The resource originally scheduled for today was a “no show” (remind me to send it to bed without any supper), so in its place today we are featuring this fun assortment of “stop motion animation” videos. Note: These are all YouTube streaming videos, so they are NOT downloadable, but only viewable online. If you have any problems with these, please consult YouTube’s troubleshooting tips for help. We are not able to provide technical support for these. Enjoy!
Sorry I’m Late! – Here’s an amazing short film using old fashioned, stop-motion “pixilation” animation. At the end of it, you’ll see some examples of how they put this together. There’s a lot more behind the scenes info on this process at the filmmaker’s website, http://www.sorry-im-late.comGreat fun!
And here are some more delightful stop-motion animations for your family’s viewing enjoyment.
Animated Origami
Watch this time lapse video of an origami (paper folding) artist as he creates an animated movie… then a rough version of the movie itself… and finally the finished product. Note the armature that holds the paper model and how the bluescreen background is set up so it can be digitally “erased”. Just fascinating! Enjoy!
Extra Strong
Western Spaghetti
Dancing Cupcakes
Rotting Strawberries
Here’s a neat time lapse video of a nice pile of strawberries rotting… or are they dancing? No… they’re rotting all right. Come on, strawberries! Fight it!
And here’s one last non-animated video, just for the sheer wacky scientific fun of it:
Extreme Diet Coke & Mentos
No doubt you’ve heard that one 2 liter Diet Coke + a handful of Mentos candies = a 5 second fountain of Diet Coke. Well, what happens when you combine 200 liters of Diet Coke and over 500 Mentos mints? It’s amazing and completely insane. The first part of this video demonstrates a simple geyser, and the second part shows just how extreme it can get. Over one hundred jets of soda fly into the air in less than three minutes. Here’s a spectacular mint-powered version of the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas.
Thanks, we enjoy your video compilations.
If you have a newer installation of the free version of RealPlayer you can download videos from YouTube. When you start the video a little box having the words “Download Video” will pop up above the upper right corner of the video box. I don’t use this feature very often, but it comes in handy once in awhile.
Oh my goodness, we enjoyed all of those. Wow, what patience these people have to be able to compile all of those exacting movements which you know took quite some time and put them into one short clip.
Loved it! Thank you for taking your time and patience to put them all together for us.
These are so funny. I especially liked the dancing cupcakes, what a riot!!!
thank you so much for all the videos. my kids loved them
more power!
I want to double that yes these are downloadable with the lastest Realplayer. I have put a few things on a USB stick to show to children in classes.
