Stop motion animation plus Post-it notes equals pixelly goodness. (Flash, via milkandcookies)

By Gazz, who have a few other stopmotion videos on their Flash site, if you fancy waiting for it to load.

For me, the shadow bit at the end was the most interesting element of this idea -- neat.

Damn it, I keep wanting to do something with stop motion animation, but as soon as I start planning it out it gets bigger and bigger in my head till I realize that there is no way I'm going to be able to pull it off.

Why can't I think up something this simple and clever?

Nifty. Reminds me of Michel Gondry's excellent music video for "Fell in Love with a Girl."

Ok, so the cool thing in stop motion lately seems to be having one element at "normal" speed - like the falling Post It about 55 seconds. Anyone know how they do it?

Was this done in an old interrogation room or something?

That was great. Thanks!

I liked the fact that they played around with different viewing angles rather than just having the whole thing shot straight-on. I also think that the shadow at the end was the best part.

Anyone know who did the music for it?

Looks like the room from Saw

I thought the best thing about the video was the one room where there's ivy growing out of the sink, that's such a cool idea.
