What Mimi Saw

Stop motion video is amazing! Smashing Magazine has a good description of the super cool video art style:
It works by shooting a single frame of an object, then moving the object slightly, and then shooting another frame. When the film runs continuously in a film projector, or other video playback system, the illusion of fluid motion is created and the objects appear to move by themselves. This is similar to the animation of cartoons, but using real objects instead of drawings.
The mag also has 50 stop motion videos for you to watch. Here is one of my favorites...



For all 50 go here.
