50 Excellent Stop Motion Videos (+1 Bonus)

Smashing Magazine recently ran a great post that rounds up 50 Incredible Stop Motion Videos. It looks like they missed my favorite though, so I’m including it below.

It’s a short film called Gisele Kerozene that’s part Mad Max and part Harry Potter. It’s a bit hard to tell at YouTube-quality, but all the flying sequences are accomplished by stringing together individual shots of the actors jumping off the ground with a broom between their legs.

Jason Kottke’s Best Links of 2008

For the last several years, Jason Kottke has posted an annual list of his favorite links of the previous year. As usual, it’s a treasure trove, with links to interesting videos, radio shows, some excellent non-fiction, and lots of other interesting randomness.

I haven’t made it through all the links yet, but the Mystery on Fifth Avenue article from the New York Times caught my eye right off the bat. It’s definitely worth checking out. And don’t miss the associated slide show.
