A great claymation by Mark Osborne. It won several awards in 1999. [16 MB Quicktime, via Waxy.]

Also, nice use of one of my favorite New Order songs.

This is great stuff - though, not to nit pick, but I'm pretty sure anyone who doesn't work for Vinton prefers to call it clay animation, as Claymation is a registered trademark.

Ah, thanks for that! I have been looking for it on and off for years. A recent and very wonderful animation with a similar vibe is JoJo In the Stars by Marc Craste. I saw it at ResFest here in Toronto and was very moved.

I think simply "stop-motion animation" would be the preferred term. Using the word "claymation" with an animator is likely to get you a dirty look. Using that word to refer to that animator's work upgrades the look to a knee in the groin.

iamck, it might even be a triple (I remember it a lot more recently than 2001), but I still think it's oh so purdy. Best use of new order.

it might even be a triple Then I stand by my triple post with pride. Bring it on! Using that word to refer to that animator's work upgrades the look to a knee in the groin. I humbly apologize to all animators and pledge to use "stop-motion animation" from now on.

Then I stand by my triple post with pride. Bring it on! I apologize for calling you out, I got caught up in the metafilter culture. ;)
