Good stop motion animation is so impressive. It's even more impressive when a filmmaker is able to turn inanimate objects into characters who we feel real empathy for. This short film is beautiful and sad and about hardware. (via gizmodo.com)

This video is what I felt like when I moved to Austin. Home at last. I stop motion animated my brother-in-law for three weeks, rotoscoped him and added Flash animation and time-lapse photograph. Ben from Radical Face was cool enough to let me use his song “Welcome Home.” [Ed. note: Seems like everyone's moving to Austin these days. See you there, I guess.]

Tomas Redigh and Daniel Larsson of Ninja Moped animated this (allegedly) stop-motion tribute to coin-op gaming, but some are calling foul on exactly how it was animated (There's a 'making-of' at the end, so you can judge for yourself). Either way, it's pretty cool.
