Inspiration - The Science of Sleep

It has been ages since I have watched this film but I love it.  I found this clip on youtube which puts together some of my favourite animated/arty moments of the film!

Animation Inspiration - United States of Tara Opening Sequence

I know this show has obviously been around for a while but was just watching the show last night and thought I should post about the animation in the opening sequence. How amazing is it - I love the popup book concept and illustration style.

I am hoping to be posting here more regularly with more stop motion inspiration, info and hopefully something i have made (if i ever get my act together!). If you have seen any great stop motion animations lately please send me an email or leave a comment as I would love to add them to the blog.

What's New?

It has been a long while since I have posted over here as we haven't been working on any animation work lately. But we have grand plans for this year to start something new. Especially after seeing Fantastic Mr Fox - I loved this movie!

I have been working on alot of solo work over here -however we have collaborated on something new - our wedding invites. Here is a little sneak preview of the work in progress.
