The Emerald Forest - A Midsummer's Dream
"Paint me and ideas will come!" The voice whispered on the wind again, echoing among the soaring trunks, slipping from branch to branch, dallying with the the dappled sunlight!
"We are here, search us out" and there he was - one, no two..
We looked a little closer! Small, green, wise and Yoda-like!
We whipped out our brushes, sketched the features, slopped on the moss colours, captured the image before they retreated once again into the ethereal forest!
Were we dreaming? We have visited that spot many times and only on a mid summer's are we able to see our friends once again.. for dreams are the things that life's dance is made of; each trip across the tight rope a joy, perhaps a means to an end, but always, always, with the right frame of mind and maybe a little luck, a parade of crazy and curious events!
Enjoy the journey for we are already there!

Another dream begins..
Dreaming.. my son's a day dreamer for sure and he has wanted to do a stop motion animation class for a long time; summer freedom, now was the time! Both children participated in my son's little dream and made stop motions all week, modeling clay short films, lego character short films, chess piece short films, sketched short films, painted short films; 24 clicks per second of fun! All paintings, characters and short film by T Moore (age 13) and C Moore (age 10)
Check out the other Midsummer Night's Secret Dreams here! Thanks such to our hostess Kelly of A Stuffed Life! What Fun!

What wonderful creatures. You must be special for them to have chosen to appear for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat stop motion film. We used to do them back in the days of 8mm.
LOVED the Emerald Dance. My sons love making little stop motion movies as well. Only theirs involve battling aliens. You've done a wonderful job helping your children create an enchanting imagination.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Yoda Line. 'Just me by my size do you?' Sometimes the children teach us adults the true way to enjoy imagination.
So glad to meet you at this dream party.

It looks like your really have a very creative family ! I love the paintings and the movie was great. Did they really make it themselves ?? WOW ! Steven Spielberg can retire ;-)

Awww this was just wonderful! I remember doing a stop animation film in high school, I loved it. Later it certainly gave me a lot of respect for Entire feature films done that way.

Oh, I *love* stop motion animation. It lends such an interesting rhythm of movement to a film that you can't replicate with other methods. These are great, especially the dance! I really enjoyed them.
