Major project-changes

So far i have managed to get together all of my materials required for a stop motion project, this includes..
Sculpey clay (very expensive)
Cardboard
Paints and brushes
Camera 1100 d cannon
Bendy metal (for skeletons of models)
Set space

As you see there is a fair bit required and this is just for a basic set up, if i was doing anything more complicated, ie a Nick Aardman style piece, i would need a lot more materials, and larger quantities of the materials i already have.
There has been a change to the stories i was planning on scripting due to technical issues as well as visual problems. So this afternoon i am raiding my daughter's book collection to look for short stories that will fill the criteria.
The website i am putting together to host this project, is being done through weebly.com as it is relatively easy to use and is a basic template for website building, i did however take a couple days out to learn some HTML5 code so that i could understand the basic principles behind building a website from scratch. I found this helpful, but unfortunately i don't have time to learn HTML5 or construct a site from scratch.
I am planning a trip to the cinema soon to watch ParaNorman as part of my research on stop motion, just to see how far it has come along since its birth, and what can be achieved now with the latest technologies.
