's really prominent in this video because I want you to notice him, so that you'll keep looking for him in future videos...

Finally, here are some clues towards my next videos, both stop-motion and live-action:
  • Pirates
  • Grave
  • Bat
  • Watching
  • Dream
  • Tree
Good luck figuring out what all that means!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
