Fans of Gumby and Mr. Bill (am I dating myself?) know what humor can be wrought from the deliberate and painstaking art of stop-motion photography. While there have been low-budget experimenters with this genre for many, many years, only recently, with the advent of programs like Boinx, has the ability to do stop motion cheaply and easily been so widespread.
And so we are seeing an explosion of creativity…some good and some bad…all over the place. In particular, if you do a search for stop motion on places like You Tube, you get a gazillion hits. And one of the vids I found recently along these lines that I found mind-blowingly impressive, was this one about…well, it’s not really ABOUT anything. But it is funny. And long. And quite well done.
