The wonders of stop motion animation

Sometimes a blog post can do no justice to the enthusiasm - the improvisational dances and giddy cheers - that accompanies the joy of discovering a new creative process. And certainly, for most of us, the concept of making our own stop motion animation was entirely new and enchanting. Our first tries are, well, awkward, raw, and full of inspiration (for us to do bigger and badder things). We kind of love them. In an obsessive we-can't-wait-to-make-more sort of way.

It is strange and intriguing to see almost anything -no matter how mundane or simply drawn - be transformed into the magical by taking a series of slightly altered stills and speeding them up.


The interrelationship between fine or two dimensional art and this new media is fascinating.
