Isn't it easier to use a normal video camera and hit record in short bursts as you inch your worm along? It is much easier cuz you don't have to stick it all together in Movie Maker.

Hey, guess what I did today!! I know this is silly but I was waiting to get my kids from school and thought I'd try it! I would love to hear your advice.

This instructable is very straightforward and I appreciate that! It looks like it is going to be exactly what I was looking for. I've been wanting to try a stop motion project but the other instructions that I've read seem to complicated. I'm gonna try this-even if my subject is lame-and post it sometime this week! Thanks for posting!
