My very first jab at stop motion animation....all feedback would be greatly appreciated! It was pretty fun and laborious process making this very short animation. I wanted to edit each frame by adding a starry background, but then it might be too busy.

I used Frame by Frame to animate it, a basic point and shoot to take the pictures. I wanted to add the music but iMovie isn't cooperating..

To me, the Mirror Girl's name is Minette.

shoes in my hand,
sand between my toes,
the sun beating down,
wind in my ears,
wind in my hair,
salty air.
