I Am Not An Artist

Speaking of vibrant colors, you must check out “I Am Not an Artist” if you haven’t already.

T-Shirt War

Recommended by Jamee.  T-Shirt War is a vibrant and comical stop-motion video by internet entertainers (or “internetainers”) Rhett and Link.  The shirts worn in the video are available in their online store.  I’d love to get the series of Jenga tower shirts and wear one every day of the week.  Would people notice the progression?

Western Spaghetti

I have just come across we love stopmotion, a blog about stop motion videos, and I am trying to restrain myself from reposting all of its amazing entries here. However, I cannot resist sharing PES‘ Western Spaghetti video with you readers, as it is one of the most innovative videos I’ve seen in a while:

Strawberry Swing – Coldplay

I’m surprised it took me this long to discover the video for Coldplay’s “Strawberry Swing,” which was released several months ago.  The video features Chris Martin (whose colorful superhero outfit is like something out of Wee Sing in Sillyville) in the midst of  an imaginative adventure through a vibrant chalk world.  And it’s stop motion!

The full video is posted on the Coldplay website.  Here is the trailer:

Lemon Lime Photography

I like the work of Kansas City based photography duo Lemon Lime Photography, who specialize in wedding photography.  I especially love this stop-motion video they created for one couple’s wedding.  It’s vibrant and unique, and the framing of shots is fantastic.  (The video also seems very familiar to me, as I have attended three weddings in that very same church.)

Deadline Post-It Stop Motion

Found via Sillycone Inc’s blog. You know how much I love stop-motion…

Know Hope (Street Art Series)

If you ever have the opportunity to go to Tel Aviv, you will find a city freckled with awe-inspiring street art.  In my dream world, I spend my days exploring the city and photographing its walls.  Some of my favorite artists are actually artists whose work I first saw in the streets of Tel Aviv last winter.  Over the course of the next week or so, I’ll make individual posts about some of them.  For more about Tel Aviv street art in general, check out these links:

Know Hope is an artist who creates beautiful, sometimes heartbreaking scenes that often include the spindly character seen in the picture below.

For more of Know Hope’s art, check out this post at Open End, this great interview with Know Hope, the artist’s Flickr, and this (stop-motion!) video of him working on a project in NYC:

Her Morning Elegance

If you’ve read some of my earlier posts, you know I love stop motion. So it should come as no surprise that I recommend watching the music video for Oren Lavie‘s “Her Morning Elegance.”

Tony vs. Paul

Along the same lines as the post about How We Met, if you like stop-motion, you’ll love this:

How We Met

This is one of the first videos I ever added to my YouTube Favorites.  It was part of the Samsung G800 “Zoom in to See” campaign in 2007, and I think the stop-motion animation is amazing.
