I had a bunch of acorns lying around from summer, so I thought that would be a cool item to drop. Although, I did have to go hunting for the right leaves since acorn's don't fall off of lemon trees. Then I had to glue branches together because the one's I could find were too short. Then I couldn't find glue, ect.
I did this locked up in "bathroom studio" to prevent the cats from playing with my project. I sketched out the drop rate and path in a light HB pencil using the odd rule. Firs,t I was using my digital camera, but the legs of my mini tripod are made of that bendy/wirey material often used on adjustable lamps. This cause the camera to move every time I accidentally grazed it, thus ruining the consistent background. Later, I used Sam animation on a laptop since that was more forgiving. Overall, I am pleased with the acorn drop itself, except for the end when the acorn cap has a seizure or something. Big thanks to Cory and Hillary for being there for me.
Looks nice. My one criticism is that the final action, after the acorn hits the ground, is almost out of frame and is hard to follow. Otherwise, you did well in planning and executing the shot.

yea, the red youtube load bar gets in the way when the window is small, but when I fullscreen it, it's in the frame.
