The first time I watched this, I was impressed. Coming from a stop motion background myself, I understand the laborious hours spent animating frame by frame. This carefully planned out street art animation has a great sound track that is paired well with the visuals.

Zero from Zealous Creative on Vimeo.

Written and directed by Australian Christopher Kezelos, and produced by Christine Kezelos, Zero is a stop-motion animation that cleverly takes a look at society’s minority groups through numbers.”We’re all born of the same matter, however we’re not all born equal’. Zero is born into a world where the higher your number, the more respected you are. 9′s are the most important, while 0′s are at the bottom of the social ladder. Zero struggles with loneliness and the feeling that he will never fit in until he meets another Zero – a forbidden love – as the domination of Zero is prohibited from multiplying. It’s a bit of social commentary, it’s a bit of fun and it’s a lot of animation.

Stanley Pickle is a charming and poignant short film directed by Vicky Mather. The film was shot frame-by-frame, utilizing a stop-motion animation technique called pixilation. Stanley Pickle first premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival in 2010, and has since received 33 international awards. This film does a beautiful job of developing and resolving a narrative of imagination, loneliness, and liberation.

One of my favourite animations from last year was awarded the prestigious Grand Clio in Film last week. Johnny Kelly the film-maker, captured it all in camera in one take, using traditional stop frame model animation over a four week period. Not only is the story charming and topical, it has a stirring rendition of a Coldplay track sung by Willie Nelson.

Stop-motion animation always looks amazing, and this music video for a song by Josh Ritter is no exception. It was made with thousands of cut-out pieces of construction paper, and every time you think you’ve seen all they can do with the medium, they hit you with some amazing new effect. Definitely worth all of the paper cuts they probably got in the process.

Mound, Allison Schulnik’s latest stop motion animation, is drop-dead stunning. She makes a world full of hobo clowns, dwarfs, and witches come to life in a way that everything pulses and melt with color. She has such a fine touch, I could just sit and watch her characters breathe. But fortunately, we get to see them dance, play, and morph all over each other.
