“There is an energy with stop-motion that you can’t even describe. It’s got to do with giving things life… to give life to something that doesn’t have it is cool, and even more so in three dimensions, because, at least for me, it feels even more real.” -Tim Burton

Of course we always like to think of the world as being constantly in motion, with time flowing smoothly and continuously from one moment to the next. Living in our bodies, it feels — as Ozomatli would say — like no matter what, you

But our perceptions fool us. It’s why you can take a series of stationary images, flash them before our eyes in sequence, and lo-and-behold, it appears to be in motion!

Scienceblog post about animation using stop-motion. But the highlight of the entry is the link to this short youtube vid, of an animation created using nothing but multicoloured post-it notes.

Enjoy and be amazed!
