Stop. Motion.

Okay..so I started this yesterday and didn't quite finish :P

So it's the Eve of Chinese New Year, and who should be dining at my humble residence aside from the Campbell's and Mr & Mrs Loi?

After an epic feast of amazing food. But mostly just satays, um, satays, and more satays, (a kebab-esque traditional Malaysian chicken-threaded-through-a-skewer-bunged-on-the-barbie, served with peanut sauce.)

The Gazzness showed us his latest hobby: stop motion videos!
Armed with a laptop, webcam and a program (I forgot the name, sorry, but will update soon as I know ;) ) He demonstrated the kids the basic how-tos.
Shall upload Gabrielle's soon as I receive it.. :P

But just like in the world of TV cooking and such, here's some he prepared earlier:

Go check out his latest, Tomato Attack on his myspace and while you're there do pop on your headphones and give his music a whirl :L.

After his little lesson though, my appreciation for stop motion has simply skyrocketed, and my admiration for the time and effort involved is just...wow.
Here's some that I particularly enjoyed ~_~..in order of production..

And I must say I am quite a fan of these ones by PES, so so clever and creative!

Amazing, yes?

And who can forget the five minute fillers on ABC Kids!? ie: The Trapdoor, Plonsters, Gogs and such? Oh claymation how I love thee. Heheh.
