Today it’s all about stop-motion animation, a technique I love and admire (can you imagine the patience it takes to film a stop-motion film?). Here are three short films that use the technique for very different effects.
First up is Antonio Martinez‘s Near the Egress, a film using “over 800 modern dryplate tintypes” made from black-and-white film; the project took five years to complete. Martinez “created this video to serve as a desired childhood memory of the circus, but through the mind of an adult.” Via.
Next is a music video for the band Gypsophilia for the song “Horska.” Sydney Smith and Jason Levangie created the stop-motion animation. The video is a lot of madcap antics. Via.
And last is a video that can’t help but make you smile as you head into the weekend: Sticky Man by Eduard Taberner, who started making the video when he was fifteen (Facundo Ferreyra did the editing). Very fun! Via.
