EXAMPLES OF STOP MOTION

I immediately began searching the net for stop motion and hand drawn animations and found myself really excited about all of the different styles and techniques of videos I stumbled across. Here's a range of very different animations I managed to find online that really got me thinking about the different elements and processes I could bring into my final animation.

First off we have a simple animation using hand drawn images and additional sound effects. I really like the simplicity and the child like element created using simple felt tip pen drawn images but also the relationship between the images and sound effects, that really make this video what it is. Leaves me feeling a bit nostalgic!

This next animation is beautiful, it links the use of stop motion and film so well that I don't really understand how it's been done ha! It's a very sweet story and a perfect example of how you can animate inanimate things into people/creatures that convey emotion.

I'm sure alot of people will have this next video on their blog but it's such an amazing example of stop motion it blows me away. I was especially impressed by the changes of perspective that were created for example when the sink is used as a swimming pool. Overall just a very very clever journey!

This is a video created by studiocanoe for an advert for Lego. Another very simple but very effective idea I really like. It gives me an idea to prehaps do a similar thing but maybe using hand drawn images places over real life buildings/people/objects or maybe using photographs of things overlapping with real life. Either way a really nice idea to play with.
