The Downside of Going Up

Watch a rogue elevator make the trip to the eight floor for this businessman a tough ride...

This is my first stop-motion production, hopefully many to follow, had lots of fun making it!

Directed, written, built and animated by: Rob Coenen

Music and sound effects by: Musinc

I would like to add that I never would have been able to make this video without the two fantastic books about stop-motion animation written by Ken Priebe, thx!

The floor is painted on a thick wooden plank. The walls and elevator are made of foamboards. Some parts I painted and on the marble parts I glued cardboard with a marble texture.
