This Sofa Was Made For Reading

This Sofa Was Made For Reading from Liza Jane on Vimeo.

I am not going to tell you how long it took me to make this video.  It's too embarrassing.  Maybe longer than it took to upholster the couch- ha!

The sofa is done.  Totally completed.  Finito.

J and I put on the last bit of double welt this weekend.

I had planned on doing a final post today, culminating with this stop motion video.  But being a total video amateur, it took me forever to figure out how to do this.  Forever.  I was even scratching my head on how to post it here.  And adding music- oy, what a headache.  Hence the dorky piano music.  No chance of any copyright infringement here.  On a side note, it's funny how music changes the mood of a video.  I ended up with this particular song choice because it made the sofa seem happily enchanted.  Before, I had some ominous tune that made the cushions seem utterly creepy and crawly. 

How did you do it, Alana?  Your fun little video the other day inspired me to try it myself.  I guess I could have just emailed you and asked.   But being rather bullheaded, I just plowed on through with my techno-ignorance.  Once I started I was determined to finish.  Anyway, here is my cinematic masterpiece!  Please ignore the little fuzzy monster who butts in every so often.  I could not keep her away.  

I'm planning on doing a sofa wrap-up post this week with a few more pictures, when I recover from this post.   I'm just tickled that it all turned out.  We now have a fabulous, groovy sofa in our front room- if I do say so myself :)
