There's just something about the simplicity of animated gifs I really love (click the image above if it ain't movin'). There's a bunch of them on Jaime Martinez's site which have a lovely calm, surreal feel to them. The rest of the portfolio's worth a look too.
"Time Flies" is a little stop frame animation of a two hour budget flight condensed into seven seconds. I've just cobbled it together for now, if I can think of a real use for it I'll commit a bit more time for proper grading and transitions as it's a bit raw right now. I tried to capture as many interesting clouds, wing tilts and flap movements as possible to cram as much difference into a short space of time as I could.
This stop frame video by Eric Testroete of his photos from a trip to Japan is really well put together and, partly because it's Japan, enchanting to watch. Anyone who's been there will fleetingly recognise so many of the flashes of places and thoroughly enjoy the video even more.
