From Titans to Pes

I must say, I was excited when you first played that Pes "Kaboom" video. Stop-motion animation has been a favorite of mine ever since I saw Clash of the Titans in 6th grade. There's a playful, expressive quality to stop-action that cant be achieved through other forms of animation. In fact, there was once an X-Files episode where the director filmed a man in a suit (the monster) then cut out certain frames so as to give the appearance of it actually being stop-motion. (It would have been to expensive to film the whole scene with a puppet) Even with the advent of CGI animated movies, people still seem to gravitate toward the stop-motion gems (Nightmare before Christmas). Michel Gondry has used it, many on youtube have made simple lego/GI Joe movies. Hell, Pes was contracted by Bacardi to make a series of commercials for their flavored rums. Right now i have a drawer that i am filling exclusively with items for our stopmotion project and i must admit, i am excited.
