Stop frame animation is probably one of the most time consuming, yet unrestricted types of animation out there. You don’t really need a computer, and there are no imaginary computer graphics (as nice as they may be). You can do it with a camera, or even paper and a pencil. It’s essentially the artist and an idea. Above is a great short film by Guillaume Reymond of the GameOver Project, called Human Tetris.
Take it or leave it.
