Fortunately for the kids growing up in this technological age, accomplishing this feat has become much more of a feasibility. Between the proliferation of digital cameras and free, easy to use video editing software, making your own movie is now just a matter of patience and vision.
So with all that in mind, I present Alex's very first attempt at a stop-motion movie.
Please note; I hadn't finished adding sound effects before Alex moved on to filming his 2nd version, so at this point, we're chalking this up as an unfinished experiment.
