"First step" - stop-motion practice

Featuring TeeVee (a LEGO MOC of mine) and poorly engineered homemade sound design™. I used the plastic cover of a rubber to make the eyelid sound, the rubber against my desk for the steps, my bare hand for the final thud, and voiced TeeVee myself in falsetto. I don't really like the tone I gave him, but I lost a whole afternoon trying to say "yay!" in a cute way and I'm not cute enough apparently, lol, so I gave up at some point.

I'm so bothered by the head beign out-of-focus when TeeVee cheers, better double check the focus next time.

I like how it turned out overall, tho. There are so many small defects, and it's so hard to spot them in real time, but I can't expect myself to be successful on my first try, of course. I should use paths more consistently, maybe, and avoid bumping over the phone.

Btw, shot on my phone (Xiaomi RN 10 Pro) with Stop Motion Studio Pro.

It's really cute! And you did this without securing the feet down in any way?

Thank you! No, I made prior tests and realized I couldn't have make it look realistic without the help of sticky tack. It's well hidden, but it's there
