Stop Motion Animation - The Morgan Spence Way

  Some of you may have already heard of him, others may not, but Morgan Spence has successfully been doing what many of us have previously attempted to poor effect. Morgan animates Lego using stop motion, and as evidenced by the videos (below) to brilliant effect and to an amazingly (probably painstakingly) high standard.

  Although I was aware of the Paul Oakenfold music video, I wasn't aware it was by young Morgan. But it was this article (below) a few days ago on the Daily Mail which peaked my interest and seemingly the interest of many many others.

  Already offering an impressive resume of projects, Morgan Spence is still only 15 years old, I honestly can't wait to see him flourish and make longer and longer projects.

Johnny Express By Alfred Imageworks

I watched a great animated short film today which is currently a Staff Pick on Vimeo.

It's called Johnny Express by Korean animation studio Alfred Imageworks.
The blurb reads:

It's 2150

There are all sorts of Aliens living throughout space.
Johnny is a Space Delivery Man who travels to different planets to deliver packages.
Johnny is lazy and his only desire is to sleep in his autopilot spaceship.
when the spaceship arrives at the destination, all he has to do is simply deliver the box.
However, it never goes as planned. Johnny encounters strange and bizarre planets
and always seems to cause trouble on his delivery route.

Will he be able to finish his mission without trouble?

Even if you don't like animated films or animation, it's a great comical story with some rather dark humour and only runs a mere 5:27, but is in no way a waste of time and worth watching in it's entirety.

Check it out!
