Best stop action vid ever!

I remember spending a month in high school making a stop action video with clay figures and it was less then three minutes long. This just has me in total awe. Any one else tried stop motion?

Saw this on SA a week ago, and yes, it truly is a work of art. Took a LOT of patience to get this right.

Heheh, stop-motion videos... we've all done those. :-) This is by far the longest, smoothest, most inventive and, therefore, the overall most impressive amateur stop-motion video I've ever seen. I recall seeing another kick-ass video (done with Lego, I believe) long ago, but this one is even better!

You mean this?

Wow, that's incredible. I can't imagine how long it took to make that!

Yeah. I remember seeing that kind of stuff during a field trip to an art college. That was over 10 years ago, so...

All it takes is a good amount of planning, creatvitity and choreography. Then you could do it all in 'one take'.

Whee!

Nope, that wasn't it. Lego stop-motion movies are a dime a dozen, though.

I've done a fair amount of stop motion animations. Whether it be claymation, frame-by-frame cartooning, or anything else (we've come up with some crazy ideas)

It's definitely difficult, but the effect is unproducable by any other means. It's very rewarding at the end : D
