// September 13th, 2009 // No Comments » // Film & Animation, Video
Yesterday I saw my friend post up a video on facebook, that Video makes me watched 3 times repeatedly! I love it very much and the video is nicely done! I would like to share it here. The maker of the video is PES , PES is one person, not a film collective or a production company.
After one video share by my friend at facebook, I do a search on google and watched all his video in youtube. His video is interesting to watch, it uses stuff that we see everyday and match it with great sound and audio (this reminds me when I have my sound design class).
Here I will share some of the videos that I like most,
Western Spaghetti
The first video that caught my attention!
Baby Nut
This video is so cute, I stare at the monitor and smile like I was really looking at a cute baby! lol~ I am really going Nut!
Game Over
This 1 is cool, all the games that you played in the old days.

Roof Sex
Interview
I found an interview of eguiders and PES, I took out some parts to share at here,
1. I like to start these by having people introduce themselves. Can you tell us a little about your background and how you became interested in stop-motion animation?
I knew absolutely nothing technically about stop-motion animation until I had the idea for my short film Roof Sex. I studied literature and printmaking in school, not film or animation. I don’t think I really knew what a director did until I had to figure out how to make my own film.
With Roof Sex I felt that the right technique for the idea would be stop-motion, so I taught myself how to animate by doing tests with doll furniture on my dining room table. In the course of making that film, I realized that I had lots more ideas using objects, so I started making them. The ideas are what interest me, not the technique.
4. I’m curious, where do you find inspiration for some of your shorts? Do you find that ideas come to you more in dreams, walking around the city, etc?
I carry a piece of paper and pen with me at all times. I just write stuff down and inevitably certain ideas keep coming up, bugging me. Then it’s just a matter of getting them out there so my mind can move on to new things.
8. What advice would you give to someone who was interested in learning stop-motion animation and directing?
It all starts with a good idea. A good idea with a mediocre execution is more forgivable than a beautifully animated film of a lousy idea. So, I’d say, work on your ideas. Learning animation is not the hard part. There are many talented animators in the world. But a good idea is still hard to come by.
10. What is the greatest challenge you face when making a short? What is the greatest reward?
Not fucking it up. Not fucking it up.
11. Finally, is there any idea you can leave us with to help us foster greater creativity online?
Entertain yourself first, others will follow.
