New Zealand Book Council - Going West

I just had to post this paper animation because it is absolutely remarkable. I got the link from Lina. Thank you so much Lina! I can only imagine the amount of work that this short required. After seeing all the expressive possibilities of stop-motion animation I won't be to able to stop all the motion in my mind... unless I create my own short one day. But first I need to learn as much as possible about the technique. Any help with this will be highly appreciated: links to tutorials, links to other remarkable animation shorts for inspiration, information about books, anything. My husband got a me a fat giant book that it's supposed to be the animation bible, that will be my staring point.

I promise to post my first stop-motion movie in this blog when it becomes a reality. It will take a while but I will make it happen.

This is utterly beautiful. I am such a fan of stop motion animation, but this one is amazing. So detailed, so moody and beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Hello Elsita

I found your blog tonight when I googled paper cuts. I just opened an etsy shop for my adult daughter who has special needs - she is also an artist who loves to do paper cutting. Lisbeth has a traumatic brain injury and uncontrolled seizures, yet manages to cut hundreds of beautiful snowflake/mandalas. I like that you mention the healing power of paper cutting. Your work is GORGEOUS, and so are you!!! I will certainly visit you often! If you are interested, here are the links to Lisbeth's etsy shop and blog:

Beautiful...I am overwhelmed by the thought how much work this kind of piece of work need to make this. I have been reading your blog for a while as your work is amazing, too. I hope we can see your animation soon.
By the way, I reblogged this entry on my tumblr site.

I hope that you don't mind that I used some of your photos on my blog (linking them back to you of course). I really admire your art :)

[Kay Petal]

Wow! I found your through a series of links. Your art is beautiful, your blog is beautiful too.

I'm commenting because I understand your desire to see your work come to life in stop-motion. I make needle felted celebrity caricature dolls - my nephews got a hold of one of my dolls and brought him to life in stop motion - I can't watch that video enough. It delights me so to watch my little Conan O'Brien wrestling a needle felted polar bear on an icy Alaskan lake. They took thousands of photos meticulously changing their poses - but they did it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvfVp67UmjQ

Your work would be truly magical brought to life. Good luck - ps - I recommend finding a couple of nephews to lend a hand.

I am not completely familiar with the model's issue to the point of a transcript but I applaud the fact she is standing up to accusations that hurt her personal life.

I have had several employers who allowed the most gross interaction between coworkers and it was horrendous, and I changed companies as soon as possible, not due to being 'overly-sensitive', but rather the novelty of day-in day-out garbage became childish. In one case, a coworker who suffered an inferiority complex (medically assessed) killed himself on a weekend off, after a few of such morons kept up the weekly abuse. Who was to blame, we will never know, but the daily abuse didn’t help.

I would be enchanted to see your first movie over here !!!!! I know you will do and although time will be worth later that'll do a great job!! greetings and many blessings!

[designjr]

[Latakia Letty]

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE IT!. Shared with all my friends too!

A lot of things is not as easy as it seems, only can do is original himself.
