The Sofa Movie

Remember the outdoor sofa/daybed I mentioned I was going to build? It's done! And I made a stop motion video of building it. This was so fun, you guys. My patio has become my primary residence lately, not because I'm so into the outdoors, but because I've ceded the house to the kids. I'm outnumbered, and I had to retreat. Here's the video:

I had the idea to build this because Jon and I did some repairs on the deck and had a few boards leftover. Some I salvaged from the deck itself. And as I was building it, I thought I should probably photograph the process. And as I was deciding what steps to photograph, I thought a stop motion of the process would be hilarious. So I made this tripod:

And downloaded an app called Stop Motion Recorder. The whole video is only about 40 seconds, but it's fun to watch. It was really fun to make (the sofa and the video). The video isn't perfect, of course, you can see my elbows in various shots, but fun nonetheless. Special thanks to my assistant for all her hard work.

That was sarcasm. Yeah, she's back from wherever she was last week, and she's suspiciously exhausted and suntanned.
