The Love for Stop Motion
 

Share your favorite Stop motion videos from professionals to amateurs.
If you make stop motion video's share your vast knowledge about the field, how many frames do you use, effects, green screen and etc

got questions for how to make stop motion or just stop motion in general, post them here.

most of us know about the Tim Burton Stop motion movies and Robot Chicken. I am a huge fan of them, but here is some of my other favorites:

Ivo Caprino.
The late Norwegian film-maker, famous for his fairy tales made with stop motion and the feature movie Flåklypa Grand Prix (Pinchcliffe Grand Prix)
The Ashlad and his good helpers
Shorts from Flåklypa Grand Prix (english dub)

Plamoo.
A Japanese youtuber who made incredible fluid stop motion animations with his gundam and Busou Shinki figures
His account is now gone but he still have a web site running
NOTE: The site is in Japanese, but is fairly easy to make out of. his video's are also hosted by fans on you tube, simply type "PLAMOO" in the search bar.

Jan Svankmajer's Něco z Alenky has some really awesome stop motion sequences. It's an excellent movie.

That is some incredible stop motion.
Saw a screening of a student animation film in February, now I see where they had their inspiration from.

:ohwell: Good Idea ;) I Got sum Love about that & for those who like stopmotion, I've created a thread about that on TMNT toys you should check it and participate by the way of creating your own ;) http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=30664

The music video for Grizzly Bear's "Ready, Able" has some particularly trippy stop-motion (which is basically the entire video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puph1hejMQE

And then there's always this thing, which everyone needs to see once before they die.

Animation History 101: 4 influential stop-motion films
 

Paul Berry, The Sandman, 1991 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjgHb...eature=related
- this is done by the same guy who animates the puffs commercials. Pretty creepy! Nominated for an Oscar.

Kawamoto Kihachiro, House of Flame, 1979

- This is a ghost story animated in a bunraku puppet style. Very beautiful and creepy as well.

Jiri Trnka, The Hand, 1965

- famous Czech stop-motion animator, known for animating puppets. The hand is an allegory for artistic suppression under the Soviet Regime. Was banned in the Czech republic for decades.

Finally, a film that every animation history class will include:
Wolfgang and Christoph Lauenstein, BALANCE, 1989

-Winner of the 1989 Academy Award for best animated short film.

I've done stop motion before, but I prefer drawn animation right now. 12 frames per second should be sufficient for fluid animation unless you are diehard and want to go 24 fps (good luck? :\) Inexpensive programs such as Istopmotion and Digicel Flipbook should be sufficient for creating stop-motion footage.
