What do you guys feel about stop-motion animation?
Any little-known animators you happen to follow online?
Personally I love it, and can't wait for Kubo and the Two Strings to come out.
honestly though, this is all just an excuse so I can post Plamo0's work here.
Thought this man was dead for years and literally found his new channel the other day.
Dude was basically a legend on /m/ long ago before he disappeared.
Spread the love, yannow?

I've always had a fondness for stop-motion.
One of my earliest memories were days spent watching Wallace and Gromit on vhs.
Now he isn't really "little-known", I honestly don't think he's known enough.
Talking about Jans Svankmajer.
I always make some time during the year to watch all of his videos. They're just so fascinating. Still haven't seen Alice in its entirety though.

Those are pretty damn good for an independent production. I can't imagine how difficult it was to properly sync the cartoon on the laptop with the animation.
Everything and anything Laika will always be a joy to watch

AH, I fucked up the second link!: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4ifQ_jDJyg
A fairly charming medium that will never deliver a strong enough return to be properly financed during production.
When I was a kid I used to make flip-books and make stop-motion shorts with that Lego camera program.
Anyone remember this gem?

Hey OP, you got a source on that webm? Seems really cool, would love to her how it sounds tho.
>>81434350
Pretty sure that's from Boxtrolls.

While we're on the topic of stop motion, anyone watch Shaun the Sheep? I didn't even know that Aardman made a movie last year.
Never watched Shaun before except for the shorts that they put on the 3ds.

>Wallace and Gromit
You were a good kid.
Claymation is stopmotion right?
Anyways posting my favorites

What the fuck is up with Japs and that Woody doll?
Stop motion used to be a huge meme on /co/.
I wish there were more discussions about it, but what can you do?
>>81434667
Shit man, that's the ticket! Haven't seen this guys work in years.
>>81433799
Bloody hell this guy should make commercials!
Certainly better than what I've seen from every popular youtube stop motion animator.
>>81433799
>1st batch
>Wow this is pretty damn good. A tad janky, but that's gunpla for you I guess. Excellent use of practical effects and camera trickery though. Especially the cannon fire, it was almost palpable.
>2nd batch
>SMOOTH AS FUUUUUUUUCCCKKK
WHERE HAS THIS MAN BEEN ALL MY LIFE?
AND WHY DOES HE HAVE SO LITTLE VIDEOS.
>>81435225
>>81435040
Like I said, the guy was basically a legend on /m/ back when he was active. Which was around 2010.
After a certain point he basically vanished entirely from the internet.
It doesn't help that his videos don't have names one can easily find randomly.
wtf is this

splendid taste, neco z alenky is one of my favorite movies.
This looks like the right thread.
I'm looking for a stop motion / claymation short feature I watched many years ago.
It was an intro to an essai vision of the first two Wallace and Gromit cartoons.
There was lot of weird stuff going on. It was probably one of those shorts were they experiment with the medium and show what you can do with it visually.
I remember a scene when a simple human figure travel round and round on a miniscule planet continuously permutating.
Can /co/ help me?
>>81433799
>That webm
>Omae wa shindeiru
>>81436460
>essai vision
What is that?
>>81436490
English is not my first language. I mean:
When you go to see a movie that is not in the general circuit. Sometimes you can see several features with one ticket. The movies can be old, independent or just weird.
>>81435302
Plamoo actually started around '04 or so and made videos on and off.
And after a decade of doing this, dude's really mastered his craft.

i also like the adventures of tom sawyer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpaRouocBes
shits weird though
laika also ofc
>>81433799
A great form of animation that will be devoured by cgi just like all the rest
>>81436829
not seriously, bro
pirates! band of misfits used both stop motion and cg to great effect. i thought it was really polished, anyway.
also the lego movie tried pretty hard to replicate brick films and i think it really showed.
pic related is the boat they had the pirates on against a green screen
>>81436667
'04 huh? The more you know.
Should be surprised that he doesn't have a job in the animation industry, but I suppose that's what he wants.
If we're talking plamoo I'm just gonna drop this here

I love stop-motion, the result never gets old.
It has a part of reality that 2D/3D animations won't ever have.
>>81433799
I'm from /m/. I don't know why I'm here but thanks for posting this guys new stuff!
When I was younger I loved Wallace and Grommit to death. They'd always air the movies on YTV. I remember I was so young the asshole robot dog actually gave me nightmares because he was so creepy.
ReBoot's 2nd and 3rd season had an entire subplot hidden in the background about Feathers McGraw from one of the movies escaping jail or something. It was great. Apparently it was really popular here since it was animated in Canada and the third season was possible because of YTV too.

Shaun the Sheep has the best bootleg toy. China made this from an Ultraman henshin toy. It's just so stupid I love it . https://youtu.be/2LdaKQvasKQ?t=334
>>81437354
I'm surprised he didn't get cancer from touching that stuff.
>>81436460
>>81436592
If you remember the year that it aired, it would be a lot easier to track down.
The only keywords I have so far are: planet, stop-motion, and walking.
Not a lot of stop motion fans huh. Maybe I should've considered making my thread during the day.
Speaking of stop-motion animation...
https://vimeo.com/98621656
>>81438016
Produced by the same studio of wallace and gromit before 2000. That's all I have.
>>81439885
It's probably one of the animations they did for their character "Morph" then.
There's a ton of those though. Just search through them yourself. Surely you'll enjoy the journey.
>>81440146
Thanks
It's my favorite form of animation.
Sadly it's really underrated thanks to CGI.
Bump with Soviet claymation, because it ends up in each of these threads anyway. Subtitles included.

I find his stuff to be very cute, and very comfy.
>>81434004
I love me some Svankmajer
>>81433799
Three of my favourite animated films of all time are Stop motion. Anomalisa, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Mary and Max are brilliant IMO.
Bump

You've likely found it by now, but that's "Adam" by Aardman Animation

Aaaaaaaaaah thank you so much, it has been 10 years I wanted to scratch that corner of my mind.
It feels so good I want to share another fixed memory of my childhood. This one creeped the hell out me (even more because in my culture there's no such folk legend).

Those are pretty cool man. Surprisingly smooth (of course the plastic models would help with that, but still, damn good)
