Post for Week of 27th

Here is my project thus far. I still need to complete it, by adding more to the "inside the brain" portion. But so far I am happy with how it is turning out!

Stop Motion Commercial!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSq-UPlPuEM

This United Kingdom commercial is fantastic, especially when the equilizer is going off and they have to time it perfectly. The synchronized movements of many things at once is astounding as well. I would like to try to incorporate this into my stop motion movie just so I can see how its done so smoothly.

Cut-Out Animation

I am still looking for different techniques of creating stop motion animations. I want to try something different for my last project and I think that cut-out animation could potentially be interesting. Using and moving cutouts of different materials come together to create an animation. I thought that this was a wonderful example of how paper can be transformed.

Notblu

Notblu is a channel on youtube that has several really interesting stop motion movies. The ones I've seen are all really large-scale animations on the sides of buildings. They're essentially moving graffiti, which is something I haven't seen anybody else do before. The animations are abstract, but flow very nicely into one another.

Here is the opening to the Showtime Show the United State of Tara using paper that I was inspired by. I put this link on my Power Point but the internet was not working. Enjoy!

Cute Jewish Claymation Video

This is very simple but very cute idea and very simple movement.
Maybe I could do something like this for my next project?
