PES' stop motion moviemake movies use households objects in place of other things to create a whimsical effect. I really like "Western Spaghetti." The candy corn as jets of flame and yellow Post-It notes for pats of butter are clever. Nice sound effects, too.

    PES is one of my biggest inspirations, as a crap-I-got-my-film-degree-now-what-er. I somehow hadn’t seen this one yet, and I think it may be my favorite. Good stuff.

    This video reminds me of another stop motion artist. I thought I originally saw his videos here but I’m not sure. The one video i remember is of the making of pot brownies but i can’t seem to find the video now. Does anyone know which videos I am talking about and where i can find them?

  • MichelleMcCormack

    I’ve seen this before – a while ago. I can’t remember where. Anyway, I love stop motion, and this is great.

  • skatanic

    Never mind, I found it. Milkfat!!!
