Stop motion film by PES: Western Spaghetti

Posted by Mark Frauenfelder, September 12, 2008 4:49 PM | permalink

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.

Favorite this! ( 46 )

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?

Wow, that was great! The die "melting" into smaller and smaller dice was especially cool.

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

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.
