Here’s what you can do if you’re a talented stop motion artist with a fondness for Mario. The music helps make this video – this form the blogger who’s girlfriend sneaks up on him with the dread, baddies coming, “beadie beadie beadie” music playing. What do you think? I think the jumping fish the bathtub […]
Pac-Man the Opera
Is it a capella or is a pacapella? The claymation is good – but I’m harsh these days. I expected it be good. The singing – that’s the surprising part – I expect singing to be just about able to tow the line these days. Are there wobbles in this musical? Sure, yeah, but by […]
Stop motion clay battle chess
I miss battle chess. The ancient game let you play chess with – for the time – some enhanced visuals. This video isn’t a re-creation of the acutal game but it is chess, the pieces do move around the board and they do battle one an other. I think the title “battle chess” is deserved. […]
Animated amigurumi cuteness
Geek Native has covered plenty of amigurumi before – even U900 the cutely animated amigurumi band. Well; it’s time for more amigurumi cuteness and this time we need it in caterpillar form. What? Don’t think this the height of amigurumi cuteness? Waaah!
Song: Twin Suns of Tatooine
It’s been too long since we’ve seen a good Star Wars stop motion. Step forward the Twin Suns of Tatooine as a funky stop motion video for a soothing Star Wars song. Everything I know I’ve learnt from the Twin Suns of Tatooine. Our songsmith is Jeremy Messersmith who should now sit back and enjoy […]
Tron Legacy trailer soundtracks transformed into stop motion lights (via @kpimmel)
This piece of animation from Kim Pimmel is awesome. Inspired by the Tron Legacy trailers, Kim used his “Light Study” photo series and turned them into a stop motion animation. Each and very frame is an individual photograph. It’s a long exposure photo and in some cases that’s up to 20 seconds long. The effect, […]
Human Pac-man
Here’s a neat example of live action stop motion. Yup! Using people in your animations must require lots of volunteers with lots of patience. This isn’t just a stop motion of some Pac-man animations. They play an entire game; maze levels and animations and all. What did you make of the sound effects?
Takeuchi Taijin’s Olympus PEN viral
Here’s a funky ad – being promoted to geeky and gadget blogs – to promote the new Olympus Pen E-PL1 camera. I’m showing it here because it’s not only stop motion but also because Japanese stop motion animation artist Takeuchi Taijin directed. Rather than using paper or photos for this animation – the team used […]
Nintendo characters in beads stop-motion animation
Created by Eric Odmyar and accompanied by very NES-like but still funky music from Bunnymajs is this clever piece of bead animation. Through the simple but painstaking progress of moving hama plastic beads around on a grid Eric has expertly animated characters from Super Mario Bros, Mega Man and the Legend of Zelda. Well worth […]
U900 – the amigurumi band
Certainly worthy of Geek Native’s growing collection of amigurumi posts are U900. Not only are U900 cute amigrurmi, they’re animated by stop motion and video and they’re a band. No ordinary band either; no, U900 make awesome use of the Japanese Ukulele!
