Complex yet simple

In many of the school projects we do, stop-motion animation is often a technique teachers choose for their art projects. It is a technically simple method to use, good for teamwork (e.g. writing concept, making storyboards, creating the photo material) and the results are often better than other projects using other digital technologies (e.g. podcast, film, 3D graphics).

After watching these two stop-motion films from Sam3, a Spanish artist, this afternoon, I thought I’d share them with you.

Each is wonderful and wondrous in its own way. I particularly like Ouroboros because of the effects, complexities, yet it remains simple in theme. Also, it is filmed in Berlin, and the gods willing, I am off to Berlin this week to visit friends!
