This is pretty impressive. As you watch the video try and work out how the 3D effect and stop motion is achieved. For a start you can see they do a very good job at getting the straight lines straight and, of course, at scrubbing away the old chalk lines so the board doesn’t become […]

Thompson over at Gamers and Grognards, to honour the legend, Geek Native will be taking part in a “blogfest” dedicated to the man.

Maker vs Marker: an animator takes on his animation
This stop motion animation from Jonny Lawrence makes me wonder how hard artists find it to kill off their creations once they’re no longer needed. Mind you. There’s nothing to say characters created by artists have any intention of being killed off quickly or easily. Inspired by Street Fighter and with a great soundtrack, this […]

The history of the world as a stop motion music video
This is a music video. You can grab the album for free at Kalle Mattson.com. I like the single. It’s chirpy. It’s fun. It’s good for a Friday. It’s the video that catches my attention, though, as a clever bit of stop motion. Stop motion with dinosaurs and dragons. As this is a history of […]
