Other than video, my main area of interest has been animation, mainly stop motion and various methods of 2d animation (I'm really not best keen on 3d animations, but I'll go into that some other time). This is a beautiful little animation I came across recently, called The Seed. Its a mixture of flash and stop motion animation, set to a lovely piece of music by Jape. It was written and directed by Johnny Kelly, but its pretty staggering to see the ammount of people that were actually involved in the creation of such a short piece. I think all told there were 16 people credited with helping in the production of the animation. There's a nice little video of the creation of the animation on vimeo as well, showing the creation of the stop motion models from cardboard and how the stop motion parts were planned out in flash. All in all its a very nice piece, simply and cleanly executed, and the combination of the flat flash parts of the animation with the cardboard models add a nice extra dimension.
