French Fridays, a guest-curated program on Watch the Titles, updates with a title sequence by one of France’s most well-known title designers: Jean Fouchet. He created a fabulous stop-motion title sequence for L’Homme de Rio (That Man From Rio) – Philippe De Broca’s classic spy-adventure movie whose archeological theme was an important inspiration for George … Continued
Lonesome, autumn/spring/summer/winter (insert as appropriate), afternoons are made infinitely better by sharing a banana and a boogie with a supercute monkey in a nostalgia-drenched, papercut, dreamland. You Were in My Dream is a brand new, big-dollar winning, interactive animation project by Australian artists Isobel Knowles and Van Sowerwine. The project takes your pretty face and … Continued

In a similar vein to the brilliance of stop motion graffiti maestro Blu, cardboard enthusiast Sjors Vervoort shot this delightful animation in a non-descript Dutch town, where his … Continued
Motion painting! It’s when you create animations with live painting by capturing the lengthy, arduous, but ultimately thrilling process on candid camera. Like this glorious, multiple-sense boggling stop motion re-decoration of a baroque courtyard, created by giant muralist extraordinaire Blu, and his buddy David Ellis. Holy guacamole, they’re good!
It’s high time we posted some budget stop motion greatness – and here it is, in the form of this little sequence by a creative who (rather obscenely) calls himself Milky Eyes. He is unusually elusive when it comes to Google search engine results, despite his enviable talents in paper trickery…
