I’ve started a new project involving a little spaceman… I plan to do some stop motion with him sooner or later – heres the prototype set on flickr for the moment:

Like the spaceman and his environs. Think the mushroom coffee table will look good in his cave. Dandelion as well.
Looking forward to his adventures.
That looks really promising!
Brilliant pictures! I’m loving the lighting on some and the use of depth of field on others! Looking forward to seeing the spaceman “alive”
Nice lighting. If you didn’t know, you’d never suspect it was a mini-man.
Out of curiosity, are you using a still camera. If so, what are you going to use to ‘sequence’ the shots? The reason I ask is that I’ve just got hold of a remote for my Sony Alpha that also has timer functions for time lapse photography.
They’re all shot on location, with my Canon 40D DSLR with a 60mm macro lens – the little spaceman would be about 2cm tall…. For timelapse/stop motion etc I have a Canon TC80N3 remote timer. I used to have a Canon 30D camera but upgraded to the 40D to get Live View, which is pretty handy for shooting stop motion as means you can onion-skin between the last shot & the live view through the lens… The first stop motion tests I’ll shoot with the TC80N3 but once I get serious & have something story-boarded I’ll be using my laptop running Dragon stop motion software (a friend is shooting who is an animator is shooting a short film with it at the moment & swears by it!)

He needs a nememis, an evil alien
Great character. Did you design him?
I like the cinema style limited depth of field and the non sequitur of his size to that of his environment
