Have you ever felt out of place, or like you just don’t belong? Maybe you just haven’t found the right song to sing along to yet!

Jeffrey Bethea, a freelance multimedia producer, used iStopMotion to document the beginning of an eighth note’s journey to find its place in an original composition, which he composed in Finale. In addition to iStopMotion, Jeffrey used After Effects, Photoshop and Premiere Pro to put the story together.

If you have ever thought about bringing something to life in a new way, be sure to watch the video above. Jeffrey used iStopMotion to create a character from a stationary musical note, and we think you can too! Challenge yourself to see how much personality you can create for a unique object around the house. HINT: Try storyboarding or creating a character map, and let the story write itself from there!
