Ale Stop Motion

Today is going to be our first web page review/display that we will be doing. How it will work is that I'll basically tell you a little bit about the site, review it, and then add the site to a link panel I have on the blog for you to access later.


Ale Stop Motion is our site review for today. The site is a blog done by Alejo Accini that covers his exploration into some aspects of clay animation as well as a few animations. I first encountered this site a long time ago and it seems that now, sadly, he doesn't update it anymore. Thankfully it's still on the web however and we can still see what still is there.

On the site you will find tutorials, a "making of" section, videos, and others. In the tutorial section, he teaches about how to use a couple programs (Monkeyjam and Windows Movie Maker) to compile images taken of animation into a movie and how to frame grab. They are both simple, easy to follow, and effective tutorials. By looking at his animations, you can see the progress he has made since he first started animating, and a couple of his newer ones are nice and smooth even though they are short. What I probably found most interesting on the site was the "making of" blog and articles he had. You can learn from his mistakes, learn new things he has learned and shared with us, as well as see an animation develop over time.

So what are you waiting for? Go check out the blog yourself and learn something new about stop motion animation or enjoy a couple of short animations.
