A Stop Motion History of the World

Just spotted this wonderfully crafty stop motion piece from director Kevin Parry that follows the history of the world from the big bang through, well, I don’t want to ruin it. Lovely work. (via the awesomer)

What Goes Up: A Figurative Stop Motion

What Goes Up: A Figurative Stop Motion video art stop motion sculpture claymation animation

I spotted this beautifully animated stop motion short by an artist named Lacey. In the words of my three year old son: “Oh dad, it’s a stick man! Oh oh oh no it’s a ROBOT! Ohhhhh NOW IT’S A LADY!!!” So that’s pretty much what you’re in for.

I Look & Move

I Look & Move video art stop motion animation

How fun is this new stop motion short by Russian animator Constantine Konovalov. Via Vimeo he says the concept was born from all the people “who were able to turn this world, to change something, build something, create something and do something that leaves a mark on our planet.” So, in essence, maybe this is how Steve Jobs saw the world, iPhone included.

Mind-bending Animations by Johan Rijpma

These two animations by Johan Rijpma are unlike anything I’ve ever seen. In the first he organizes the photographs of thousands of street tiles to create the semblance of motion. In the second involving rolls of scotch tape — seriously? Is this even possible? Just watch. (via vimeo)

Epic “Back to the Start” Stop-Motion Ad for Chipotle (Plus Bonus Making-Of Goodness)

Epic Back to the Start Stop Motion Ad for Chipotle (Plus Bonus Making Of Goodness) sustainability stop motion food farming animation advertising

The blogs are buzzing today over this new stop motion ad for Mexican food chain Chipotle by London-based Johnny Kelly, set to a Willie Nelson cover of the Coldplay song, The Scientist. The video features the story of a farmer seduced by profits into large-scale unsustainable and unhealthy farming practices who decides to go “back to the start”, ridding the farm of its factory machinery resulting in happier and healthier animals. The quality of the animation is simply incredible and I was left wondering how on Earth they had accomplished some of the shots. Luckily the production team at Clapham Road Studios was a step ahead of me and shot a making-of clip that shows the enormous table containing the farm and hundreds of components used to make it move.

Many more production photos can be found here. Over the past decade I have eaten at Chipotle so irrationally frequent, they should just wrap my burritos in common stock. (via laughing squid)

Update: Turns out Kelly needed to make the video private for now. I’ll leave it up in hopes that things get switched back on at some point.

Quasi Cinema

Quasi Cinema stop motion serial sequence narrative movies installation

I just covered the work of Lucas Simões less than 10 posts ago but he just uploaded this new project called Quasi Cinema that seemed worth mentioning. Using sequential photographs that have been bent and woven with string into long rows he recreates a sense of cinematic motion in these wall-mounted installations. Much more here.
