Incredible Stop Motion Animation Short Created Using Styrofoam

Stop motion animators employ many different techniques, materials and styles to create the props, backgrounds and characters for their unique three dimensional films.

Some people make latex or silicone puppets for their films, others use paper, found objects, or wet clay to create their piece, but animator and director Mikey Please of Parabella Animation Studio used a rarely utilized material to create his latest short- Styrofoam.

Mikey combines neatly sculpted Styrofoam models by the hundreds and long-exposure lighting to tell the story of Marilyn Myller- a girl who is both creator and destroyer. 

It took Mikey and his partner Dan Ojari over a year to create this mesmerizing short, but it will only take you six minutes to take this animated trip through the mind of a young artist.

That is so cool!
When are they going to open the 'experience' up to the paying public..?
I'd pay to have a play - of course, I'd happily head to Mars on a one way ticket as well, but that's just me...

Never underestimate the power of the human mind to rationalize even the most stupid and useless activities.

//personally, I think of my Neatorama sessions as research into abnormal psychology.

Here's where they got the ideal for those "Mars Space Helmets":

I remembered instantly seeing them before - and I think several REALLY cheap sci-fi movies used them too....

Glad to be of service, Vonskippy! And Denita: Bwahahaha!

Creamer is thinking that when he gets back, he'll have a little chat with the travel agent that booked this "vacation."
