Some cool 2D animation and enough paper-folding to drive a man crazy
This is a boldly bizarre approach to animation. I can’t even begin to think about how this guy planned out all the paper folding to do this. Definitely blurs the line between traditional 2D animation and stop motion since his hands are part of the piece too. You’ll see what I mean with the scissors… Oh, almost forgot: The title of the piece is VIDEOGIOCO, and it was animated and conceptualized by Donato Sansone

Check out this animated video set to Coldplay’s “Strawberry Swing”. I’m pretty sure it is pure CG, not stop motion, but definitely made to look like claymation. I could be wrong, but as I’ve said before, real stop motion kinda irks me, and this doesn’t, so I’m assuming a computer was involved. All hail...
Animation is a rapid display of sequence of various images and it is more like an optical illusion of motion of some sorts. It is feasible to use film making funda’s in animation as it leads to an entire animated movie on the lines of a commercial film.

The Seed (Video)
[Comics & Animation]
This is amazing! This is a short film by Johnny Kelly called "The Seed". Sure we've seen nature cycles before but this one takes the cake! It's all stop motion with 2D animation layered on it! The way the tree grows and when the apple splits apart?! It's awesome! It's wonderfully done.
