For my next project I am planning on doing a stop motion piece, and the following includes the research and the inspirations that i have found thus far.
I thought that this was a sweet music video, great use of stop motion. Her Morning Elegance, by Oren Lavie
This is one of Krisen Lepore's pieces. I really like the style of her stop motion, although most of her pieces are not as funny as this one. Check out her site http://www.kirstenlepore.com/
Western Spaghetti is one of many twisted films made by PES. To see more check out his site at http://www.eatpes.com/
Living organics is a 10 minute stop motion piece that is made up of 18,000 photographs. It was created in 2007 by Kiera L. Faber.
