SSSEEN!

Pretty self-explanatory, this impressive stop motion by Jamie Bell was done entirely with biro pens and a few flipbooks.

If you’ve been following this blog, or even the internet lately you’ll have heard of “Bad Apple”, but this stop motion version of it, with the frames individually carved into apples sets a whole new standard. Enjoy!

Stop motion AND typography? What more do you want? A short but sweet stop motion film made by ruifilipeabreu. The moving fonts are done quite nicely and here’s some “making of”-information of him in one of the YouTube-comments:

This was photographed with a Nikon D60 with a 18-55mm lens. I shot it with Istopmotion which is very easy to use software, and not very expensive. The music was made with Garage band. And most of the sound FX are stock sounds.

The letters were cut in MDF, and I used the substitution technique.

The set is made of 5mm cardboard painted with acrylic ink
and was inspired/copied from Jacques-Louis David’s painting The Oath of the Horattii.

Quite interesting that it is MDF – it sort of looks like clay.

Very inspirational, even if it’s an ad for a college and not really a message video. I love this kind of stuff that makes you wanna do things! Done by the ad agency Rethink Communication.

A cute stop motion promo to show how Street View of Google is made and give people the impression that privacy is huge concern for them. Made by the Japanese stop-motion studio Pangra! (Pantograph). If anybody has more info about this studio, please tell so!

Titled “The Evolution of Simple”, this promo shows cleverly how Google Chromo goes minimalistic and thereby gets rid of all the (visual) clutter. As with the other promo, it’s made by Pangra! (Pantograph).

Another stop motion video, now for eBay. It’s cool how you can see that they used transparent sheets in order to make stuff work. Made by Max Keily.

Stop motion where post-it notes are being used to animate pixelart in order to visualize his actions on the computer. Pretty neat because of the pixelart-real life interaction. Made by Bang-yao Liu.

And that’s the making of, which is interesting to see how he not only did the stop motion animation, but also the planning and design. It’s pretty funny to see how they used a video camera, considering a photo camera would result in better image and probably a 4K stop motion movie!

Lego meets videogames in this impressive display of stop motion animation.

“Trenchcoat official cardboard cut-out music video directed by Rogier Wieland.” Apparently this guy uses a lot of “cut-out cardboard style” in his videos, but this other motion graphics as well. Check out his showreel below.

Commercial for an Olympus camera (the 3/4th E-P1!) that uses stop motion. 60.000 pictures were shot, 9.600 prints developed and 1.800 pictures shot again for the commercial. No idea who made it.

Apparently (I just read) is the idea inspired by (or taken from) a Japanese short called “A Wolf loves Pork” by Taijin Takeuchi.
