Doesn't work for me either. I've had one or two flash games fail to respond for me under Linux too: there's obviously a lurking bug somewhere.

It's a QuickTime file and it won't play unless you have QuickTime installed on your computer.

Pretty neat. Seems all low-fi and simple, like something a few friends could do on the weekend, until you see the number of folks in the credits!

It's a QuickTime file and it won't play unless you have QuickTime installed on your computer... and the QuickTime Loa have been propitiated with offerings of tobacco, rum, and nurdles.

Yeah, the making-of was quite interesting... I think laying on one side for so long must hurt after a while.

Nice. It reminds me of this stop motion video for Oren Lavie's "Her Morning Elegance," both musically and in its side-scrolling motion.

I had that little plastic house as a child! OMG I'm practically a celebrity.

Cool. Very Michael Gondry-y.

It seems like an extraordinary amount of work for a 5-minute video! A nice video. Cute.
(Probably why I've never made a 5-minute video. Ever.)
The video for "Her Morning Elegance" was nice, thanks 6and12.

Yeah, maybe if your friends are Michel Gondry or PES. This was fantastic! Thanks, Saddo, this brightened my morning.

fish tick - he jumped the shark before it was half over. But then I think the shark jumped him first, so it's all OK, I think.
Very keen!

It seems like they spent a huge amount of time on the animation which was very original and clever. But if you are going to spend a huge amount of time, why not spend a little more to develop a more compelling story?

Brilliant. Extremely well done, professional and with a credible storyline too.

Mad respect.
The only human stop motion animation I've ever made was painful to make, 10fps and 2 min long. But then again it was for a 24 hr film festival, and made somewhere between 1am and noon the next day.
