Love this! (Click the picture to watch)
Found on Motionographer via Drawn! this is the title sequence to the Platform Animation Festival in Oregon this weekend. Created by directing duo Smith and Foulkes using a Canon DSLR:
Smith & Foulkes used a Canon Digital SLR camera linked up to a laptop allowing them to capture frames and play them back checking the shots as they went along. By shooting digitally Smith & Foulkes ended up with a much larger image size to work with when compared with the normal 35mm motion picture frame. These frames were then taken into After Effects and Photoshop for a clean-up where people and rigs from shots were removed. A final grade was then added in Flame.
Other little gems from this duo are the excellent Robinson’s ads that are running at the moment (Raise them on Robinsons):
and the classic “Hate Song” ad for Honda:

Nice! Stop motion animation is one a long list of creative things I want to try at least once.
As for the motion graphics… if I could go back 15 years and someone asked me what I wanted to do when I left school, that’d be it!

Delightful. That was such a romantic moment when the ball came bouncing down the stairs.
I hope you’ll post more animation. Thanks very much.
