With the release of Paranorman just around the corner, there have been so many amazing videos released, it's very hard not to get extremely excited!
Not only are these videos fantastic for promoting the art of stop motion to the general public but they are also extremely inspiring for us stop motion animators, model makers, puppet makers.

So here are all the fantastic promotional videos they have released so far. I will also post all of the trailers at the bottom just in case you may have missed one.

Trailers

The Necktie

'THE NECKTIE' or 'LE NOEUD CRAVATE' by Jean-François Lévesque


This is an utterly outstanding short film. The animation is beautifully done. The puppet and set are fantastic and there is also some amazing 2D cut out animation in it for some of the characters and it is done VERY well!
Definitely one to watch.

The Eagleman Stag

'THE EAGLEMAN STAG' by Mikey Please


This film is nothing short of outstanding. Definitely one of my favourite short films. Be sure to watch the 'Making Of' as well!


I have had a bit of a break from posting on here as I've been really busy with my own work, which you can see here http://stopmotionben.blogspot.com but I hope to get back on track with this blog.

Anyway, if you haven't checked out this short before then now is the time!





Making Of

The Village

I am very glad to see that 'The village' by Stelios Polychronakis is now online. It is a very lovely and eerie short film.

The sets and puppet truly are outstanding with the puppet made by the legendary Mackinnon & Saunders.





And the 'making of'
