Excellent!

When I see things like these stop motion movies, it makes me want to go out and try them. It looks like it was fun to do. It's infectious.

We did this when I was a kid, with my father's super 8 movie camera.

I saw a dance performqnce like this. the stage was absolutely dark and you couldn't see anything. The dancer had a remote trigger for a strobe inher hand and as she ran around the stage leaping in the air, she'd click the trigger and fire the strobe. The effect was that she was floating motionless through the air.

I can't remember the company's name. Maybe Ellen Sinopoli?

Corny but cute.

Wait for the entire screen to load up with all four horses and a fence in front of them. Then click on each horse. Make sure your sound is on. Re-click on any horse to make it turn off or turn it back on again. Somebody did some real wizardry of programming to coordinate this! Try clicking on the horses from left to right then right to left then just one or two at a time...
