Wow, that's actually pretty amazing. Lots of effort, you can tell, went into this.

That was quite cool - loved the ending

Great animation - very clever.

Another great animation I saw recently was Tango by Zbigniew Rybczynski. In 1981, made by hand in communist era Poland.

"Thirty-six characters from different stages of life - representations of different times - interact in one room, moving in loops, observed by a static camera. I had to draw and paint about 16.000 cell-mattes, and make several hundred thousand exposures on an optical printer. It took a full seven months, sixteen hours per day, to make the piece. The miracle is that the negative got through the process with only minor damage, and I made less than one hundred mathematical mistakes out of several hundred thousand possibilities."

The actual animation does contain nudity, so I wont directly link, but if you are over 18 and not at work Google for Tango by Zbigniew Rybczynski onelargeprawn, it's the top result.

Thats cool, alot of effort went in to that..

I just watched that, Nick.

It was very good indeed, hard to follow sometimes as well.

Warning: Although this is a link to an Oscar winning animation it does contain brief nudity - this is external to funkypool and watch only if you believe you're allowed to!

EDIT: OK, I'll allow the link so long as my big warning stays for those at work / school / too young to watch.

Video at the top of the thread - class. Any idea what the Japanese at the start and end of it mean though?

Can't say I can read Japanese

The japanese do it like no other...

Another nice stop motion animation (4 minutes long but shows twice).

Wow! Imagine the of paint they used in that :O

Should read "the amount of paint"

Just so this post isn't useless, here's one I found earlier:

A much less professional but very fun stop motion video from Julia Nunes :
