Blog: Stop Motion 101

Here's a new blog that I became aware of that looks like it is kind of like mine. It talks about various stop motion related things and has videos and things along with the post. If you like my blog, you might like this one too, so check it out. The link is below.

Animation Ramblings

Here's a blog that I like to keep up with called Animation Ramblings. It's not updated as often as I would like it to be, but it does have good information on it about various animation topics. In the heading of the blog it says, "The latest animation news from London and progress reports on the production of the flea circus film." I guess that pretty much sums it up. It's just another good blog to add to your reader if you have one.

Blog: The Mason

Here's a blog about a stop motion project called The Mason done by Vibeke Cleaverly. It looks like it is finished now, so there isn't any posting going on, but try going back into the archives and seeing some of the processes it took to get to the final result. You may learn something or even get inspired to make something yourself.

Nofby's Corner

One blog I've been keeping close track of lately is called Nofby's Corner. It's done by a guy by the name of Seamus Jennings who enjoys both music and stop motion animation. On his blog, he posts updates about the projects he has been working on as well as other things that he would like to share. What I'm keeping my eye on mainly at his blog though, is the project he's working on. Right now, he's mainly been creating different set pieces and props and I'm loving the style. It's all new and interesting to look at, but you can tell you don't need a huge budget to make something like that. It's the perfect scenario, awesome style without a huge budget. Each time I see a new piece, it looks awesome. I can't wait until the final film is out. If you would like to check it out as well, the link is below. I've also included another blog of his in the list.

Blog: Ceri's Adventures in Stop-Motion

Here's a blog called "Ceri's Adventures in Stop-Motion". The author describes it as, "I'm a 26 year old artist trying to teach myself stop-motion animation from scratch to a professional level within one year. Laugh at my over ambition!" That pretty much sums up what's on the blog and what is about, different things she is trying out with stop motion animation. Look at it to view some of the work in progress shots and things she has created by clicking on the link below.

Morilyon Animations

Morilyon Animations is the site of one person who does some animation, puppet making and more. He has both a blog, and a website, like me, to show off some of his stuff and to keep people updated about what he is doing. If you look around on his site, you'll find some nice looking puppets that he's created, props, and some animations. He's accomplished quite a bit and has a nice portfolio already. There is also an option to purchase a video he's made about creating brass tube armatures. So check out the sites, add his blog to your blog reader, and learn some more about a fellow animator. The links are below.

Blog: Knight WIP

Here's what seems to be an interesting start to a stop motion project called Knight. Although it looks likes like it is just starting and there hasn't been much going on with it, the progress does look promising. I think that it would be nice to see the project finished because the puppets so far look nice and stylized and the set work looks pretty nice. It's low budget, but cool nonetheless.
