My submission for #fella's "What Is DeviantART?" Contest [link]

593 frames and over 360 handmade paper stars were used to make this animation!

This took about 3 days to do. Sometimes it took up to 15-20 minutes to set one frame, such as the ocean scene.

The background is brown present-wrapping paper taped to 4 hardcover books, laid on the floor of my room. I had to lock out my cat, sister, brother, dad, and basically everyone from my room for three days

There is also a huge window in my room, so I had no control over lighting unfortunately.
I used a Canon Rebel XS mounted on a tripod, and the photos were taken by hand, no remote. The music was a recording of me playing an original piece just for this project on piano, taken with a Flip camcorder on tripod.
