HW6: Stop Motion Animation of Falling

I used SAM, the webcam that came with my HP laptop, and my cat's toy mouse. I taped the mouse onto the wall and reshot the scene 3 times in order to get the technique down. I also taped the mouse in 2 spots; behind its body and the tail so I could control how the tail would look.
I set SAM to save at 15.2 fps; I thought it looked best this way. Total of 18 frames.
Originally, I really wanted to make 'top 3' and I thought about photoshopping my cat into the video (so it would look like she held the mouse and dropped it).. but after many tries, I decided that this was beyond my ability.

So... please use your imagination and enjoy:
