SPC Challenge: Miming Around!! Skill Week 2

Secret Desire Skill

Miming%20Around.JPG


As a visual artist I have a love for costume making (and I have made some big wearable art costumes), but I also secretly love performing. My cousin Robi Arce is a professional Actor/mime (he has MAD good preformin' skillz!), he even has his own mime troupe. Every time I see him, I secretly yearn to do some collaborative piece with him. This fourth of July I got my chance!! We made a digital still stop motion animation of the adventures of two clowns (FruFru a.k.a. me) and Growbo (Robi) - the quality isn't great (especially after it loaded on to you tube) but everything was made with still images (a lot of them). We made three video shorts - but I have only had a chance to edit and complete this one:


The self-portrait shots that I got out of this are some of my fave pics that I've taken in a long time. Here are some more:
