Anyone know of any good stop motion schools in the USA? Not short courses but like a degree length. I haven't found much, lots of short courses. In France there's a new course opening in a well known animation school

Or even other Europe schools...?
I did the tapes this afternoon but again I fell asleep. And again I had very very vivid full colour all senses dreams, but each time it's happened the dreams have been somewhat disturbing. Nothing spooky, just anxious. Maybe the tapes pushing up the quality of the dreams..so whereas I might have normal slightly anxious dreams, these ones are in such vivid detail I feel I actually lived it
I'm interested in how people might interpret these experiences, if we assume I don't go around in a fugue state unwiring cables and hiding my own possessions,
Ghost? Friendly house elves? Cheeky borrowers?
HIFI
So in our old apartment my brother in law had come to stay. His work is sound engineer I think, he designs high end record players. He's a bit of a geek...and was horrified by the messy hifi, tv, cd player setup we had that was thrown together by us.
He spent a fair amount of time behind the amplifier and tv etc rewiring all the cords and cables correctly so we could listen to the tv through the hifi etc. He even left us a diagram of what he'd done all nicely labelled.
I don't remember exactly when but say a couple of days after, we'd been out the house, husband turns oN cd player when we get home and he yells from the next room irritable "What happened to this? Why did you change everything?". I denied responsibility - take a look and all the cables had been undone and were back to how messy they were before.
MYSTERIOUS CAMERA
More recently in our current house (800 years old). I'm a big vintage camera collector. I have a few favourites that I take out and use, maybe take a couple of photos then put it away until next time.
I'd been playing with one in particular then forgot about it. A few weeks later it occurs to me, I haven't seen it for a while, I search all the likely places (I have a dedicated shelf in a closed cabinet where I stash them). I got a bit worried and disappointed because I thought ok that sucks, I must have taken it outside and left it at work or in a park or something. It sucks because it was a nice old camera and also because whatever was on the film is lost.
My daughter was getting ready for a party and I went in the bathroom to tell her something as she's putting on her makeup in front of the mirror. I glance down at the top of the washing machine (where we keep makeup, hair brushes etc) next to the sink. The camera is right there.
To be clear weeks had passed and I had forgotten about the camera. Its also a place I'm in often during the day obviously. Never once saw it. Once a week I clear the top of that area to clean and dust etc.
I interrogated the entire family, even the boyfriend who denied all knowledge. Nobody is at all interested in my cameras, the kids wouldn't know what to do with a film camera anyway.
It occurs to me now I still haven't developed the film...
