Fat Dinosity

So this is kind of a nepotistic plug, but a friend of mine made and posted this short video (semi-claymation style!) and I thought it was cool enough to share here. It's called Fat Dinosity, and that's Erin (the creator and a high school classmate) staring in the video.

What do you all think?

I saw that last week, via Shapely Prose (maybe?) and ZOMG I love this lady! Which I knew what Gossip song that was though.

lol!

"Wanna go buy horizontal striped shirts?"

Aw, I needed that. Also I am jealous that you have such cool friends.

I thought this was an incredibly cute video and it made my morning!

Loved it! Might go change into something more daring for the day :-)

i LOVE this.

that was hilarious. i want a dinosaur friend.

It says it's no longer available.

Now I'm sad.

i'm a huge fan of DIY videos and this one is amazing. i wish a had a dinosaur to wear striped shirts with. keep up the creative work erin!

I loved the part where they sing and jump around.

(and went Melinda gets chomped).

I went to college with her and worked with her on some activist stuff. She's so awesome! For her senior project she made this amazing documentary called Embodied Revolution. It's about gender, queer, and fat activism. If you ever come across a copy, I highly recommend it. Totally a badass lady!

Horizontal striped shirts! I'm in love. :D

The fat-phobic corporate media may never hire Erin as a professional model.

But she's something much better: a ROLE MODEL. One of the most positive and healthy I've ever seen!

This video is a beautiful piece of art. It demonstrates, through animation and dance, that beauty, contrary to popular myth, is not a noun, but a verb. May much beauty continue to come out of this glorious work!

Wow, that's the first time in YEARS I've come across anyone who looks almost exactly the way I did when I was her age (a long long time ago). Of course I wasn't nearly as talented! Go Erin!!

Erin is super cool. I met her when she came to my college's women's resource center to show her movie - embodied revolution. Search for it online and check it out! It's really good! It's all about gender based and body activism.

Thanks for posting this!
