This stop motion video from PES shows every day household gamer items being turned into fresh guacamole. It’s worth watching because, for stop motion, it’s incredibly fluid. The trick is to spot when the gamer items are being brought it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQMO6vjmkyI
The history of the world as a stop motion music video
This is a music video. You can grab the album for free at Kalle Mattson.com. I like the single. It’s chirpy. It’s fun. It’s good for a Friday. It’s the video that catches my attention, though, as a clever bit of stop motion. Stop motion with dinosaurs and dragons. As this is a history of […]
Super Mario beads: the stop motion terror
Here’s what you can do if you’re a talented stop motion artist with a fondness for Mario. The music helps make this video – this form the blogger who’s girlfriend sneaks up on him with the dread, baddies coming, “beadie beadie beadie” music playing. What do you think? I think the jumping fish the bathtub […]
Pac-Man the Opera
Is it a capella or is a pacapella? The claymation is good – but I’m harsh these days. I expected it be good. The singing – that’s the surprising part – I expect singing to be just about able to tow the line these days. Are there wobbles in this musical? Sure, yeah, but by […]
Stop motion clay battle chess
I miss battle chess. The ancient game let you play chess with – for the time – some enhanced visuals. This video isn’t a re-creation of the acutal game but it is chess, the pieces do move around the board and they do battle one an other. I think the title “battle chess” is deserved. […]
Animated amigurumi cuteness
Geek Native has covered plenty of amigurumi before – even U900 the cutely animated amigurumi band. Well; it’s time for more amigurumi cuteness and this time we need it in caterpillar form. What? Don’t think this the height of amigurumi cuteness? Waaah!
Song: Twin Suns of Tatooine
It’s been too long since we’ve seen a good Star Wars stop motion. Step forward the Twin Suns of Tatooine as a funky stop motion video for a soothing Star Wars song. Everything I know I’ve learnt from the Twin Suns of Tatooine. Our songsmith is Jeremy Messersmith who should now sit back and enjoy […]
Tron Legacy trailer soundtracks transformed into stop motion lights (via @kpimmel)
This piece of animation from Kim Pimmel is awesome. Inspired by the Tron Legacy trailers, Kim used his “Light Study” photo series and turned them into a stop motion animation. Each and very frame is an individual photograph. It’s a long exposure photo and in some cases that’s up to 20 seconds long. The effect, […]
Human Pac-man
Here’s a neat example of live action stop motion. Yup! Using people in your animations must require lots of volunteers with lots of patience. This isn’t just a stop motion of some Pac-man animations. They play an entire game; maze levels and animations and all. What did you make of the sound effects?
Takeuchi Taijin’s Olympus PEN viral
Here’s a funky ad – being promoted to geeky and gadget blogs – to promote the new Olympus Pen E-PL1 camera. I’m showing it here because it’s not only stop motion but also because Japanese stop motion animation artist Takeuchi Taijin directed. Rather than using paper or photos for this animation – the team used […]
