The alien's facial animation and lipsynch look great!

Three students at the Art Institute in Kansas City have won an Academy Award! Read the article and then decide to outshine them! Form a production team, perhaps register for next quarter's elective in Stop Motion Animation, talk to Lesley Padien and Eric Van Hamersveld for advice.
