Inspirational Stop Motion Animations

-
1. Tetris
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0LtUX_6IXY&feature=youtu.be
I feel so lucky that this was the first stop animation that I came across. I'm so blown away by this and actually forgot I wasn't really watching or playing a game of Tetris...I felt the stress and anxiety to move the pieces to the correct place. Amazing!

2. Human Skateboard

This one was super cool and clearly must have taken hours to make...I'm stunned at how they had him hanging of the edge of the curb!

3. Lego
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHvb_3TVAfA&feature=youtu.be
I have watched this a few times now and still cannot believe it is all made out of Legos...people have so much patience!

4. A Short Love Story

This was was different but I was amazed at how it transitioned from clay-like characters, to parts that were made out of paper and then real life features...very creative

5. Chess

Another example of extremely tedious work...I have always been fascinated by clay animations so this one really stood out to me

6. Shaving by Hand

I thought this one was super fun and creative! If only it were this easy for humans haha!

7. Puzzle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS2sc9-4UaI&feature=youtu.be
This is just mesmerizing to watch and would be hard enough to complete without taking a photo between every move. Music really adds a lot to all of these as well. Blown away again!

8. Spaghetti

The sound effects in this one are amazing. So cute and clever - easily one of my favorites!

My Very Own Animated GIFs!

Animated GIFs For my first GIF, I made a clock with a moving minutes hand through Photoshop's frame animation. I have taken two motion graphics classes in my undergrad, however, they were a few years ago so this was a great refresher for me! I think both the frame animation and video timeline features on Photoshop are a great way to create a quick, fun GIF. I have never played around with onion-skinning before, so this was super fun for me to create! I love to draw and paint so making this made me feel as though I was actually making my animation come to life! I'm excited to keep messing around with it! I was nonchalantly chewing gum while making my other two GIFs...which gave me the idea for this one! I drew the images in Adobe Illustrator and then used Photoshop's frame animation again to enlarge the bubble!

Rotating Puzzle Peices This simple GIF is mesmerizing! As simple as it is it makes me wonder if it was difficult to make having to make sure that all of those different slots lined up perfectly. Coffee GIF I chose this GIF because I think it is a cute, fun way to quickly show the process of making a morning cup of coffee. I like the cartoon-y look and feel to it and the repetition of the same shape to make just about the entire clip. Pizza I found this to be silly and fun, if only we could cook and eat that many different kinds of pizza that easily! Chairs I liked this GIF because of it's opposition and the realistic look of every single piece making up and breaking down the chair. Control Room This one is super busy and hard to know where to look first, however, there was clearly a lot of work put into this to make it function! Mind Blown This is another silly one, but obviously super detailed and complex! Monster I loved this one because of the use of combinin
