Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
This stop motion video of Mega Man 9, called Rockin In Paper, features a few details that didn’t make it into the final version of the game, such as the ability to control the game with a mustard bottle, and the Oreo Man boss battle, but it’s still a great piece of video game inspired cinema:

Carlos Lascano’s A Short Love Story In Stop Motion is a beautiful example of what’s possible when a talented artist that has mastered a medium tells a story filled with emotion in just a few minutes.
Though it’s hard to believe, most of this is not CGI, as the characters are made of wire and wood, then covered in paper, the clothing is paper, and the indoor scenarios are all made with paper and cardboard.
Says Carlos,
I wanted to achieve an organic look, away from the perfection found in computer drawing, so I used only real objects and hand-drawing that were later composed in After Effects.

Teardrop is a fantastic stop motion from Elena Colombo and Cecilia Viganò.
The audio is perfect, the video is creative, and it’s just their first attempt at making a stop motion, so look forward to more, and enjoy:
Ryan Cashman also has a lot of time.
By taking tons of 20-30 second long exposures using his DSLR, and then stringing them together in a time lapse/stop motion fashion, he was able to create a fantastic video using nothing more than a green LED keychain, a camera, and time.

Darcy Prendergast’s Off The Rails is a fantastic short about “all the crazy people met on public transportation”.
It’s done in stop motion claymation, and the lighting, tone, and color are all fantastically original and engaging.
Since Off The Rails has been on YouTube since October of ‘06, but has only managed a mere 20,000+ views, I’m going to call it an undiscovered gem of the ‘Tubes.
Enjoy:
This is Hamburg is a fantastic stop motion movie of two guys showing off their city through the windshield of their car.
The camera setup was a Canon EOS 40D with a Sigma 10-20 @ 10mm lens on a Manfrotto tripod fixed with seatbelts in the rear seat of a BMW 635 CSI. AV mode was used with a fixed manual focus set to 1M at f/6.3, and triggered automatically by a TC-80N3 set to 8-second intervals.
In all, there are roughly four hundred frames in the movie, with plenty of scenery to keep you entertained, so travel from the comfort of your own chair with This is Hamburg.

You may think you know how to cook spaghetti, but PES will teach you how to properly cook Western Spaghetti in this fantastic stop-motion film:
Blu’s Muto “Wall Painted Animation” has been making the rounds recently, and for good reason. It’s a fantastic stop motion piece that was done on public space, and highlights the talent and the art behind street art.
According to Blu, it’s “an ambiguous animation painted on public walls”, and it was made in Buenos Aires and Baden.

If you are among the 126 million people that have owned a Nokia 3310 cell phone at some point in their life, chances are pretty good that you’ve also played Snake on that phone as a way to pass the time.
However, you probably never played Snake like this guy:
