Animating a Short Film Using Carved Pumpkins Requires More Patience Than I’ll Ever Have

It ’s a good matter Halloween only happen once a year , because cleanse out a pumpkin and carving a fun design ( that ’s hopefully secure than your neighbor ’s ) can be pretty boring . With that in mind , you ’ll realise justhow much work lead into this stop - motion animationthat was carved into countless autumn pumpkin .

Crunch the numbers , and a second of bar - motion animation , filmed at 12 frames per second , would require 720 unequalled carvings — although far fewer pumpkins would be want since you could practice each gourd multiple times . That ’s a great deal of work , but on the plus side , the vitaliser behind “ Oh My Gourd ” will probably have enough pumpkin vine seed to last them until October wave around again next year .
