Stop Motion Animations That Give Me Inspiration



Entitled "Western Spaghetti", this stop motion animation takes a cornucopia of different unconventional materials to create a fake dish.

I enjoyed this piece because it was very whimsical and incorporated objects as well as people in a stop motion. Usually, one would not think to put people into stop motion animations; you can already record them on video just fine! But it adds a sort of cartoonish realism that competes very well with live action recording. The use of unconventional materials and how they were transformed really caught my attention as well.



This project is a graffiti stop motion created on a large scale within Buenos Aires and Baden.

The sheer amount of time and energy (and not getting caught!) put forth into this project is enough to make me appreciate it. But the strange creatures that emerge from each other and scurry along the walls and sidewalks are really inspiring. I would never have thought to use paint as a medium for stop motion; I normally would go to materials like clay and objects I have around the house. But with paint, the possibilities are more than endless!


This project is a stop motion of many sand sculptures being created but done in a way that makes the sand look like it's alive!

This is another case in which the medium used (sand) is beyond the scope of what I would have thought to use in a stop motion animation. Though this particular project was created on a large scale on a beach, I can't help but be inspired and wonder what could be done on a smaller scale. On a table perhaps?
