I've never been a huge fan of stop motion, i find the characters uncanny and often too shaky, however i recently discovered a Markiplier Animated short which was stop motion and i really enjoyed. Most Animated shorts produced for youtubers such as GameGrumps and Markiplier are digital, however this one was not and i really enjoyed it. the character moves smoothly yet is still exaggerated enough to keep the movements interesting. The comedic timing is fantastic, and the juxtaposition of the characters lines being so deadpan but in such serious and/or dangerous situations is fantastic. Though the animator (in this case Cranbersher) has a script to work towards anyway, his use of shots and character movements is fantastic. Furthermore his wide shot of the character screaming is a fantastic collaboration between the let's player and the animator, using audio effects and shot framing to make the lines even more hillarious. Over the summer i am deffinitly going to attempt an (x-youtuber)animated in order to work with a ready made script, but i am also considering attempting some kind of stop motion.
