‘The Seed’ Stop Motion Animation by Johnny Kelly

One evening last week I took a digital stroll over to Vimeo to have a look for some beautiful stop motion animation type stuff, and I found this little gem. I really love this stuff, so creative and really shows what can be achieved when artistic minds apply themselves to the technology that is Adobe CS4.

This is an award winning piece of stop motion animation by Johnny Kelly of Nexus productions, which Johnny describes as:

Johnny Kelly: “A two-minute animated voyage through nature’s life cycle, following the trials and tribulations of a humble apple seed. The film was kindly funded by Adobe, made using their CS4 range of software. It was produced at Nexus Productions and features a soundtrack by Jape. It was made using a mixture of stop motion papercraft and 2D drawn animation.”

For me this ticks all the boxes, and exactly the like of stuff I like to see, where hand-made artwork and creativity meets the digital film arena. If you enjoyed watching the video above, then check out the Making of The Seed video below for a glimpse into the work involved in the production.
