Stop Motion Paper Cutting

Dig this stop-motion film for the NZ Book Council. The short uses roughly 3,000 still images to animate a portion of Maurice Gee’s novel, Going West. The piece was produced by Colenso BBDO and animated by Andersen M Studio.

“The entire film is handmade, using only 10A scalpel blades and paper,” explains Martin Andersen. “It was photographed on two SLR cameras and lit using Dedo lights.”

Post-It

Dead­line is an ambitious senior project by Bang-​yao Liu, a stu­dent at Savan­nah Col­lege of Art and Design. Liu used over 6,000 Post-It notes to complete this life size pixel animation full of finely executed iconography.

Where my idea comes from is that every time when I am busy, I feel that I am not fighting with my works, I am fighting with those post-it notes and deadline. I manipulating the post-it notes to do pixel-like stop motion and there are some interactions between real actor and post-its.

Subprime by Mike Winkelmann

This two and a half minute stop-motion animation takes you back to the excessive building during the realestate boom to the eventual crash of the housing market.

“The video was meant to illustrate the cyclical nature of the economy,” explains Winkelmann, “which at its root is fueled by an insatiable push for ‘more, bigger, better,’ until it becomes no longer sustainable, and the bubble bursts—as we have recently seen.”

Mike Winkelmann, aka Beeple will be showing his film Simple Extraction at the Dead/Live Video Festival as part of the Boston Cyber Arts Festival May 2nd at the Massachusets College of Art.
