Check out this stop-motion/2D/3D music video for Locksley, completed during their off time over the course of 5 months by Mark Phillips and friends. I know there’s a ton of cut-up, 2D character pieces out there today, but I really appreciate how a great deal of their motion isn’t done by cutting them up and animating their limbs, but by sequencing shots. The lip-syncing in this respect is fantastic. All of that is coupled with a fun and strong concept.
