Stop motion awesomeness

[zustifer]

I am so completely and thoroughly psyched for Madame Tutli-Putli. Film Board of Canada is animation's saviour nowadays, as it has honestly been for a pretty long time.
This is seriously the best animated thing I've seen in years. The animators apparently worked with a human actor to develop the personality of the protagonist, which, from the small clips available, looks freaking insanely excellent. The granularity of the movements is amazing on its own, and the movements themselves are so well-observed and wonderful. Here's another little clip; little bits of footage here and there.

I like watching stop motion animators' hands when they talk about their work.

Animators move in a particular way when they explain, especially. Usually the most noticeable thing is that they can take apart motions into components.

Damn, that's good.

Here's something that doesn't look anywhere near as good, but it's kind of neat, itself: a french PSA about using condoms

That was a lot better than I expected from the first couple of shots! They really did well with the style's limitations. Fun!
