Sorry I'm late

Amazing stop frame animation from Tomas Mankovsky, who has far too much time on his hands.

See the film here:

Praxinoscope

All the artwork was created by the director David Wilson. The illustrated, 12" discs are designed to rotate on a record player at 45rpm. A specially sculpted carousel of mirrors is positioned in the centre of the disc and rotated with the artwork in order to create the illusion of a moving image.

Züny

Züny is a toy brand consisting of high-end leather animal dolls. The products look great, and the packaging creates a fun environment for the dolls. The website is also executed really well — it's clean and easy to navigate, but still creates little discoveries of fun with animated scenery and animals gracing the horizon.

PS

Is it weird to make animal toys out of leather?

Hallowindow

Here is a cool Jonathan project for Halloween. Mark Gervais' "Hallowindow" sells DVD's that you can project onto a screen behind a window to scare trick or treaters. The coolest effect is the one that creates the illusion of someone being behind a curtain.
