Stop Motion Videos

Here is a very simple yet captivating stop-motion video with yarn. The video uses yarn as a medium for typography. The yarn provides captioning of the song that is playing. I love ideas that are extremely simply and very effective. Check it out:

Here is a great stop-motion animation for one of my favorite shows, The Office with Steve Carell. I especially like this comercial because it is good proof that you can use everyday items for props and still do something cool.

This is one of my favorite claymation shorts. It shows a guy pulling up to Jack In The Box drive through with a voice that sounds like Jack Nicholson taking the order. The first time I saw this my cheeks hurt. On a related note, here are some interesting quotes from the god of stop-motion animation himself, Tim Burton.
