The music video for Tim Knol’s When I Am King uses a combination of stop motion and pyrography, or the soldering of images onto wood, to create a very new and unique look that works quite well for the desired effect:

…It’s Movie Monday: Drift? http://www.coryobrien.com/items/view/14823/its-movie-monday-drift

Drift is a short that combines digital stills into a stop motion animation, but in a way that I’ve never seen done before. It’s rather hard to describe, so I suggest that you watch it and see what I mean:

…Scanners can tell stories? http://www.coryobrien.com/items/view/14660/scanners-can-tell-stories

Memoirs of a Scanner is a short film that was shot entirely on the bed of a Canon scanner, one scan at a time. Despite those limitations (or perhaps because of them) the story is rather interesting, and makes you wonder just what the scanners of the world are privy to exactly:

…SNASK is fantastic? http://www.coryobrien.com/items/view/14618/snask-is-fantastic

SNASK is a stop motion video made with 1846 photos that took just under four days to shoot. As I’m sure you’ll agree though, that was time well spent:

If you liked the Parkour Motion Reel, then check out the Videogioco-Loop Experiment by Donato Sansone, which features an awesome soundtrack and a hilarious storyline:

LEGO’s CL!CK is a fantastic short about the power of big ideas. With stop motion animation, little toy bricks and an amazing mustache all combined together into one film, it’s a win all around:

…Books can come to life? http://www.coryobrien.com/items/view/12425/books-can-come-to-life

This video, called “Going West”, was created for the New Zealand Book Council to help promote the fact that good books can literally come to life:

If all books read themselves in a kick-ass voice and animated their story using a mix of stop motion and paper craft, I’m guessing I’d probably read more!

…Field Notes can change colors? http://www.coryobrien.com/items/view/11881/field-notes-can-change-colors

Field Notes are memo books “worth fillin’ up with good information”. One way to order them is through a yearly subscription, which includes a new color every three months, and to celebrate the first year of Field Notes COLORS, Coudal Partners put together a pretty cool stop motion video that shows one year of Field Notes memo books transitioning through the seasons:

…Looking Thru The B-Sides trippy? http://www.coryobrien.com/items/view/8751/looking-thru-the-b-sides-trippy

Looking Thru The B-Sides is an AWESOME stop motion short that follows the adventures of a skater named “ollie” as he is off on a quest to find his lost skateboard. What starts off as a casual trip to the skatepark, turns into a wild trip down the rabbit hole and ends up in a way that Alice In Wonderland could never imagine.

…The PEN Story is amazing? http://www.coryobrien.com/items/view/8750/the-pen-story-is-amazing

The PEN Story is similar to Stop Motion with Wolf and Pig in that it uses a series of photos to tell a story, and does everything with a sort of stop motion/animation hybrid that works quite well when done correctly. In The PEN Story, 60,000 pictures were shot, 9,600 prints were developed, and 1,800 pictures had to be shot again, and the result is a great story that uses zero post production to make it all work.

…It’s Movie Monday: SLOW? http://www.coryobrien.com/items/view/8626/its-movie-monday-slow

SLOW is one artist’s “attempt to use stop motion and it’s different time layers to express my perception of time”. It’s beautiful in its simplicity, and definitely worth a watch:

Tom Wrigglesworth created a fantastic spot for HP Invent that uses HP printers as “an orchestra in an aesthetic symphony conducted by HP Workstations.” In less artsy speak, Tom created a kick-ass stop motion movie that uses printed pages to create each frame.

Take one wall, let nine different graffiti artists go at it with one artist’s work going on top of the next, and the result is Time Bomb, a fascinating video that looks at the evolution of a wall as DMOTE, Kid Zoom, Ben Frost, Numskull, Roach, John Doe, Creon, Bennett and KissKiss each do their thing:
