Crazy Stop-Motion Video Made From Over 2,000 Lomo Film Photos and Super 8 Footage

This is one of those videos that'll make you feel all warm inside. Over 20 Lomographers (toy camera-shooting people) from London got together to create a stop-motion video, combining their various films and shots for what you can see here:

There's even some Super 8 video included, too! They all used LC-A+ cameras (which cost about $250 apiece), but different types of film, such as slide film which was later cross-processed, color negative and redscale for that gritty-yet-warm red negative look. Over 2,000 photos and two reels of 8mm film were shot to produce the video, which was shot all around central London. [Lomography], Via: Gizmodo, Via: Youtube

Papercraft Stop Motion Animated Music Video about Star Wars

(Video Link)
Jeremy Messersmith composed and performed a love song entitled “Tatooine”. It begins like this:

Twin suns of Tatooine
Taught me everything I know
Twin suns of Tatooine
Taught me everything I know

There’s room up there for second chances
Singles are fine but doubles are fantastic
I’d like to think that there’s a star for me and you
Spinning round, falling for one another

Papercraft animator Eric Power made this music video for it. It tells pretty much the entire original trilogy in two minutes and a half minutes.

Making Future Magic: iPad light painting

This film explores playful uses for the increasingly ubiquitous ‘glowing rectangles’ that inhabit the world.

They use photographic and animation techniques that were developed to draw moving 3-dimensional typography and objects with an iPad. In dark environments, they play movies on the surface of the iPad that extrude 3-d light forms as they move through the exposure. Multiple exposures with slightly different movies make up the stop-frame animation. LINK: Vimeo, Via: Walyou

The world's smallest stop-motion animation

Professor Fletcher's invention of the CellScope, which is a Nokia device with a microscope attachment, was the inspiration for a teeny-tiny film created by Sumo Science at Aardman. It stars a 9mm girl called Dot as she struggles through a microscopic world. All the minuscule detail was shot using CellScope technology and a Nokia N8, with its 12 megapixel camera and Carl Zeiss optics. LINK: Youtube

THE MACHINE

"The Machine" is an animated fable following the path of an innocently forged mechanical creature. As his independence and knowledge of the world grows on his journey, as does his desire to conquer all that we encounters, from the pastures of a farmer to the realm of man's entire world.

The story is in itself a mechanized apparition, the characters and scenery exisiting inside of an early 20th century nickel arcade and being driven forward by the gears of this machine.

This film was shot over many hours at Bent Image Lab over the course of several months in 2008-2009. Animated using stop-motion puppets and sets, then composited together in After Effects, the film has a mixed media presence to it that is accentuated by the machine's own collage like form. LINK
