A tale of swords and souls, eternally retold...

The assignment was to do something with an egg. This is what I did.

So let me give you the rundown of what's going down here:

I decided that I wanted to do a stop motion animation of an egg as a sperm cell searching for the egg to fertilize it. I stop motioned the whole thing except for the tail, since I couldn't figure out a decent way to animate it without it looking terrible. As such, I chose to shoot the whole thing, throw it into Flash and add the tail on that way. The song is a lullaby version of "Today" by the Smashing Pumpkins. In the end, cell meets other cell, baby is made.
