Okay, so the other day I was messing around, trying to get this “stewie griffin you got my money” thing working. I had this wild idea to create a funny meme or a short video skit, inspired by that classic Family Guy scene. You know, where Stewie’s all intense about getting his money back?
First step, The Plan
First, I needed a plan. Just jumping in without thinking never works. I wanted to make a short clip, something I could maybe post on social media, make people laugh. I thought, “What if I recreated that scene but with a twist?”
Gathering the tools
- I grabbed my phone. It’s got a decent camera, good enough for this kind of project.
- I rummaged through my closet. I found some old baby clothes. I figured they were perfect the main character.
- A toy.Because every Stewie needs his Rupert, right? Or at least, something to stand in for Rupert.
The “Filming” Process (It Was Chaotic)
Next, I tried to “film”. This was…interesting. Let me explain what I tried to do.
I used my phone. I had this idea to use stop-motion, taking a bunch of pictures and then stringing them together. It sounded cool in my head, super professional, you know?
The baby clothes I have, draped over, like, a chair, to give it some shape. It looked…vaguely human-shaped. Maybe. If you squinted. The key word here is “tried”.
And the toy? It just kept falling over. I spent like an hour just trying to get it to stand up straight for one single picture. It was seriously frustrating.
Editing…Or Something Like That
After I took all these pictures (and I mean, a lot of pictures), I needed to put them together. I downloaded some free video editing app on my phone. You see all these fancy YouTubers with their professional setups? Yeah, I’m not one of them.
I dumped all the pictures into the app and tried to make it look like…well, like anything. I added some text, “You got my money?” in that classic Stewie font, or as close as I could get, anyway.
The Final (Disappointing) Result
The final result? Let’s just say it wasn’t exactly Oscar-worthy. It was more like…Oscar the Grouch-worthy. The “animation” was super choppy, the toy looked possessed, and the lighting was terrible. The whole thing just looked like a mess.
But, hey, I tried. I spent a good chunk of my day wrestling with inanimate objects and a free app, all for the sake of a silly Family Guy meme. Would I do it again? Probably not. But at least I can say I gave it a shot. And now I have a newfound appreciation for people who actually know how to make videos.
